Rafael Cardoso rehabilitation and recovery

Overview

Brazilian actor Rafael Cardoso has begun returning to professional life following a period of rehabilitation for chemical dependency and alcoholism. After voluntarily entering a clinic in June to address a relapse, Cardoso shared that he had “lost control of my life” and that “everything is clearer” following his treatment.

Following his discharge, Cardoso has focused on his personal life and family. He has shared reflections on the importance of fatherhood, noting that “paternity taught me that time has another value when it is measured in presence.” He has also emphasized that honesty serves as the “pillar” of his recovery process.

Cardoso has recently resumed work in Rio de Janeiro, where he was seen filming a music video at Praia Vermelha. This marks his return to professional activities after being away from television since 2023. He is also currently returning to television via reruns of the production “Além do Tempo.”

Regarding his recovery journey, the 40-year-old actor recently celebrated 98 days of sobriety from drugs and alcohol. He has reflected on the difficulty of personal transformation, noting that “change hurts” because it requires leaving old versions of oneself behind. Additionally, Cardoso has showcased a physical transformation through an intense bodybuilding routine and is in the process of moving to a new residence.

On the legal front, Cardoso recently appeared in court in Rio de Janeiro regarding a case involving his ex-wife, Mariana Bridi, and her mother, Sônia Bridi. The case, which is under judicial secrecy, resulted in a sentence of nine months to be served through restrictive rights rather than imprisonment. Cardoso has maintained a conciliatory stance, noting that he continues to maintain regular contact and coexistence with his children.
