This Saturday (4) marks three years since the death of Paulo Gustavo . The actor and comedian passed away on May 4, 2021, at the age of 42, due to complications from Covid-19. Friends of the artist, like Tata Werneck , Ingrid Guimarães , Monica Martelli, Mariana Xavier It is Marcus Majella used social media to pay tribute.
On Instagram, Werneck wrote that he dreamed about his friend and that he has been thinking about him a lot. “You will always be present in our lives (…) You are unforgettable, my friend. And I love you very much. May you be at peace and have learned to rest,” he wrote.
Actress Ingrid Guimarães published a video of Paulo Gustavo playing Senhora dos Absurdos, a character from her program 220 Volts, in which she mentions a Madonna show in Rio de Janeiro. This Saturday, in addition to marking three years since the actor's death, is the date on which the Queen of Pop will perform in a historic show on Copacabana beach.
“On that date he premiered Minha Mãe é uma Peça. That date, Lolo and I debuted Cócegas. That date he was gone. That date Madonna came. We always wake up on this date and ask: why, huh? At this time he would be harassing everyone to meet at Madonna's concert! I miss you forever, Gusti”, he wrote.
Marcus Majella also paid tribute to his friend by publishing a video in which Paulo Gustavo makes his own version of the video for “Bitch, I'm Madonna“.
“In 2015, when Madonna released 'Bitch I'm Madonna', Paulo Gustavo was so excited about the clip that he decided to make his own version with the 220 volt characters”, he reported in the publication. “Today he would certainly be ecstatic about this performance in Copacabana and sending me a thousand photos of the look he would wear to watch the pop mom”, he added.
Mônica Martelli also published a video in which she laughs alongside Paulo Gustavo. “Three years without your laugh. That unique laugh that opened all the paths to our intimacy. Every situation in my life, I always think about what you would be saying to me, what you would be thinking and how you would be acting. His love was ACTION! I miss you so much,” she declared.
Actress Mariana Xavier, who played the daughter of Dona Hermínia (played by Paulo Gustavo) in “Minha Mãe é uma Peça”, also remembered the date. “Three years without Paulo Gustavo’s genius, generosity and frantic joy… Longing is love saying that it still exists and will exist forever”, she published.
Paulo Gustavo's widower also paid tribute
Thales Bretas, 36, widower of Paulo Gustavo, also used social media to pay tribute to him. The doctor talked about what it's been like dealing with the loss of her husband.
“Even though I try not to worry too much about this date, a melancholy overtakes me before, during and after it. Although I don't talk much publicly about grief, it lives inside me, whether I like it or not. Nobody wants it. But the fact, and what I learned over these 3 years, is that he is and will always be here. This is me now”, he began.
“It changed me forever, like a birth. While birth is the promise of a new world that reveals itself little by little, death is the certainty that a world has ended abruptly and definitively. People ask me how I managed to “get over” or move on after such a loss. And the truth is that you can't overcome it. Not even time heals,” he continued.
“He shows you the need to find yourself again in this absence. In longing. In adapting plans. It is a fact that, for those who stay, life goes on. And I think, I always have and I will think that there is a lot to live for while we are given this gift,” he added.
