Gabriel Santana was confirmed today in the BBB 23 box.The Sao Pauloborn actor began acting in commercials at the age of 10.
Who is Gabriel Santana, BBB 23 contestant?
At Globo, Gabriel also appeared in the series Carcereiros (2017), in Malhação: Toda Forma de Amar (2019) and did his most recent work as Renato in the remake of Pantanal (2022).
At the age of 14 he joined the cast of Chiquititas with the character Felipe Tavares, Mosca. On the soap opera, he was Mili’s (Giovanna Grigio) romantic partner and Pata’s (Julia Olliver) brother.
Gabriel has a degree in performing arts. “I’m very proud of my path,” he says of his work. He sees himself not only as an actor, but as an artist in a broader sense.” He also tried his hand at a musical career with the band Z4, but the project was put on hiatus in 2018.
“For having written a lot, he also considers himself a poet and wants to be a screenwriter. He dares to sing, dance and play the guitar,” added Gabriel.

In October last year, he posted a video on social media explaining his vote for Lula: “Let it be clear that I have never voted for Bolsonaro and I would never vote. I absolutely oppose everything he preached and did in his administration.”
In conversation with syringes, said Gabriel, he works for love. “I’m trying to do my best and that’s what I want. I don’t think about how a project will change my life, I do it for love.”
Of course I have to support myself, I’m not going to be a hypocrite, I have to support myself because an artist has to survive, but I do it with a lot of love, a lot of affection. So if Pantanal changes my career I will be very happy to project myself there for other jobs but if not also I will be very happy with the process I am going through.
The São Paulo man, who claims to be bisexual, said he would be disappointed if he didn’t kiss anyone on BBB 23. “It’s much more than just entertainment,” he says.
