Rita von Hunty

Guilherme Terreri Lima Pereira, widely recognized by his stage persona Rita von Hunty, is a multi-talented Brazilian educator, actor, comedian, YouTuber, and drag queen. By December 2021, Rita had amassed nearly 2 million followers across various social media platforms, showcasing her widespread appeal and influence.

Holding degrees in Performing Arts from UNIRIO and Literature from USP, Guilherme initially pursued acting before relocating to São Paulo. This move came after his mother was diagnosed with cancer in September 2011, prompting the family to seek medical treatment. Following her passing in 2012, he chose to remain in São Paulo, committing himself to the theater community.

In 2013, during the Carnival celebrations, Guilherme embraced his creative side by attending a party as Rita von Hunty. This marked the beginning of his drag career, which quickly gained momentum when he was invited to join a performance company. By 2015, Rita achieved significant recognition, performing at São Paulo's largest drag events and appearing on RecordTV's Xuxa Meneghel program.

The character of Rita von Hunty was crafted to challenge and redefine the stereotypes surrounding drag queens, steering clear of clichés associated with femininity. The name pays homage to the iconic actress Rita Hayworth, while "Hunty" is a term of endearment within the drag community, and "von" adds a touch of regal flair. Through her performances, Rita continues to make a lasting impact on the Brazilian cultural landscape.
