Former film star, then feared jungle camp participant: He dished out violence in the jungle
Acting legend Winfried Glatzeder discovered his love for the theater in his youth. He studied acting in the GDR and was then able to establish himself as an actor. He initially made a name for himself with East German film productions, then made his breakthrough in the Federal Republic with the cult classic The Legend of Paul and Paula. He ultimately moved to the Federal Republic and became a successful film and theater star there. But he was also a crowd puller in the 90s as Tatort detective Ernst Roiter.
For a long time it was quiet around him, then in 2014 the big surprise: Glatzeder moved into the jungle camp. Looking back, he is known mainly for his heated arguments with the other camp participants In fact, the situation threatened to escalate: As RTL reports, Glatzeder even became violent and attacked Sturm der Liebe actress Larissa Marolt
“on the arm” beaten.
“My children need money”: This is what Winfried Glatzeder says about his return to the jungle camp
Fans are already excited to see how Glatzeder will fare in the Allstars jungle ten years later. The actor is 79 years old, breaking the previous age record: Scandalous jungle queen Ingrid van Bergen was 77 years old when she took part.
Glatzeder is “in top shape” and reveals the real reason for his participation in the RTL interview:
My children need money and I need the confirmation that at the age of 80 I am the oldest participant in a super format.
He jokingly reveals that he wants to use his acting talent to win the jungle crown:
I would like to point out to everyone that I want the 100,000 and you have to pull yourself together to realize what I will lie about and to earn this chance of the lottery 100,000I will hire.
It will soon become clear whether this confession of lies will cause trouble among the fellow campers. They are not exactly known for their need for harmony.
