Personal life In 1985, Tony and his then bandmate Arnaldo Antunes were arrested for possession of heroin. During a police operation to prevent taxi drivers from being robbed, officers stopped the taxi in which Bellotto was and found 30mg of the drug with him. Later, they went to Antunes's apartment, where they found 128mg. Antunes was charged with drug trafficking while Bellotto was charged with possession only. He paid his bail (Cr$ 400,000) and awaited for trial out of jail. Bellotto is now a supporter of drug liberalization. He is an atheist. In September 2011 he lost his father, one day prior to the opening of Rock in Rio 2011, in which he performed with Titãs. By the end of the 1980s, he was in a relationship with actress Giulia Gam. Married since 1990 to the actress Malu Mader, Bellotto had with her two more sons, João (born in 1995) and Antônio (born in 1997). All of them live in Rio de Janeiro.
