Alexandre da Silva

Sometimes people say things to me that I don’t fully understand. I hear it and I make a mental note to during my live try to understand the other person’s point of view. And this happened with Alexandre da Silva. Alexandre da Silva is a very good looking Portuguese actor that also owns it’s own sports brand along with a partner Susana Gateira (www.susanagateirashop.com) (very nice clothing by the way).

Around 4 years ago I was waiting in the hairdresser for my turn and I started to look around in these very high IQ gossip magazines. In one of them there was an interview with Alexandre. He had a play in Casino do Estoril theatre at that time (so nice, it was about two couples but unfortunately I can’t remember the name) and he talked about his work plans and personal life. Now comes the interesting part: he says that he goes to the gym everyday! That exercising is body is for him as natural as brushing his teethes or taking a bath everyday. At the time I must confess I looked puzzled. Everyday? But I didn’t think, “oh this guy is a freak” or anything like that. I simply could not understand how someone could feel like that. Will I ever feel the same way? Make mental note! And now, after 4 years (or is it 5?) here I am, feeling all weird if I don’t go to the gym. Even if it is just for a little bit to run just 3 km or 30 min abs and back. Anything is better than nothing. My body is actually craving for exercise. Who would have guessed? Alexandre, sweetie, you were absolutely right!
