The actor Paulo Gustavo, who previously said he did not want to raise any flag and refused to answer that he is gay, declared in an interview with Bruno Astuto, from Época magazine, that just the fact of being successful in the theater "dressed as a woman", in the comedy 220 Volts, it is already a contribution to the "gay cause".

"I don't feel pressured to raise the gay flag and I don't need to talk about my personal life to debate homosexuality and prejudice. Just the fact of doing a play dressed as a woman, addressing these difficult topics, making the play a phenomenon, already It's a political act," he declared.
According to the actor, the main concern is that his art contributes to "something", especially children and the elderly. "If I can change the mind of whoever is watching me a little, I would be very happy. If I have the Thales (Bretas, your boyfriend) or not, that only concerns me. I don't need to talk about my personal life to discuss homosexuality and prejudice. I speak and criticize these themes through my art, with my characters: this is my contribution to the gay cause."
Paulo also says that he has been a victim of the media and that many rumors are spread as if they were true. "These blogs that talk bad about everyone are not the best place for the public to find out about artists. It came out that I was dating Marquinhos Majella, the other day I went for a walk with Fil Brás, my friend of many years, the scriptwriter of everything I do, and then they said I was taking a walk with my boyfriend. In other words: zero concern for the truth."

In the interview, the actor also denied the fame that he is a star and that he refuses to take photos with fans. "If I'm at the airport, I take 100 photos with fans between my arrival, boarding and getting on the plane. But if I say 'no' to someone because I'm at risk of missing my flight, for example, that person will hate me forever There's no way to please everyone."
In a good phase, the artist declared that he created a small company and that he currently has 50 people working on his team. On Tuesday (1st), he will be alongside Ivete Sangalo presenting the 22nd edition of the Multishow Awards, which will choose the best in music in 15 categories.
