I don\u2019t think anyone did at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And at first, it just looked like people promoting themselves. My impression was that it seemed like a self-edited magazine, and I had no interest in that whatsoever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe star now understands that social media channels can serve other purposes, but he still chooses to shun them because of &#8220;the attacks&#8221; that often happen in those spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;Later on, I realised that social media had other layers and other aspects. You have a platform where you can say what you want &#8211; without any middlemen. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And for a while, I thought, \u2018Well, maybe?\u2019 But I just don\u2019t have a knack for that.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think I am also protecting myself &#8211; from all the madness, from vanity. From politics, from the attacks. I already get enough backlash for the way I express my political views. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Can you imagine if I stopped to read what people say about me? So I think I\u2019m protecting myself and I\u2019m very happy this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen asked if he might ever change his mind, Wagner insisted: \u201cNever. I\u2019m 49. Can you imagine me joining social media now? Some things just don\u2019t make sense anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Secret Agent actor admitted it is a shame that social media has become almost essential for young actors trying to break into the industry.  <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cI get that these days it has become important for up-and-coming actors &#8211; they\u2019re expected to have it to even be considered for roles. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And I think that\u2019s really unfortunate. Because it stopped being about the value that artists bring and turned into a matter of online presence. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;That\u2019s not what this job is supposed to be about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/wagner-moura-shuns-social-media-1431508.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 October 2025 Narcos star Wagner Moura does not want to be on social media.
