Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ouro Verde was part of a wave of Portuguese-Brazilian co-productions designed to compete with dominant Mexican and Turkish telenovelas in the global market.
Diogo Morgado, already famous as 'Hot Jesus' in The Bible miniseries, reportedly gained 15kg of muscle and studied agribusiness executives to physically transform for the older Jorge Monforte.
