Paulo Gustavo Amaral Monteiro de Barros (30 October 1978 – 4 May 2021),[1] commonly known as Paulo Gustavo, was a Brazilian actor, comedian, director, screenwriter, and presenter.[2]
He became known for the play Minha Mãe é uma Peça, which, in 2013, became a feature film. It became the most watched film of the year in Brazil,[3] and in 2015, it was published as a book by the publisher Objetiva. Due to the huge success of critics and audiences, it was followed by two sequels, Minha Mãe é uma Peça 2 in 2016, and Minha Mãe é uma Peça 3 in 2019.[4]
Nominated for the Shell Award for Best Actor, Paulo Gustavo graduated from the Casa das Artes de Laranjeiras (CAL) in early 2005,[5] together with Fábio Porchat, Marcus Majella, among others.
