This past weekend, Diogo attended Festa de Verão da SIC/Caras, which is the annual summer party held by SIC network and this year their sister network, SIC Caras. The party is no longer a televised special, but was held at a nightclub called Seven in Vilamoura, Algarve, with many of the network's stars in attendance. Our awesome friend/heroine Dina was kind enough to send us video of Diogo being interviewed on the Red Carpet for Festa de Verão, along with video of Diogo on the news talking about meeting fans along the red carpet. She also sent us translations, found right below each video. As always, obrigada Dina!
Diogo at Festa de Verão da SIC
(First Diogo arrives at the party, by car, with his "Sol de Inverno" co-star, Cláudia Vieira. Claudia has some difficulty in getting out of the car because her shoe gets stuck. Both start to say hello to the fans along the red carpet. Next, we can barely see Diogo running away from the red carpet, saying sorry to the fans that are calling him, because he can't stop. He has to go upstairs, to talk with Daniel Oliveira and his wife Andreia Rodrigues. Then in the video, Diogo is talking with them.)
Andreia Rodrigues (AR): You were a hit on the red carpet, but up here you continue to make an impression. Downstairs they all scream for you...
DM: Up here we have an insider's view, right? We can say goodbye to everyone, we can send kisses...
AR: Jesus... You're really a sexy-symbol...
DM: Oh, oh ... I'm nothing ... I'm nothing ... don't even know what you guys are talking about....
Daniel Oliveira (DO): Los Angeles, New York, Vilamoura (Algarve)... here you are, for now…
DM: Yes, [was in] Lisbon not even 2 hours ago...
AR: You're everywhere.
DM: Yes, we can say that I'm a little bit everywhere. That's true, that's true. But I couldn't fail to be here. It's a celebration of SIC, is an opportunity to visit you again, I missed it, I miss ... And it's a beautiful party, so why not?
DO: How do you manage handling it all with so many professional commitments?
DM: It's like pulling rabbits out of a magician's hat, as Luis de Matos (the Portuguese magician) [would say] ... it takes managing... must be managed ...
AR: Omnipotent, omnipresent ...
DO: You make it a point to keep that bond with Portugal?
DM: Bond to Portugal? No doubt. I'm Portuguese, I'm the proudest of my roots, and whatever else I can do for my country, I will always be in the forefront, no doubt.
DO: Look, and your style (clothes he is wearing)...
DM: My style? Don't embarrass me. Don't embarrass me. It's the style that was possible, okay? It's the style I can do to not be embarrassed, okay?
AR: Would you model? Do you want to take a little walk here? Do you?
DM: No. .. it's you who's good at that. Each person has their place.
AR: Thank you. Have fun.
DM: Thank you. A kiss. Enjoy it and until later.
Diogo talks about Festa de Verão
Diogo: (talking about greeting fans on the red carpet) It's a unique opportunity that we have, to be able to show people care and to reciprocate the affection to people. There is nothing more genuine than this. We go down the street and people are calling our names, and we see a smile on their faces. We should feel privileged by that. I felt so privileged.

We're equally privileged, Diogo! :)
Hope everyone is having a great summer!
