Caldeirão showed this Saturday (27) a statement from the actor Oberdan Junior, who played Xande in A Gata Comeu (1985). The actor appeared with a look that Lúcio Mauro Filho, one of his closest friends and part of the cast of TV Teca, described as “grandpa”. “It was a wonderful time,” he remembers.

Natália Lage and Ana Beatriz Nogueira, who were last in the cast of Um Lugar ao Sol (2021), faced each other in the game of TV memory. They had to mention the name of the club that brought together the children of the series with Nuno Leal Maia and Christiane Torloni.

With the help of Lúcio Mauro, Natália was right when she named the group “Clube dos Curumins”. Marcos Mion then called a VT to show how one of the child actors was doing these days.

“It is very easy for me to talk about A Gata Comeu because it was a wonderful time. I miss her a lot because it was fun as well as work. To this day I am very good friends and have many children who were part of the club,” said Oberdan.

The interpreter assured that, despite the changes, he is still recognized by fans of the soap opera to this day. “I'm here in Buenos Aires and this week they recognized me as Xande,” he said.

Lúcio Mauro also said that his colleague is the godfather of his first son, Antônio Bento, 19 years old:

It's really crazy because he's wearing that grandpa look now, and he was the most famous kid in Brazil in the 80s, did a great job, and is the godfather of my first child, even in disguise, there's no way they'll remember you to Xandinho

Oberdan began working on television as a child in the soap opera Coração Alado (1980). He has edited several series including Amor com Amor Se Paga (1984), A Gata Comeu on Globo; As Pupilas do Senhor Rector (1994), on SBT; and Bela, a Feia (2009), on record.

The artist's last role was Dantas in the series Lúcia McCartney, produced and shown by GNT between November 2016 and January 2017.
