Encanto: Julieta Secretly Knew Bruno Was Hiding - Theory Explained

Bruno Madrigal hid for years in the walls of the magical house in Encanto, but one fan theory claims Julieta knew he was there all along. In Encanto, Alma Madrigal (María Cecilia Botero) receives a miracle on the night her husband dies, sacrificing himself for his family. Alma receives an enchanted candle after her husband's death, and a magical house springs up around her.

For instance, Alma's daughter Julieta (Angie Cepeda) can make meals that heal people, and Alma's son, Bruno (John Leguizamo), has visions of the future.

Because of her lack of powers, Mirabel's relationship with her Abuela Alma becomes strained. The lack of gifts also causes Bruno to go into hiding. On the night that Mirabel didn't receive a gift, Bruno had a vision of the future and saw Mirabel standing in front of cracks in the magical house. Wanting to protect his niece and save her from judgment, he went into hiding in the enchanted house's walls.
