Wagner Moura shared an exciting revelation regarding his close friend, Lázaro Ramos, who he met over thirty years ago. Moura disclosed that Ramos will be attending the 2026 Oscars to support him as he competes for Best Actor for his role in “O Agente Secreto.” The film, directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, is also in the running for Best Picture and Best International Feature Film.
Moura fondly recounted the moment they first met, stating, “Lázaro is my brother. I met him when I was 18 and he was just 16. I saw him on stage in Salvador and couldn’t take my eyes off him. It was surreal because I didn’t know him. I went backstage not knowing what to say. I just told him, ‘I want to be your friend, can we be friends?’ And he said, ‘Yes, let’s be friends.’” This heartfelt anecdote emphasizes not only their long-standing friendship but also the significance of their bond as they prepare for this prestigious event together.
The upcoming Oscars represent an important milestone for both actors, showcasing their talent and dedication to the craft. With their shared history and mutual respect, the event is set to be a memorable occasion for Moura, supported by his lifelong friend Ramos.
