Overview
- In a new interview cited by German outlets, he says on-screen kissing is “like work,” a special task but still professional routine.
- He admits he usually forgets such scenes, noting that co-stars Marleen Lohse and Jana Klinge sometimes have to remind him when and where they kissed.
- The one kiss he clearly recalls was with Ulrich Noethen in Der Boxer und die Friseuse over 20 years ago, which he said felt different because of facial hair.
- Explaining the lack of romance, he described filming a cold houseboat wake-up scene using heat patches as crew looked on.
- Recent profiles also emphasize his off-camera life as a married father of three living on a farm in a 50-person village in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with his wife choosing to stay out of the public eye.
