I suppose a future trip to visit Brazil in in order, then! 🙂

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

My sister told me yesterday that her boyfriend has family there! We were half-joking about it being a reason to visit.

disneyschroeder.bsky.social•311 days ago

I looked at the page on TV Tropes for “Matilda” (the 1996 movie) and found this entry in the movie’s Trivia tab. Maybe this might have something to do with your strong popularity in Brazil!

disneyschroeder.bsky.social•313 days ago

I guess at some point, maybe your movies got very, very popular there (or it may be for a different reason) and you've developed quite a following there, which is very nice and flattering!

I mean, I wouldn't want to set you up for a visit, but it would be fun to see what reception would await you!

disneyschroeder.bsky.social•313 days ago

New footage of Mara Wilson's fan reception in Brazil unearthed

disneyschroeder.bsky.social•313 days ago

Also, yes, a personal visit to meet your sister's boyfriend's family would be nice, of course.

maxpeck.bsky.social•313 days ago

The analogy goes over my head I've never had a friend that does those things.

But it sounds fun!

loumodesto.bsky.social•313 days ago

are we going to love jail?

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

No! Please keep doing what you’re doing

loumodesto.bsky.social•313 days ago

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
we're loyal, kind and chaotic, for sure

madeofstarz.bsky.social•313 days ago

My husband is not famous. He does live stream playing guitar, and I can confirm your Brazilian fans theory.
He's even had some that apologize if they have to be at work and will miss his stream. 😂

disgracekelly.bsky.social•313 days ago

I’ve done community management for a few popular US brands that have nothing in common other than constant unceasing daily comments saying WE LOVE U IN BRAZIL PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL. Brazilian fans are so hyped up and enthusiastic!

3fecta.bsky.social•313 days ago

One of my favorite European bands Nightwish is massive in Brazil, Argentina. They don't know why. They just roll with it.

stlittlegirl.bsky.social•313 days ago

Oh they really are, I happen to have friends who are big fans (I'm from Brazil)

cetico.org•313 days ago

They also have you in common and it sounds like you treat fans well!

cetico.org•313 days ago

(I mean the brands’ fans)

warcabbitmwm.bsky.social•313 days ago

@gailsimone.bsky.social loves her Brazilian fans, she had a great time with them.

I don't want you to hang out more. I want you to brew a cup of tea, find a blankie and a good book and live your best life.

bigfatbartolocolon.bsky.social•313 days ago

you are America's Pele!

markshatraw.bsky.social•313 days ago

Brazilians are like Canadians with rhythm; they're just happy to be included

stlittlegirl.bsky.social•313 days ago

But come on you're not just mildly famous here, all 90's kids LOVE your movies! I myself am a big Matilda fan, I used to have a picture of you as Matilda as my Twitter avatar (and here I am Anna Chlumsky's Vada 😅 Also a big fan of My Girl)

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

Awww! You are so sweet! Also, I have talked with Anna Chlumsky, and she is absolutely lovely.

stlittlegirl.bsky.social•313 days ago

You're both lovely ladies then 😊

gollyzilla.bsky.social•312 days ago

How many Brazilian fan accounts are dedicated to you?

iamchrisgam.bsky.social•313 days ago

I can never tell which "come to Brazil" comments are real and which ones are memes. I'm mildly annoyed by them either way, because they're so ubiquitous.

cetico.org•313 days ago

Just chill, perhaps? I know a place where you can go to do just that..

gabrielaventura.substack.com•313 days ago

Yeah, we're so extra in our affections that, at this point, I don't really know if its a meme or a cultural thing. But also, Mara, you're always lovely, so... we're also kinda right. :)

kristalmoonhand.bsky.social•311 days ago

You should talk to Goku, they also love him in Brazil

jodyhouser.bsky.social•313 days ago

Everything I've heard about Brazilian comics conventions has been really lovely.

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

A couple years back, my sister made a “come to Brazil” joke and I said “Hey, how do YOU know about that?”

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

She gave me a quizzical look and said “they post it everywhere, it’s a meme at this point” and I said “it’s not a meme, it’s my life!”

lierxagerate.bsky.social•313 days ago

I'm a complete nobody who happens to guest on a small podcast and play bass in a video game cover band and I get the "come to Brazil!" comments on things I do online all the time lol, it's definitely a thing

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

You can be D list everywhere else, but absolutely beloved in Brazil

disneyschroeder.bsky.social•313 days ago

Which, once again, proves TV Tropes' theory...

Mara Wilson : Brazil :: Spinal Tap : Japan.

sulik2.bsky.social•313 days ago

Brazilians spend on on average close to four hours a day on social media. The most in the world, that has to have an affect.

honestthief.bsky.social•313 days ago

"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"

enceladusty.bsky.social•313 days ago

Anyone I've known that went (as a commoner) gave it glowing reviews.

liladalila.bsky.social•313 days ago

Add a lot of memes and YEP, that's pretty much us on the internet! 😂

alierakieron.bsky.social•312 days ago

What a fabulous thing to be known for!

jayoguy.bsky.social•313 days ago

Like, my cat?

honestthief.bsky.social•313 days ago

I don't remember the group but I heard a story about guys in a pretty metal band that started getting some success and then, when traveling to foreign country, walked out on stage to an enormous crowd of teenage girls.

It was not the crowd they were expecting but they eventually grew to love it.

richardkeppler.bsky.social•313 days ago

No. Nobody ever tells me anything like that.

marawilson.bsky.social•313 days ago

I think it’s definitely more of a girl/women/probably AFAB, in general, thing
