Actor Bernardo Falcone, who became known for playing Téo, in the Brazilian version of the hit Rebelde, which aired on Rede Record, has just publicly admitted his homosexuality.
In an interview with the newspaper O Dia, the 34-year-old artist said that he never lived in the closet. “In reality, I never lived a life 'in the closet'. Professionally, years ago, I became convinced that to be assimilated by the television market I would have to not talk about certain subjects, not be a certain way. I agreed to the game, but I saw that it wouldn’t make me happy,” he declared.
“I saw that I was missing the opportunity to use my work as a platform to start conversations about the topic that could have a positive impact on the lives of people who have always followed my work,” he reveals, who is called “Beni” by his fans. .
“I felt like I was wasting my time. I decided to no longer worry about the expectations and opinions of others about me and focused on being the artist that I would have loved to have existed when I was a child and teenager”, he explains, saying that he is not afraid of losing work, including at Record.
“I did good work on the projects I was involved in at Record. I like to think that these works speak more than any personal issue of mine”, adds Bernardo Falcone.
