Davi Brito left BBB 24 viewers shocked when he revealed that he doesn’t know Fernanda Montenegro. Alane Dias was talking to the Bahian about film and soap opera fees, until he mentioned the veteran actress. “Who is this?”, shot the brother, causing the dancer and Beatriz Reis to laugh.
The woman from Pará unpretentiously explained to her ally the income of actors when working on projects such as series and soap operas. Davi then questioned whether an artist could receive R$1 million for acting in a serial.
“I think so,” replied the dancer. “The big ones… Do you think Fernanda Montenegro earns how much to do a soap opera?”, she added. At the same time, David asked: “Who is this?”
Alane and Beatriz burst into laughter because of the question. “She’s like the greatest Brazilian actress. She’s already a lady. She’s incredible,” she explained. Afterwards, the sister bet that he just didn’t recognize her name, but he would certainly know who Fernanda Montenegro was if she saw her. David agreed.
On social media, the actress’ name was trending due to her brother’s question. “Soon he’s going to say he doesn’t know who Boninho is!” claimed an internet user on X, the former Twitter, identified only as Lary.
“These young people who don’t know history, relevant people who will be the future of the country. Sad. If Davi thinks he’s ‘mitting’ like that… He needs to rethink his route”, commented Fabiane Mello. “He doesn’t know anything or anyone! This David gets tired, you know?”, complained Diego Pablo.
On the other hand, some internet users came to David’s defense. Many claimed that it is common for a 21-year-old to not know who famous actresses and actors are in Brazil, because they no longer watch soap operas.
“Do a survey among 21-year-olds on the periphery. I want to see who knows Fernanda Montenegro. And what’s more: what’s the advantage of being on the Globo network and saying you don’t know artists? Only if he wanted to get burned”, claimed an identified X user like Zelda Scott.
“People forget that he is only 21 years old. People his age don’t know most of the older actors. The new generation likes the internet and doesn’t consume open TV”, claimed an internet user called only Cassie.
