Vasco Coutinho admits that he was always a “strange” or “different” boy, but today he confesses to being “at peace” with the person he has become. From the silence and introspection experienced in a seminary in Rome, when he was very young, to the restless childhood in which he felt the target of insults from other boys, to a love that “went very wrong” and left him in depression, the journey was long and demanding.
“One day, on the way to my parents’ house, with the road empty, I thought: ‘Now I would turn the steering wheel and everything would end’”, he recalls when talking about the depression he had to face.
In this episode of High Definitionthe comedian leaves aside the character Aunt Bli, very popular among radio listeners, to speak openly about the path he took to personal affirmation and reconciliation with his sexuality.
In the conversation led by Daniel Oliveira, we talk not only about overcoming adversity and the importance of family support, but also about the transformative role of faith and creativity. Vasco reveals how theater and spirituality served as foundations to overcome moments of deep sadness.
At the end of the episode, after sharing his entire life story, he also leaves some advice for viewers and listeners: “I always apologize, even when I’m not right. Asking for forgiveness is constructive. We are always to blame for something.”
