Overview
- On Thursday, July 16, 2026, Ochsenknecht told Guido Maria Kretschmer on the feinstoff podcast that she would not send children into public acting roles at a young age today.
- She confirmed her sons Jimi Blue and Wilson Gonzalez began as child actors in the Die Wilden Kerle films in 2003 at about 11 and 13 years old.
- Ochsenknecht said on-set schooling and parental supervision were provided then, and that she and her then-husband Uwe kept a close watch and she often traveled to shoots.
- She contrasted that era’s episodic print coverage with today’s nonstop online exposure, saying social media and the permanence of internet records make privacy and protection far harder.
- Her comments are a personal reassessment rather than a call for new rules, and they highlight how modern digital visibility may change parental choices and industry care for young performers.
