Brazilian stars and personalities

High-flying sportsmen

We can't think of Brazilian stars without thinking of going from game to sport, and more specifically to football. Personalities such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar or Pelé have left an unerasable imprint. They have established themselves like modern heroes, like gods of legendary balls. Their face is known by all and their exploits have made the tour of the planet, transported by various forms of the media. In the collective image, their name is inseparable and carved to ever be on the seal of their original, Brazil. Mention one of them whilst on your stay in Brazil , you will no doubt make friends.

Football however isn't the only sport to have cult figures. The world of Formula 1 can have the pride of having one of the high flying Brazilians, evidently being the Ayrton Senna on whom we no longer count the prowess in the largest circuits of the world.

Not forgetting, to finish this general overview, tennis, where Gustavo Kuerten is known as a exceptional player and brings glory to his nation.

And haphazardly

The sectors where the Brazilian stars shine are so vast and eclectic that the selection becomes difficult. So we also should mention at random some unmissable personalities. In the political domain, Marina Silva, old environmental visitor, showing inseparable in the fight for the preservation of the Amazon rainforest. Alex Atala is established as the head of Brazilian gastronomy, internationally recognised. Gisèle Bundchen is the top model, icon of national beauty, who has walked for the greats, like Chanel or Dior. Ivo Patanguy is the most famous plastic surgeon there is, notably for his operations on a number of impressive celebrities.

We should also mention, singer and composer Caetano Veloso, the actor Rodrigo Santoro or even the musicians Sergio Mendes and Gilberto Gil.
