Since debuting with the trilogy The Girl Who Killed Her Parentsproduced by Prime Video, the actor Leonardo Bittencourt (29) has attracted the attention of the public at home. Interpreter of Daniel Cravinhos (42), ex-boyfriend of Susanne von Richthofen (40), he defends the ‘true crime’ genre, which shows the behind-the-scenes of famous crimes.

In an interview with the website Aventuras na História, Leonardo stated that Brazilians are used to the narrative of the good guy and the villain, but that this point of view is different from real life.

“The objective of telling this story is to be able to bring debate about what happened in that crime, to understand that it is not an isolated case and how we can prevent these mistakes from being repeated in society. Most people even understand the The noise that exists on the internet comes from this fear of glamorizing the protagonist.”he argued.

The actor believes that many people still believe in the possibility of Suzane being placed as a victim or heroine of the story, but he guarantees that the film does not take great care in focusing on the details of the crime.

“There is a fear that Suzane, in some way, will be treated as a heroine and anyone who watches any minute of the film will understand that this does not happen. We show the reality, on the contrary, there is no type of aggrandizement of the act”he declares.

Still during the interview, Leonardo, who also acted in the series Second callfrom TV Globo, said he studied hard to display on screen a different trait of Daniel Cravinhos’ personality, which few people really know.

“We had a lot of support from this information, and it was from them that I started to create this character, who despite being in people’s imagination, the Cravinhos brothers, didn’t have as much knowledge about what happened before the crime. So, I had this responsibility to go through and tell this story”.
