Wagner Moura said he asked a makeup artist to do a temporary tattoo of the national flag on his arm. The situation took an unexpected turn when Matt Damon spotted the tattoo. Confused by the design, the Hollywood actor asked: ‘Why do you have a hamburger tattoo?’. The unusual interpretation left the Brazilian momentarily without reaction.
Apparently, Damon saw elements in the composition of the Brazilian flag that resembled a sandwich: the green background was mistaken for a breadthe yellow diamond with a slice of cheeseand the central blue circle with the hamburger.
The Brazilian, initially surprised by the question, admitted to being a little disconcerted by the comparison. ‘I confess that I didn’t like this world very much’, he commented, revealing his initial discomfort with the situation. However, he quickly clarified the misunderstanding, proudly stating: ‘This is Brazil!’
