Joaquim de Almeida, 65, was talking about the representatives of the new generation when he went down and told the news. “I would say Daniela Melchior is the most fun actor ever. I’ve been with her now in Furious Speed. She has the lead role, I do the same thing as … but I can’t talk about it, in and above that it’s forbidden,” he said on Channel 4 TVI’s “Goucha”.
In 2011, the Portuguese actor played Hernan Reyes, a drug lord who took over the slums of Rio de Janeiro in the movie Furious Speed 5. Correio da Manhã tried to contact Joaquim de Almeida, but was not available to make statements because he was recording in Brussels, Belgium.
Some footage of Fast X, the tenth film in the saga starring Vin Diesel, was set in Portugal. After going through Vila Real and Viseu, registrations are taking place in Cacilhas, in the municipality of Almada, until tomorrow. Then they head to Pedrógão Grande, in Leiria, where they will stay until August 3.
‘It’s going to be epic’
Although I can’t say much about her character, 25-year-old Daniela Melchior has confirmed that Fast X “is going to be epic.” Because of some scenes, the Portuguese artist revealed that she has a duo of French actress Morgan Beaujoli.
