Xuxa will star in the Disney series
Xuxa has agreed several projects with streaming platforms and is already analyzing the first roles of the fiction series that Globoplay is developing based on her life. The idea came from her, Patrícia Corso and Clara Peltier. Directed by Dani de Carlo.
“I’ve read the things they’re sending me. Dani, the director, is Argentinian and lives in Los Angeles, USA. The others are from São Paulo. The next step is to see who will play the roles A, B, C and D … But I think (the series) should come out only in 2024 says the presenter.
She is now dedicated to recording a production for Disney, “Tarã”. After ten days of work in Acre, Xuxa will shoot scenes in the Southeast, in studios and on a farm in São Paulo. Star of films that have had success with children, including ‘Super Xuxa contra o bass astral’ (1988) and ‘Crystal Moon’ (1990), comments on her return to acting after 13 years:
“I don’t interpret anything. I’m joking (laughs). I’m the only person who doesn’t sing on my own records, act in movies and break records that everyone already knows. I think this series will take me to places I wouldn’t do if I didn’t act: talk about nature, about protecting the environment. The platform has given me the opportunity to present a nice message, to talk about everything around us. If I were to speak, if I were to do a book, I don’t think I would reach the public in the same way that I did with this series. In the story I am a character who is part of an ancient tribe. Clã das Nuvens is inspired by people who lived in Peru, there were white people (blonde and red hair). In the script there is also the tribe of the Nine Moons. Me and an indigenous person of this tribe fell in love. And my character will have a daughter. She will be important to these clans that once fought. There’s teenage love, lots of scenes in nature… And while they’ve looked for real references dealing with Amazon deforestation, they emphasize that it’s a fiction. Serious issues are dealt with in a playful manner.

The 59yearold from Rio Grande do Sul explains that she has studied what the story covers but can make mistakes behind the scenes of the production as dealing with indigenous people involves discussions of politically correct terms:
“Do you think I’ll make it and not use wrong expressions?” Of course I will. But I will learn. That is why we are here. I’m afraid of making a mistake in everything. People learn to try to communicate in harmony with everyone. I’m from the 1980’s when anything was allowed. On TV, for example, it was normal. I’ll give you an example: I recorded a call on Globo with Grande Otelo and went blackface. They painted me black and he sang to me, I to him, jokingly. No one thought of doing it to make fun of anyone. Even he loved it. Today we already know that this hurts some people. And if it hurts, we shouldn’t do it. There are things I have done in the past out of ignorance, thinking it was normal. Not long ago I made false statements and apologized to people (Xuxa is referencing the episode where she suggested that drugs should be tested on inmates). It’s not ugly to assume you’re wrong. Ugly says “I made a mistake but ok I’ll apologize”. I was wrong, I know I was wrong and I will be wrong again. I just want to make fewer and fewer mistakes and hold the hand of those who like me and are willing to help me.

Last Monday (1), Xuxa spoke out in Instagram comments on the site against the racism suffered by Giovanna Ewbank and Bruno Gagliasso’s children. It is not the first time that she has published refusal statements on sensitive issues. The presenter explains that whenever she can, she takes a stand and corrects those who make mistakes:
— In the moment we live in, there are still people who say: “It’s boring, we can’t say anything”. I do not agree with you. It’s annoying that we don’t want to learn how to communicate. There is a lot for us to read and learn to make fewer and fewer mistakes. It’s annoying that we keep making mistakes. These days I saw a person talking about early childhood education. There are people who think hitting a child is education. I get tired of seeing people using this. I want to step up whenever you don’t. Then there are parents who say, “I’ll bring up the way I want to.” Yes, but by force no.
Dialogue was what reigned and is still present in the relationship between Xuxa and her daughter Sasha, for example. According to Xuxa, the financial blow suffered by the model and her husband, singer João Figueiredo, was present in their conversations. But because of the fame and the impact of statements, they made a deal. The mother explains:
“We talk about all sorts of topics. But I don’t talk (publicly) about her life. When people ask about my specifics, she says, “Look, talk to my mom.” We respect each other very much. It is along with the word “love”. I show her I love her by respecting her space. And she respects mine.
