Not interested in having Hollywood-kind of career: 'Narcos' star Wagner Moura

He may have achieved global recognition with his starring role of the Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in Netflix series "Narcos", but actor Wagner Moura on Tuesday said he doesn't have Hollywood dreams.

The Brazilian actor, who received international fame with roles in the "Elite Squad" films and "Elysium", said Hollywood has given him great opportunities but his aim is to make films about empathy.

"Hollywood is big. It's a great working opportunity but I am not interested in having a Hollywood-kind of career," Moura said during a session, titled "The Magnificent Artist", at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

The actor, whose directorial debut "Marighella" is competing in the debut category at the 50th edition of the movie gala, added, "My first film is very political. My goal is to produce and make movies about Latin people that don't have stereotypes."
"'Marighella' is about this revolutionary Carlos Marighella who was a congressman, a left winger. With the situation, the only way they have is to take guns and to struggle."
"Directing is easy. Acting is way more complicated. It's about making people get together. My actors were so good in the film that I was thinking I am not that good. They are on a completely different level."
