The actor Vincent MartellaGreg from the series Everybody hates Chris, is close — very close — to reaching 200,000 likes on a photo on Instagram. Why? He instigated Brazilian fans, perhaps the most enthusiastic about the series in the world.
In the image, he wears a simple shirt with an inscription in Portuguese. “I’m famous in Brazil.” It was enough for Brazilians to flood the post with comments, which at the time of publishing this text already exceed 33 thousand.
“In Brazil, nobody hates Greg,” commented a user identified as By Pamella. “Man, Brazil is so into you,” wrote Lucas Nunes, in reference to one of the character’s lines.
Another user, however, remembered the protagonist of the series, played by Tyler James Williams. “Congratulations for not being like your old work colleague. We have this way of joking, but with affection. But each one, thanks Chris and Greg”, said Reginaldo Silva lightly.
This is because Tyler was irritated in the past by fans from Brazil who made avalanches of comments in Portuguese on his Instagram, mentioning catchphrases and emblematic phrases from the program — to the absolute confusion of the actor, who didn’t understand what they were saying. In 2019, the wave even reached the girlfriend of Chris’s interpreter.
In the same year, however, he finally joined in the fun. after a fast food chain hired him for a commercial in Brazil.

This wasn’t the first time that Chris’s best friend’s interpreter went viral in Brazil. In 2022, a photo of him without a shirt caused a stir on the Brazilian internet and provoked a response from the actor: “Hi, Brazil, look how hot I am”, joked the artist in a tweet with the click.
