For those who don't know, Ghilherme played teenager Leonardo in the film, who is blind and gay. The film was a box office success and became Brazil's bet for the 2015 Oscars.
According to the actor, the author of the novel Lícia Manzo watched the film and considered it "the spitting image" of the character written by her. "Lícia watched me and showed the Jayme (Monjardim, director). She already had the script written, said that she liked me and that I looked like Bernardo. Even at the beginning of casting preparations, last year, she called me Bernardo", she says with a laugh.
At 20 years old, Ghilherme now faces another challenge: the character Bernardo, aged 15, is the result of assisted reproduction from an anonymous donor. He discovers through a website that he has half-siblings from the same biological father, Domingos Montagner's character, and seeks to rescue these blood ties.

I dance whether in the hotel room or here at Projac, I'm always dancing and I need to take classes, which is very important. I consider myself an artist.
