"Throwback Thursday" -- Diogo and Dreambooks

Okay, it's been WAY too long since we've had a new post here!  And while I don't actually have anything "new" to post, in honor of it being Throwback Thursday today, I thought I'd post some pictures of Diogo in an ad campaign for Dreambooks, a Portuguese digital photo book company he has been a spokesperson for since 2009.   In fact, he even did an awesome ad campaign for Dreambooks this past Christmas.

Diogo to appear in new ad campaign in Portugal

TMN, a Portuguese mobile phone company, announced this week that Diogo will be the "face" of their upcoming ad campaign.  The campaign is expected to include a commercial and print ads, launching sometime this weekend or week.  

I will post the video and images of the ads as soon as I get them.  But, and I could be wrong, but I think this may have been what Diogo was filming when was tweeting and sharing pictures of filming last weekend, including this picture he shared, saying: "Shooting at the beach. Costa Vicentina Rules!!!"

We shall see.... In the meantime, take a look at this video about another ad campaign Diogo participated in back in 2010 for "Boa Estética" clinics. (A translation, thanks to the ever amazing Lou da Gama, is below the video.)

The Making of a Scene

So, we all know Diogo is so talented that he makes every scene he is in look effortless.  But there is a lot that goes into every scene, even more so in filming a "special" scene, such as a "love" scene, or a chase/fight scene.  Since we really didn't get to see Diogo in those types of scenes in "The Bible," hee, I thought it might be interesting to see what has gone into the making of these unique scenes in the series he has done in the past.

Thus, today's "Clips of the Day" feature interviews with Diogo and a couple of his co-stars talking about what it takes to film these particular types of scenes.

First clip comes from 2010, when SIC's E-especial talked to Diogo and his co-star Sisley Dias ("Tiago") on the set of "Laços de Sangue" about an upcoming chase and fight scene they would be doing for the series.  Our friend Lou da Gama kindly translated the clip for us, found right below the video.

"Reporter: Come with us behind the scenes of "Laços de Sangue" for a chase of "Tiago" [Sisley Dias] by "João" [Diogo] with many fight scenes.

Do You Believe in Magic?

While watching daredevil Nik Wallenda's logic-defying high-wire walk over the Grand Canyon last night, I was reminded of a clip I had seen online of Diogo that I wanted to share.... 

So today's "Clip of the Day" comes from SIC's "Minutos Mágicos" ("Magic Minutes.")  This fun show features magician/illusionist/host Mário Daniel traveling across Portugal showing people he meets on the street various magic tricks "in plain sight," aka without any special effects.  In 2010, Diogo was Mario's special guest on "Minutos Mágicos," and our friend Liliana was kind enough to translate his appearance on the show for us, which can be found right below the video.

Happy Father's Day!

Even though it is technically not Father's Day in Portugal, (Father's Day is actually celebrated on St. Joseph's Day, March 19th, in Portugal) I still wanted to wish Diogo a very Happy Father's Day as we in the US celebrate it today.  And I also wanted to use "Father's Day" as the theme for today's "Clip of the Day."  So, today's clip comes from a 2010 interview with Diogo on the SIC Mulher show "Mundo das Mulheres," where he discussed being a father -- both onscreen and off.  

Our dynamic duo Liliana and Lou da Gama teamed up once again to translate this special, great interview for us, which can be found below the video/link.

Interview with a Vampire - Clips of the Day

Interview with Diogo about playing a vampire, that is. :)  

Today's "Clips of the Day" come from 2010... when Diogo had a cameo role on SIC's vampire series, "Lua Vermelha" ("Red Moon"), as"Artur," a fearsome vampire who returns for revenge.

Below are two interviews Diogo gave in 2010 about playing a vampire/Artur, followed by translations of the interviews, thanks to the incredible Liliana.

Making of "Dreambooks" Video with Diogo!

Okay sorry for a 2nd post today so soon, but an awesome fan, Eva Lin, posted this great video of Diogo on my Diogofanfriends Facebook page, and I had to share.  

It's behind the scenes of Diogo working with "Dreambooks" photo books that he referenced in the interview from today's "Clip of the Day."  This video is from 2010, so it was before the interview on "Boa Tarde" obviously, but it's a fun little video, so I wanted you all to see it.  Thanks Eva Lin!
