[What could cause this to fail are] the many dangers that lurk everywhere. [The thing I am most scared of are] brawls. I don't like them at all, yet for my role in Bad Cop: Kriminell gut (2017), I have to physically fight constantly. I spoke to the stuntman recently about how, in real life, I would be much too scared in such situations. Hide

But singing is not quite my thing. For La mélodie du destin (2011) in which I play young Udo Jürgens, I learned to play the piano. In my personal life I play the guitar, I had violin lessons for a long time and I played in an orchestra once. Music does play a role in my life, but rather for domestic use. Hide

For me it was important to do it without clichés like the pinky, the shaking butt or a higher pitched voice, to portray the character in a most natural way. My approach was to simply portray a story of first love - only that this one was with a man. Hide
