At 25, Larissa Manoela, Klara Castanho, Nobru and Menina Veneno balance fame and reality

“25 is the year you get everything you want, when you realize you have everything you wanted.” It was with this sentence, taken from an application popular among Generation Z, that I woke up on my 25th birthday. As we move closer and closer to 30, “the age of success,” as De Repente 30 (2004) puts it – and a decade away from 15 – 25 is an important milestone.

Age is full of canon moments. Marriage, children, career growth, new beginnings or all stages together, and it all seeks the balance between being chronically online and enjoying life off-screen. It’s no different for celebrities reaching their first quarter century.

Klara Castanho turned 25 in October and sees her maturity with the certainty that there is plenty to live for. Winner of the best actress prize at the Rio Film Festival for #SalveRosa, she rediscovers herself every year. “We mature, life teaches us and we evolve. »

Lover of birthdays, Larissa Manoela will turn 25 in December. On the air of Éta Mundo Melhor! (Globo), the actress feels fulfilled. “(I feel) a lot of gratitude for having achieved what I always dreamed of: being a free woman, responsible for my decisions and my choices,” she emphasizes, who is celebrating 20 years of career and three alongside her colleague André Luiz Frambach (28 years old).

Anna Luiza Chagas, known as Menina Veneno, aims to be a “disinfluencer” for her more than 3 million followers. Although she doesn’t see online exposure as a problem, she says that in times of overload, she seeks balance. “I always like to take days for myself, you know?”

And even with all the questions and discoveries that 25 brings, streamer Bruno Goes, known as Nobru, is optimistic about what age has in store. “(I want) to continue dreaming big, but with my feet on the ground and valuing the path here,” adds the professional Free Fire player and businessman.

Below, the four share more details about what they’re looking forward to from their 25th birthday, including achievements, dreams and hope. Check out edited excerpts from the interviews.

KLARA CASTANHO

Klara, you turned 25 at the beginning of October. How is this new cycle going?

I always like to think that the cycle that begins is the best one to live through. I started my 25th by launching #SalveRosa, there was an award at the Rio Festival, I’m modifying my work… so I’m very happy with what starts this year.

How does it feel to see how much you’ve accomplished in your first quarter century?

It’s been 24 years of work, and I feel with each passing year that I can rediscover myself and reinvent my path. It’s been many, many years on the road and yet I’m still very young.

You mentioned that you already have over two decades of work. What do you expect for the future?

I feel fulfilled to be able to solidify myself in the profession that makes me so happy, in line with my values, with what I believe in and with passion. It’s only the beginning, but I’ve already come a long way with a lot of study and dedication.

LARISSA MANOELA

Larissa, you will be old in December. What do you think the new year will be like, guys?

I love celebrating life and celebrating my birthday. I’ve been an adult for a few years now, but I feel like turning 25 is going to bring more questions…thinking more about what I want for the future and, in my case, being proud of who I once was.

How important is it to value the past right now?

It will be 10 years since I was 15, but the teenager and child that I was is still so alive in me that it feels like something close. It doesn’t turn off. This is my life, my story, it’s never less of a day, but one more to live.

This celebration comes with an important milestone in your career!

With my 25 years, I have 20 years of career. (I feel) a lot of gratitude for having achieved today what I always dreamed of: being a free woman, owner of my decisions and my choices. At 25, she is already married and very fulfilled personally and professionally.

How would you summarize the feeling you had when the 25th arrived?

At the turn of a cycle, I always end up reflecting on the year I’ve had, setting new goals and dreaming more. The cycle of life is so fast that we must enjoy what we have today and celebrate what lies ahead. I feel a lot of gratitude and pride for what I have been and what I have become.

POISON GIRL

You will be 25 years old at the start of 2026. What are you waiting for for the new cycle?

I see it with great optimism and hope. Wow, I can’t believe everything I’ve experienced and achieved. I’ll be honest, I swore I was 50 already. I’ve had the opportunity to do so many things that I already feel fulfilled.

The Internet is linked to your career. How to “measure” exposure?

Sometimes I travel, I go to my grandmother’s house or even I stay quietly at home, avoiding using my cell phone… I take a day or two off. But I don’t really have a problem with exposure. I like to show my face to my audience, say something here and there. When I feel overwhelmed, I stop.

How does it feel to see how much you’ve accomplished in your career, before you’re even 25?

I cry just by answering (laughs). Sometimes I forget everything I’ve accomplished and I’m shocked to remember it. I made the most impossible dreams come true, not only the materials, but the people I met, all of this is very important in my journey. I just have to thank everyone who is a part of it. I wouldn’t be here without you.

NOBRU

You are counting down to 25 years! How does it feel?

It’s crazy to think that it’s already been 25 years (laughs). It goes by very quickly. I look back and see how much I have matured. As a person, professionally and even in the simplest things in life.

What do you expect from this new moment?

This new cycle is more about balance, about understanding what really matters. Continue to dream big, but keep your feet on the ground, pursue your achievements and value the journey you have taken here.

What’s it like to look back at your career and see how much you’ve already accomplished, before you’re even 25?

It’s a mixture of gratitude and surprise. When I started, I never imagined that so much would happen in such a short time. I still have a lot to do and a lot of dreams to come true. But seeing how much God has already blessed my journey is something that moves me.
