Fernanda Torres on Wanting to Play a Bond Villain and Not Controlling Brazil’s ‘I’m Still Here’ Fans on Social Media: ‘They Are Doing It on Their Own’


Fernanda Torres talks "I'm Still Here" and wants to be a James Bond villain.

Torres’ portrayal of Eunice Paiva, a mother who spent decades searching for justice after the disappearance of her husband during Brazil’s military dictatorship, has resonated with audiences and critics alike. On this episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Torres reflects on the film’s emotional impact, the overwhelming support from Brazil, her mother Fernanda Montenegro’s Oscar history, and her unexpected Hollywood dreams — including a very specific James Bond villain role. In addition, the roundtable discusses the results of the PGA, DGA and frontrunner status of Sean Baker’s “Anora” and what that could mean for the upcoming BAFTA and SAG Awards ceremonies.
