Luis Ricardo, presenter who embodied the clown Bozo in the 80s, found the child crying on the character’s lap in a classic photo. This image went viral in recent years and became a meme on the internet. This Sunday (4), the animator shared a photo of the reunion with the boy in the photo, now an adult, at a pharmacy.

In the selfie, Luis Ricardo shows the picture taken on his cell phone more than three decades ago, posing with a man, this time smiling next to the presenter.
“Really??? Lots of coincidences… This meeting was very special… Before he cried, today it was just a smile… Another story to tell!” Luis Ricardo wrote in the caption. It wasn’t long before Luis and Bozo’s fans commented on the meeting of the millions.
“I envy this guy! I’d settle for a nomakeup photo, but there’s no use making a bell because I don’t know where to cut your hair,” said one admirer. “In 1989 I went to Bozo’s show in Vila Guilherme. It was very hot in the studio but it was sensational. You were my favorite bozo. Thank you for everything and for making my childhood happier,” another person recalled. “
Today, at the age of 60, Luis Ricardo continues to gather a legion of orphaned Bozo clown fans. The host impersonated the character between 1982 and 1990 during SBT’s eponymous show.
Besides the animator, other actors also played the character, such as Wandeko Pipoka, the first bozo, and Arlindo Barreto, whose life was the inspiration for the film Bingo: o Rei das Manhãs (2017).
