• He outlines ongoing projects that include a sold-out stand-up show, corporate gigs, the Papagaio Falante podcast, advertising work and his Mallandritos snacks brand.
• He says he plans to return to television next year with Porta dos Desesperados on SBT as the format turns 40.
• He describes strict health routines driven by a fear of death and his family history, and he credits hormone therapy and medications for maintaining an active sex life with partner Danielly Borges.
