• “Three yeses”: Leonardo warns after Lorena begins a romance with Joquinha

– One of the things I talked about with the writers and directors was that I didn’t want to build Vivian as if she was hiding something from Leonardo. When she felt confident and thought she could trust him, she talked about her story, which she was very proud of. I had the opportunity to collaborate. The text did not arrive this way. I have been able to color through my experience and perspective as a trans person. Luiz Henrique, every time he sees something that I might find more delicate and sensitive, he asks me. I had a lot of listening and freedom in writing the script as well. In the case of this scene, I gave it a general color. I sent it to Luiz, who sent it to Aguinaldo, and he approved it. For example, in the part where you say “In addition to Vivian, the pharmacist, I am also a transgender woman,” you included data. She also suggested that he say, “I didn’t cheat on you.” He explains that it was a joint construction.

The situation that the character went through is a bit like a story from Gabriella’s life:

— My first boyfriend didn’t know I was transgender. I told him because things were getting more intense. At first, he wondered why I didn’t tell him earlier. I said I didn’t feel right telling everyone, but since I was being serious, I felt comfortable. It was similar, and that’s what I took to the character as well. But that same night he understood and wanted to stay with me. He has never had a relationship with a trans person. We were together for four years. He was an important person in my life, my first boyfriend, the first man I lived with. Today he is my bodyguard, I helped him in the general exam. It was a very beautiful story, different from Vivian’s. I have never encountered this same scene. It’s interesting because it shows that no matter how much we transform, we won’t always have the same experience.

Trans actresses and actresses often ask for roles in which their condition is not a central issue. In “Três Graças”, the theme will appear throughout the plot, but for Gabriela, there is a difference:

– When Guilherme Joby (Casting Director) He called me and said, “Gabe, the character is like you, and it’s very important to the plot. We’ll address that issue, but this isn’t the character’s plot.” He actually brought this to me, and during construction, I contributed in my own way, arguing that if transphobia occurred, the problem would not be solved by Vivian. On the square in Baghdad (Where he calls her by her dead name, used before gender transition)For example, the embarrassment falls on the person who committed it. Vivian graduated big. She never leaves suffering, crying and being bad. She returns the discomfort. Xama and I even talked before, and I said, “Let’s do it. We can teach people like this. They won’t start respecting you overnight. If he calls her by her dead name, let’s keep it, because the answer I’ll give will be interesting.” It was a success, and Vivian finished her work there again. That’s what’s interesting about this new take on the character. It has a parallel story, the plot does not only revolve around this case. In relationships with other characters, with the group that will carry out the expropriation, the topic never comes up. We can see the humanity of the character there. She is out of her element. Just like me, in this high-profile moment, I don’t want to be mentioned as a trans actress. Vivian is trans, but being trans does not define the woman she is. Gabriella is transgender, but that does not define the woman I am.

She bets that there are still many conflicts to come for Vivian and Leonardo.

-I’m eager to know. Because obviously they tend to be okay, but they weren’t for us. There’s not a moment where they talk about what that would be like, about Leonardo’s redemption. From what we have already recorded, we are starting to get a trend. I think his struggles with his father and his family and his struggles with himself will still be there, as well as Vivian’s struggles with herself. “I have a lot of hope,” says the actress, who loves to do scenes of characters getting married and adopting a child. It’s an important sight to see as well. This modification, Leonardo, has access to information. We see Leonardo as ignorant. If he wants to fight for Vivian, he has to ask for help, get information, and find his way. Let him understand that Vivian is just another woman like so many other women, and coincidentally, a transsexual.

Speaking about her son, Gabriella says that her biggest dream is to become a mother.

-I was born to be a mother, and I can’t wait. My term is 35 years. I am already 32 years old. My mother wanted to have my son. You made this wish, and it affected me greatly. We cried, we became emotional. But she suffers from high blood pressure (He is 55 years old)This makes pregnancy risky. I would never put my mother in danger. My sister is the one who will do this (Gabrielli, 34)who suggested being my surrogate mother. I’m really happy. I want to pause my life to enjoy every moment, not just during pregnancy, but in the baby’s first years. I also plan to adopt, she says. She has another sister, who is 42, and has five nephews.

Gabriella is currently dating Ibojokan Ikaru, who participated in the 2022 edition of “No Limits”. She guarantees that, even if she is single at 35 years old, she will try to make her wish come true:

-He also wants to be a father. We celebrated one year together in November. Demos match On Tinder (relations application) In 2017, but we did not meet. Years have passed. In 2022, he appeared in the movie “Renegade Archangel”. (Series of globoplay where you work) We met again, but I was dating at the time. There was nothing. I later ended that relationship and traveled to El Salvador, and he was going there too. We have reconnected. Within a week he asked me to be his girlfriend. I’m very emotional, I accepted. We’ve been together ever since.
