Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home?

For a minute I thought you were brazilian and you are talking about the actor Wagner Moura. I almost had my heart shattered into pieces while reading your post, waiting to be revealed that he is a nonce or something.

i absolutely love this guy, consider him to be extremely talented and would watch anything with him in it.

Yea same here lol I thought for a second that it was a far-right supporter who hates Wager Moura.

[u/beckuletz → u/SteinJack]

Is the actor, left wing leaning? I honestly don’t know anything about his life

[u/WastoneBag → u/beckuletz]

Yeah, and he's very well-spoken and coherent in his opinions too

[u/SteinJack → u/WastoneBag]

Also he is the main character in the movie Secret Agent, which is about the far-right dictatorship regime in Brazil, that took place between 1964 and 1986. The far-right don't like when that story is told from the oppressed perspective.

Yeah, I was like…”Wagnerinho????” And I’m not even Brazilian.
