Gero Camilo (born Paulo Rogério da Silva[1] on December 18, 1970) is a Brazilian actor, dramatist, singer-songwriter and poet.[3][4] A descendant of Indigenous, African, Portuguese, and Dutch people, he was born in Fortaleza, Ceará from parents of Acopiara.[5] He was a militant of Liberation theology in Ceará,[1] where he started to act in amateur theater when he was 19 years old. In 1994, he entered the School of Dramatic Art of University of São Paulo,[1] acting on university productions, and concluded the course four years later.[6]
In March 2022, he was cast as Didi, a character created and originally played by Renato Aragão, in the upcoming film Mussum: O Filmis, about the comedian who died in 1994.[7]
Personal life
He is openly gay and some of his most famous characters have ties to the LGBT community, such as Miss Pirangi from the 2012 TV Globo's telenovela Gabriela (which is a remake of the 1975 soap opera of the same name).[2]
