How the actors and actresses of the popular Brazilian TV series “Clone” transformed (16 photos)

The project was released 21 years ago. Then he touched on extremely important and sensitive topics that were of interest to many viewers: the peculiarities of Muslim life, forbidden love, disagreements between parents and children, as well as cloning. Where would we be without him? The series was shown in more than 90 countries, and received high ratings everywhere.





In the early 2000s, the Brazilian telenovela “Clone” thundered literally everywhere. Spectators watched with keen interest the development of the relationship between the beautiful Jade and her lover Lucas, who were constantly getting in the way. Despite the fact that the television series lasted only a year, it is still remembered with incredible reverence today. And this is not surprising.

We invite you to look at photos of your favorite actors and evaluate how much they have changed over the years.

Said (Dalton Vig)



Lucas, Diogo, Leo (Murilo Benicio)





Murilo Benicio is a real hard worker, because he managed to play three roles in the series at once - the Ferras twins and the clone Leo himself.

Yvette (Vera Fisher)



Gloria Perez's script has long been considered not very successful. The directors, one after another, refused to film the series (at that time they simply did not know what they were refusing). Only Jaime Monjardim appreciated Gloria's story and got to work.

Jade (Giovanna Antonelli)



Latiffa (Leticia Sabatella)



The series "Clone" could have been called completely differently. They tried on many names for it. The creators wanted to focus on the “Second Chance” and “Start Over” options.

Shandi (Marcellus Novais)



Nazira (Eliane Giardini)



It was especially difficult for the stars who played the roles of Muslims to act. They had to completely immerse themselves in an unfamiliar culture. The actors persistently learned the language, passages from the Koran and tried to reproduce facial expressions and gestures characteristic of people of this religion.

Alicinha (Christiana Oliveira)



Rania (Nivea Stellmann)



The series was filmed not only in Brazil, but also in Morocco, as well as in the Sahara Desert. The last location was extremely difficult for the film crew. Due to high temperatures, the actors' makeup deteriorated, and equipment constantly broke down.
