Richarlison’s look-alike wasn’t in the box on the same day as Tina and backtracks on the kiss: ‘It was a review’ | BBB

The mystery about which Richarlison stayed at the carnival with Tina, from “Big Brother Brasil 23”, is back. What is already known is that he was not really the player of the Selection, after all he was in England playing matches for Tottenham. He even tagged the doppelgangers on social media in search of a statement. The first he denied. The second suspect, Felipe Lima even recorded a video confirming the authorship of the kiss. But a thorough investigation of the former BBB’s agenda now shows that it was not possible for them to meet.

On social media, Felipe Lima, from the @sosiadopombo_oficial profile, was in the Camarote do Bar Brahma on the first day of the São Paulo samba school parade. At that time, Tina was in Rio de Janeiro. She participated in the Copacabana Palace carnival party and, later, checked out the samba schools in Rio at Marquês de Sapucaí. The former BBB only went to São Paulo in the parade of champions, on February 25th.

Sought after by the report, Felipe began the interview by saying that he had kissed the ex-BBB, but soon went back and confirmed that it was all just a “review”. He, who has been Richarlison’s lookalike since 2022, had already been noticed by the idol, but the follow on Instagram only came now after the player himself showed a photo of the cover enjoying the carnival in SP.

— I said it for the joke, for the review. It was funny because she said that, but everyone saw that the guy (Richarlison) wasn’t here in Brazil. Richarlison shared my photo, started following me and I messaged him. I thanked him and said it was all a review (synonymous with a joke). He still hasn’t answered me. But if my cell phone is ringing all day, imagine his? – the paulistano is amused.

the life of a doppelganger

Felipe Lima is 23 years old and worked in a supermarket until he dedicated himself fully to his career as a look-alike for Richarlison. With the profession, he has been earning money with advertising and VIP presence at events. Like his idol, he also plays football, “but far from having the ability with the ball and the quality that Richarlison has”, he says. The similarity between them has also made Felipe appear in several TV programs.

The man from São Paulo did not really kiss Tina, but said he had already used the player’s name to be with other women. But according to him, without fooling anyone.

“I even said to my ex-girlfriend: ‘You don’t have the official Richarlison, but if you want the double, I’m here.’ And we stayed together. I always say I’m the doppelganger, I don’t pretend to be Richarlison.
