There are many child stars who have gained prominence in Brazilian plots. Some little ones are practically born under the TV spotlight and appear on the scene very young, with little time to live. You’ve probably already been enchanted by one of those cuties that appeared in soap operas. But how are they today?

With that in mind, the team at awesome.club decided to reveal where are 10 famous babies and children from the small screen that conquered the public in the past. Let’s find out together if, after growing up, they decided to continue their artistic career. Follow up!

Anyone who remembers Júlia Maggessi’s face in Laços de Família (2000) may not even imagine that the actress never left TV. She was only 2 years old when she appeared as Nina, the granddaughter of Helena, Vera Fischer’s character in Manoel Carlos’s serial.

Some time later, as a child, the blonde was successful in Prova de Amor (2006) and Os Mutantes (2008), both produced by Record. As an adult, she starred in the biblical soap opera Jesus, shown between 2018 and 2019.

Little Nina wasn’t the only baby to be featured in Family Ties. Son of the unforgettable Capitu, character of Giovanna Antonelli in the plot, the adorable Bruninho also left the public dying of love.

The boy was played by the twins Natã and Andrey Beltrão, who took turns in the role between one scene and another. Currently, with more than 20 years, the duo put their work aside to dedicate themselves to the world of automobiles. On social media, they do not hide their passion for cars and motorcycles.

Another personality who was successful as a baby in the plots of Manoel Carlos was Victor Tavares. In 1997, the boy gave life to little Marcelinho, son of the good guys Eduarda (Gabriela Duarte) and Marcelo (Fábio Assunção) in the soap opera Por Amor.

As a child, he ended up distancing himself from acting when he went to live in the south of the country. Today, more than two decades later, the boy lives in Santa Catarina and dedicates himself to a career in Sanitary and Environmental Engineering.

Grandson of the protagonist Griselda (Lilia Cabral) in Fina Estampa (2011), little Quinzinho enchanted, with great cuteness, the audience of the soap opera. Gabriel Pelicia was 4 years old at the time the plot was shown and, today, as a teenager, he fondly remembers the backstage of the recordings.

He grew up, left his hair long and doesn’t hide his desire to return to the small screen. The boy revealed that he intends, in the future, to reconcile his acting career with another passion of his, Veterinary Medicine.

Imagine starring in a successful soap opera with just 10 months, alongside established names like Tony Ramos. This is the story of Beatriz Bertu, the eternal Heleninha from Baby on Board, a plot aired by Globo in 1988.

At the time, the little girl could barely walk, but she was already enchanting audiences across the country. Today, more than 30 years later, Beatriz continues to invest in the craft that made her famous. Graduated in Theater, she has performed in several shows.

It was difficult not to melt with the cuteness of little Lorenzo Souza in A Força do Querer. In Gloria Perez’s soap opera, aired in 2017, the boy played the baby Ruyzinho, son of the espevitated Ritinha (Isis Valverde).

The “little piece”, as he was called by the character on the scene, was only 1 year old when the plot aired. Today, he is already bigger and his mother revealed that, if he wants, she will do her best to turn him into a great actor.

The twins Serena and Vitoria Lovatel also know the spotlight since they were very young. At 11 months of age, the sisters debuted on the small screen as baby Júlia, daughter of Fernanda Vasconcellos’ character in A Vida da Gente (2011).

Shortly thereafter, they took turns playing the role of Laurinha in the soap opera Flor do Caribe. This time, the fictional mother was none other than Grazi Massafera. Currently, the girls are over 10 years old and are passionate about sports. They practice swimming and surfing, in addition to participating in competitions.

Carla Diaz emerged to success in her childhood, when she played the unforgettable Maria, in Chiquititas, a production of SBT that premiered in 1997. But anyone who thinks that this was the actress’s first work on TV is wrong.

At the age of 4, playing the role of little Eliana in the soap opera Éramos Seis (1994), she already showed resourcefulness in front of the cameras. Since then, the blonde has played other prominent roles on the small screen, such as the ambitious Kadhija, from O Clone (2001), and Carine, from A Força do Querer (2017).

Today, the young Nicolas Prattes is successful as a heartthrob in Globo’s soap operas. However, perhaps few people know that the actor first appeared in a production of the network when he was just 3 years old.

The boy made his TV debut in Terra Nostra, a highly repercussion plot shown in 2000. On that occasion, he played little Francesquinho, the false son of the protagonists Giuliana (Ana Paula Arósio) and Matteo (Thiago Lacerda).

At the age of 4, Gabriel Kaufmann won over the audience of the telenovela Páginas da Vida (2006). Playing alongside big names such as Regina Duarte and Marcos Caruso, the boy was so successful that he ended up joining other works on TV.

Since then, he hasn’t stopped acting. As a teenager, he gained prominence by playing the character Arthur in two seasons of Malhação, shown between 2015 and 2017. Today, now of age, the boy draws attention on social media with his heartthrob look.
