He was approved and participated in the film. In 2003, the actor returned to the media, but not because of his art: Rubens was caught stealing a woman’s purse on a bus on Avenida Niemeyer, Rio’s South Zone. At the time, he said that he had not eaten for several days. “I committed a crime and I deeply regret it. I was very young, I did this idiocy. When the comrade has a clean record, he can make a public contest. I can’t do it anymore”, he lamented. The actor even didn’t like the treatment he received from the producers of Cidade de Deus after the repercussion of the case and cut ties with everyone who participated in the award-winning Brazilian production. the production of Cidade de Deus shipped me to Belém do Pará and I was hospitalized for three years in a recovery center. How does an actor watch the Oscars for a movie he is one of the main actors in a rehab clinic? I saw on television the party taking place in a hotel here in Rio, everyone gathered, and I left. It was supposed to be the height of my life. I’ve closed myself off from everything, I don’t have contact with anyone else in the cast.” Do you want to stay up to date with the world of celebrities and receive the news directly on your Telegram?
