Brazilian actor Wagner Moura, who plays Pablo Escobar on the Netflix original series “Narcos,” stopped by the set of “Chelsea” this week to talk about his character’s ordeal in the upcoming season of the show.
“It’s a really cool season,” Moura told Chelsea Handler. “It’s all about Pablo [Escobar] on the run, because the first season covers about 10 years of Pablo’s life. From the first day he sees cocaine for the first time to the day he escapes from La Catedral.”
He continued, “So, it’s kind of 10 years, and now, it’s a very sh…it’s from the day Pablo escaped to his death.”
That’s right! Netflix is killing the famous Colombian drug lord. – Sorry fans!
“If you go to Google, you kind of can see what happens to Pablo,” the 39-year-old star said after revealing his role’s death without a spoiler warning.
Later on the episode, the Huffington Post’s editor, Arianna Huffington, who immediately started praising the actor, joined Handler and Moura.
“You are a major hero in Brazil,” Huffington told Moura. “Including among Huff Post editors.”
Moura proceeded to thank Huffington for having reporters covering the news in Brazil, especially with everything that is going on in the country currently.
“All the press, all the coverage that the press is doing about what’s going on in Brazil now, is so limited,” he confessed. “The Brazilian press is totally controlled by five families, so things like the Huffington Post [help].”
Before ending the interview, Handler asked Wagner if he thought President Dilma Rousseff would be removed from office. He replied, “I don’t think he is a good President, I didn’t vote for her. I’ve been criticizing her since 2014, but what’s going on there in Brazil is something really close to a coup d’etat.”
