Paulo César de Campos Velho, better known as Paulo César Pereio (19 October 1940 – 12 May 2024), was a Brazilian actor.[1]
Pereio was known for being an ardent atheist and communist who was heavily opposed to the statue of Christ the Redeemer, stating that it violates Brazil's secular constitution and ruins the beauty of the mountain. From the late 20th century he gathered signatures for its removal.[2]
Pereio died on 12 May 2024, at the age of 83.[3]
