RIP: Murillo Rezende

Photo # 1Photo # 2Photo # 3Photo # 4Photo # 5Photo # 6Photo # 7Photo # 8 Now it can be told! For the last two weeks Man Central was in a quandary after reading a news item written in Portuguese about Murilo Rezende and his alleged death. The initial reaction for Man Central and Murilo-believers was disbelief ... of course we don't want other blogs to beat us bringing the news... but we cautioned ourselves to keep the urge to write in its low decibels. We are talking about somebody's death here ... and Man Central being a responsible blog want to take it slow ... and sure.
Also ... Man Central was in its bargaining mood. We are still hoping, the news was a fluke and was just made up. We have been a Murilo supporter from the get-go. Lucas Malvacini was on top of Mr. Brazil totem pole ... he is untouchable ... but we really hoped Murillo could at least compete in Mr. International. I guess it was some cosmic design not to make him win. Imagine the sadness of his fans and his family if he won the right to compete in an international pageant and then weeks before the contest ... Mr. Death knocked on his door?
This will be Man Central's last feature of Murilo. This is a tribute to what he could attain ... and to what he could possibly gain in showbiz and modelling world. Although we could write more of him, but we want to give the guy a REST.
Let me end this feature by borrowing an epitaph from a Sam Milby-KC Concepcion movie which run something like this: ... "It is quite quick we fell in love with Murilo in one day ... now it take us forever to say goodbye ..."
Goodbye Murillo ... and may you REST IN PEACE!
