Controversies

In 2002, while still working as a model and trying to kick-start his acting career, Pedro frequented the pages of the main newspapers and magazines in Brazil claiming to be the protagonist of the next David Lynch film. However, although it had wide coverage by the São Paulo press, the newspaper “Folha de São Paulo�
investigated the information
with the production of the filmmaker who categorically denied the information. Told by the newspaper, the agent informed that the film did not exist. On the other hand, according to Pedro, the production of the film would be "indignant" with him for having released the film without authorisation: "They won't mind if I come off as a liar".
