Davi Lucca is 14 years old and already knows something that many adults struggle to understand: recognizing who shaped them.
During the 2026 World Cup, the cameras captured him time and again being kind, polite, and attentive to those around him. Social media was flooded with comments praising Neymar’s eldest son, and amid that wave, Quem magazine asked him how he felt. He did not hesitate to shift the spotlight toward someone else: his mother, Carol Dantas.
“I am very happy and have a lot to thank my mother for, because she is the one who made me who I am”, the young man said, with a simplicity that disarmed anyone. In a world of celebrity children accustomed to the flashes, Davi Lucca chose to name the person who raised him away from them.
