also for Gabriel Garko the semifinal of Dancing with the Stars 2022, broadcast on Friday, December 2, was full of emotions. If Rosanna Banfi got emotional when talking about her mother who suffers from Alzheimer’s, the actor couldn’t hold back the tears when talking about the missing father.
For this week’s work, Gabriel Garko chose to tell the moment of his father’s loss with dance steps. A disappearance that left the dancer and actor in deep pain because of the relationship that has always linked him to him. A private relationship, which was not based on strong displays of affection and public praise, but on mutual respect and support that were never fully declared:
My father was a somewhat atypical father, he never told me not to be an actor, he never cut my wings. It was he who helped me, gave me money, pleased him and I am very happy about that. I realized that he had deep respect and esteem for me, although he never told me.
After a story with his voice breaking with emotion, Gabriel Garko introduced himself along with his adventure companion Giada Lini. For the first time, the dancer and actor sang, moving the spectators. During the performance there was a moment with some posters dedicated to the public, which read: 🇧🇷Sorry dad if we weren’t there with you that day… I dedicate this moment to all those who died in deep solitude”. With these messages, the contestant thus revealed that he was not present at the time of his father’s death and therefore also wanted to dedicate it to all those who were in the same situation as him.
