Diogo on Só Visto!

Diogo and his "Virados do Avesso" co-stars were on RTP's "Só Visto!" this past weekend, as the show was at the recent cocktail party/presentation of the comedy film, which is playing in theaters now in Portugal.  Our rock star Dina was kind enough to send us the segment, along with the translation for Diogo's parts in the short but sweet clip, which can be found right below the video.

Diogo on "Só Visto!" discussing "Virados do Avesso"

RTP's "Só Visto!" went behind the scenes with Diogo and his co-stars when they were shooting their upcoming film, "Virados do Avesso" ("Turned Inside Out.")  Our amazing Dina sent us the video of this fun interview, along with a translation, found right below the clip.

Diogo on "Só Visto!" discussing "Virados do...

ADRIANE GARCIA (Host): A Portuguese comedy that promises to be the comedy of the year. "Virados do Avesso" has a star cast, Edgar Pera directing and even a super special appearance by Anselmo Ralph.
DIOGO MORGADO: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! This is my ice cream! You know that every time I'm near you, look, I keep sweating (he wipes his forehead with a tissue) and I need an ice cream to stay cool.
DIOGO MORGADO: It's a great, light comedy... it's the story of a guy who suddenly wakes up almost in another life. Doesn't recognize himself because he's had a stroke, and part of his memory is gone, including the part that he's gay.
NICOLAU BREYNER (actor and producer): It is a very funny comedy, with a group of notable actors, and Edgar Pêra directing.
EDGAR PÊRA (director): The story is very interesting, because it challenges our attitudes and prejudices, the idea that a person can lose their memory of their sexual orientation.
ADRIANE GARCIA: He's more international than ever, this Anselmo. We can say since he acts with Hot Jesus, now there is Hot Anselmo.
(Anselmo laughs.)
DIOGO MORGADO: In one scene "João" (Diogo's character in the film) tries to show his friends how "macho" he is. Only he, poor fellow, doesn't know how to be macho. So look, check out the outfit: look at the boots. This is the idea that João has of what macho must be. Look at the belt. I look like I came from Brokeback Mountain.
ADRIANE GARCIA: How is to act with our Hot Jesus?
ANSELMO RALPH (who's a very famous Portuguese singer): Look, the guy is, in a good way, damn silly. (laughing) How does a guy go from playing Jesus to a fool?
ADRIANE GARCIA: It’s a sign that he’s really a great actor. And just as he has been so cherished here, he is everywhere.
ADRIANE GARCIA: Can I touch you, or not?  (One of Anselmo's famous songs is called "Don't Touch me.")
ANSELMO RALPH: No, don’t touch me.
ADRIANE GARCIA: Just a little...
ANSELMO RALPH: No, I just said no, don’t touch me.
DIOGO MORGADO: Put the song "Don't Touch Me" on, and it's the perfect excuse for everyone to stay with no clothes on, in their underwear.
ADRIANE GARCIA: Diogo, invite everyone to see the movie.
DIOGO MORGADO: Guys, “Virados do Avesso”.... a spectacular cast, a fun and entertaining comedy. Do not miss it.
CLIP FROM "VIRADOS DO AVESSO": João (Diogo) says to his friends: "This is just what I needed. A night out with booze and babes. BABES."

As always, another big thank you/obrigada to Dina for the video and translation!  

Make sure to follow the "Virados do Avesso" Official Facebook Page for all the latest updates on the film, which opens in theaters in Portugal on November 27th.  And I, for one, have already begun the prayer circle that we'll get to see the film here in the U.S. with English subtitles! :)
