In order to increase the tension between Dadinho/Li’l Dice and Marreco/Goose, acting coach Fátima Toledo told teenager Renato de Souza (Marreco/Goose) to bully Douglas Silva (Dadinho/Li’l Dice) for 15 days. In the scene where Marreco slaps Dadinho, Douglas Silva started crying and threatened to abandon the movie, so the angry look he gave Marreco in the movie was real.
