Soccer Star Cauã Reymond Admits He’s NOT a Big Fan? What?!

Actor Cauã Reymond and director Bruno Safadi at SXSW London event.
  • What’s Inside: Soccer drama creator spills secrets.
  • Will Brazil take the World Cup crown?
  • Why the actor is a martial artist first, soccer fan… maybe later.

Okay, so we just heard something WILD at SXSW London. Cauã Reymond, the big star of the new Globo soccer series ‘The Playoffs’, was there. You know, the guy who plays the soccer player. Well, guess what? He’s actually NOT that into soccer!

Yeah, we know. Mind. Blown. He’s more of a martial arts guy, apparently. He even let the director, Bruno Safadi, do most of the talking about Brazil winning the World Cup. The whole vibe was very chill, not the high-energy sports hype you might expect.

Director Safadi weighed in on Brazil’s chances. But Reymond? He was happy to leave the soccer talk to the experts. It’s a cool, unexpected look behind the scenes, right? It’s all about the drama, not just the game.

Our Take

We think it’s refreshing when people in the spotlight are honest about what they love. Cauã Reymond is an actor, and he’s clearly passionate about other things, like martial arts. It doesn’t make his performance in ‘The Playoffs’ any less interesting. It just shows there’s more to the story, both on and off screen.
