Guga Coelho

Guga Coelho, yeah, the guy’s got Rio running through his veins. Born smack in the heart of the city in ’75, he’s never really been one to blend into the background. You can spot his energy from a mile away—whether he’s on stage, scribbling away at a script, or just vibing with the crowd. He’s an actor, sure, but honestly? He’s got that restless creator thing going on, always bouncing from one idea to the next. His film “Ódiquê?” from 2004—man, that one’s a trip. It’s not your typical movie, trust me. There’s this whole raw, chaotic vibe, kind of like life in Rio itself. Guga’s performances? They’re not polished and prim, but messy and real. You can tell he pours a little bit of his own soul into every role. Then you fast-forward and catch him in “We've Never Been So Modern” (2022). He’s still got that edge, but you can see the wisdom that comes from years in the game—less wild, maybe, but deeper. And “A Saga da Alma de um Poeta” (2015)? That title says it all. The guy’s always been a sucker for stories that dig under the surface, peeling back the shiny layers to get at the gritty stuff underneath. Guga’s work feels like overhearing someone’s late-night confession—raw, unfiltered, and just a little bit electric. There’s no mistaking it: whatever Guga does, he leaves a mark that’s all his own.
