Whether selling beer at New Year’s in Copacabana or working at a drinks kiosk in a shopping mall, several celebrities caught the internet’s attention after revealing they had changed professional field .
If before their work involved memorizing texts, building characters and living stories created by renowned television authors, now they pursue a career in other areas ; voluntarily, for lack of a better option or out of necessity.
A CNN separated the stories of five actors who they dropped the soap operas and changed professions. See below:
Marcello Antony
On Monday (3), the star of “Mulheres Apaixonadas” and “Senhora do Destino” announced on his Instagram that he is starting his career as a luxury real estate consultant in Portugal.
In an interview with CNN Antony stated that the country has become the Miami of Europe due to the rapid appreciation of luxury properties in the country.
“For those who have enough income and money to invest in high-luxury properties, this has become a paradise. There is a real estate boom in this absurd sense. The amount of works, land. Portugal is now being considered the Miami of Europe”, said the actor, referring to the city located in the North American state of Florida.
The actor works as a real estate consultant for The Agency, an American luxury real estate brokerage that has expanded its services to countries such as Jamaica, the Netherlands, Turks and Caicos, Spain, Canada, the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas. The company has a reality show on Netflix called The Beverly Hills Brokers.
Daniel Erthal
At the beginning of the year, actor Daniel Erthal, who was the heartthrob of “Malhação”, went viral on the networks after documenting his routine as a beer seller on the streets of the Copacabana neighborhood, located in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The actor’s venture is called Ilha da Sede and he often shows behind-the-scenes of his new work on his Instagram account.
Patricia Werneck
In May, it was Patrícia Werneck’s turn to become a topic after being seen working at a natural drinks kiosk in a shopping mall located in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The actress wore a white uniform to work at the kiosk, which differed from those adopted by other employees there, who wore black. The location is a franchise of an international brand called Smooy, focused on producing smoothies.
The actress has been away from television since 2012, when she played a novice in the remake of “Gabriela”, by Walcyr Carrasco.
Carlos Casagrande
The actor from soap operas such as “Sete Pecados” and “Fina Estampa” has not acted since “I Love Paraisópolis”, in 2015. That same year, Carlos Casagrande moved to Miami, in the United States, where he opened a chain of restaurants.
Today, he is a partner in an architecture and construction company, but he also has ventures in other areas, such as a digital payments company, a commodities exporter and a beauty center.
Davi Lucas
One of the main child actors of his generation, Davi Lucas abandoned acting to study psychology. At the time, he told Quem that he had changed areas to escape harassment and be able to live a normal life.
Today, Davi Lucas has a degree, but chose not to treat patients in therapy sessions and sells a type of course that teaches a “manual” for clients to develop discipline.
