I went to the hospital, I was treated, and I’m fine
, said Alexandre Slaviero, after fainting during a live stream on social media on Saturday night (10/10).
The former “Malhação” heartthrob shocked fans and caused concern when he fainted live, an incident he attributed to exhaustive schedules, insufficient sleep, and poor nutrition. In a statement released on Instagram, the actor detailed the behind-the-scenes of the incident. Amidst so many commitments, I ended up exceeding my limits, sleeping little, eating inadequately, and not giving my body the necessary rest. And the body, at some point, calls the bill. That’s what happened during one of the live streams, when I ended up passing out
, he said.
Eight-Hour Marathon to Promote New Book
Slaviero’s initiative began as a promotion for his book O Simples é Tudo
, released in May, a work compiling reflections on acting and the importance of maintaining a simpler approach in front of the camera. However, audience engagement changed the direction of the digital campaign. The reception was so beautiful that, when I realized, I was already doing live streams of five, six, seven, and even eight hours straight, often more than one a day
, the actor, 42, explained.
During one of these long broadcasts, the fainting occurred. The scene caused immediate virtual panic among viewers, with fans describing the moment of shock and calling it “agonizing.” Some online viewers who were watching the live stream claimed to have seen movements resembling a seizure, although the actor did not confirm this specific detail.
Television Career and Exit from Telenovelas
However, the actor has been officially away from television since 2021, the year he participated in the telenovela “Gênesis.” The attempt to reconnect with the public through social media to promote his literature ended up revealing the weight of an unregulated routine.
Health Alert and Planned Return
After the emergency medical treatment, Slaviero emphasized that the incident served as a definitive warning about his physical limits. The body calls the bill, summarized the artist, who now prioritizes rest before returning to interact with followers digitally.
Despite the scare, the plan to return to social media remains firm, albeit under new rules set by himself. Now it’s about respecting my recovery time. I’ll be back to the live streams soon, with the same joy as always, but in a more balanced way and respecting my limits
, said the actor.
Wrapping up his explanations about the incident, the former heartthrob reiterated his feelings of vulnerability mixed with appreciation for the care received from admirers. A scare, a lesson, and above all, much gratitude for so much care and concern. I’m fine, recovering, and learning to respect my own limits a bit more
, he said.
