The Brazilian series "Clone" throughout all 250 episodes kept observers in suspense. Viewers watched how love overcomes barriers, how an unrequited feeling destroys from within, how a misunderstanding leads to monstrous consequences. All the characters of the telenovela turned out to be bright and multifaceted, but Said from the "Clone" deserves special attention.
How it all began
In the center of the plot is the girl Jadi. She grew up in Brazil and is used to living in a modern way. Unfortunately, when the girl was 20 years old, her mother died tragically and Jadi was sent to the care of relatives in Morocco. Uncle Ali, a true Muslim, took care of his niece.
Once Zhadi, sparkling with youth and beauty, danced an oriental dance to brighten up a boring evening. At this time, his old friend with his godson Lucas came to visit Ali. The young man left his friends who were carried away by the conversation and went to wander around the spacious house. Suddenly, he accidentally saw the dancing beauty Jadi. Their eyes met, and young hearts pierced by love. Jadi and Lucas wanted to escape to Brazil together, but Uncle Ali could not allow this. A girl from a Muslim family could not start a relationship with a Gentile - the stigma would fall on the whole clan. Therefore, Ali decides to sooner marry a niece who rebelled against Islamic customs. He finds for her a worthy bridegroom - the rich and believing Said.
Dislike marriage
In the series "Clone", the wedding of Jadi and Said is shown with all the pomp and diversity in the 20 series. Newlyweds are entertained by numerous dancers dressed in iridescent costumes. Tables are choked with treats. Many guests wish happiness to Said and Jadi. Hiding under the cover of a female burqa, Lucas also comes to the celebration. He exchanges meaningful looks with Jadi. However, the young man is not decisive enough to move from the position of an observer to the position of a leader. The heroine is in love with a Brazilian, but is afraid to be abandoned and deceived. And she marries Said.
Said from The Clone is Lucas’s antagonist. He is by no means infantile and ready to fight for his love for the bride. Jadi does not feel anything for the future spouse, and he falls in love with her even on the bridegroom in the house of Uncle Ali. In the twilight of the bedroom, during the wedding night, Said finds out that Jadi is not innocent. It deeply hurts him. Relatives on both sides are waiting outside the door in order to see the bloodied sheet - the exposure of the bride keeping herself for her husband. Said is so in love with Jadi that, contrary to traditions and his own principles, he goes to deception. The young man makes a cut with a razor, and sprinkles the bed with blood from a wound. The next morning, relatives meet the newlyweds - thanks to her husband, Jadi is saved from shame, and the marriage is saved.
Infatuated
In the telenovela "Clone", Jadi and Said are characters whose relationships are very tragic. She cannot forget her first love, but he is forced to suffer from unrequited feelings. Said from "Clone" - the personification of the ideal man. He is caring, generous and forgives his wife for rude words and reckless actions. Three times the hero, in the heat of anger, renounces Zhadi and resolutely demands a divorce. Nevertheless, later, Said is ready to forgive everything to a woman who has forever captivated his heart. Many viewers on the forums, discussing the series, were indignant and reproached Zhadi for the wrong choice. She neglects Said, who has a golden heart, and seeks to reunite with the infantile Lucas.
Sweet revenge
Whatever you say, Said from Clone is partly to blame for his misfortunes. After 20 years, he brings Jadi to Brazil and begins a business partnership with the company of Leonidas Ferraz, father of Lucas. Said wants revenge, he sleeps and sees how he will meet Lucas and show that he possesses Jadi, and his enemy is left with nothing. But this is precisely what leads the character into a trap. Having seen each other again, lovers revive past dreams and want to start all over again.
Said from the "Clone" is furious. He is even ready to kill an opponent, the memories of which ruined his marriage. Poisoned by jealousy, the hero wants to "prick" and Zhadi. He announces that he intends to take a second wife. In the series "Clone" the series "Said's Wedding", which is the hundredth episode of the telenovela, has become one of the most turning points in the plot. Said marries a young and pretty Rania, one of the first beauties of Morocco. Unlike Jadi, Rania is fully committed to her husband, personifying the image of an almost perfect Muslim wife. The girl seeks to please her husband, even in small things, she is always friendly and never tired of saying kind words to him. However, Said more and more plunges into thoughts about why Rania, so impeccable in all respects, is still not able to replace Zhadi.
The hero even teams up with Lucas's wife, Maiza, who also suffers from indifference from the other half. Together they come up with an insidious plan how to separate the lovers.
Dalton Wiig in the image of Said
Said from “Clone” turned out to be so realistic and sensual thanks to the actor Dalton Wiig, who played it. Whig from childhood was fascinated by the scene, but still decided that he should prefer a more stable profession. He entered the university at the Faculty of Advertising and was a hardworking student.
After graduating, Dalton realized that a childhood dream never left him. He began his studies at the theater school and soon got his first role in the film O Porao. In 2000, he became the host of the Top TV rating show, and in 2001, fate presented Vig with a real gift - a contract for shooting in Clone. In the series, the actor revealed his multifaceted talent - his character turned out to be so memorable and touching. Dalton Wiig brilliantly portrayed Said's inner conflict, his controversial nature. Outwardly, the hero is strict and adamant, but his heart is full of pain. The wedding of Jadi and Said (episode No. 20) became one of the most emotional for the actor in the series "Clone". In an interview, Dalton Wiig shared that Said was very difficult for him to play. “Said is too tough a person for me,” the actor admitted.
However, Vig’s personal life is as stormy as his character’s. Dalton has three marriages. Now he is married for the fourth time, to actress Camille Cherkes. In July 2016, twin sons were born to the spouses.
Interesting Facts
In the series, Said has a younger brother, Mohammed. In real life, Antonio Coloni, who played Muhammad, on the contrary, is two years older than Dalton Vig.
Nivea Shtelman, who played the role of Said’s second wife, Rania, was first forced to act with Dalton in an explicit scene. So directed the director Jaime Monjardim. Actors who were barely familiar had to double their professionalism on the set.
Throughout the series, Said's episodes are accompanied by the cult and mesmerizing song of British singer Sting Desert Rose. She perfectly emphasizes the passionate nature of the hero.
Not all fans of “Clone” know that it was Dalton Vig who nominated Giovanna Antonelli for the role of Jadi. The creators of the series approved this proposal. Perhaps due to this circumstance, Said and Jadi turned out to be so vivid and emotional in the series "Clone". Series one after another adorn precisely the joint scenes of Vig and Antonelli.
