Bambi look: “It’s annoying me now” – Gottschalk doesn’t need to speak about Cher anymore | EUROtoday

Moderator Thomas Gottschalk (75) would not really feel like answering questions on his look on the Bambi Gala. He stated he was requested about it repeatedly in Passau. “And it’s starting to annoy me.” He has no issues with Cher, and Cher has no issues with him. “That’s the most important thing.” And: You haven’t got to fret about him.

At the Bambi awards on November thirteenth, Gottschalk offered the golden deer to pop star Cher (79) – and misplaced the thread on stage. He later defined that the efficiency of a Cher double confused him after which he blacked out.

One extra present after which it is over

“I’m 75 and now I’m retiring from the business,” he stated. He nonetheless has an enormous Saturday night present on RTL, “and that’s it.” Other folks stopped at 67, says Gottschalk. But he will not be bored in retirement.

Gottschalk appeared as a laudator for tenor Jonas Kaufmann. The 56-year-old acquired the “People in Europe” award from the “Passauer Neue Presse” for his creative work and his social dedication.

Gottschalk stated he was an enormous fan of Kaufmann. His spouse advised him: “This is not about you, but about Jonas Kaufmann,” he reported to the laughter of the viewers. “I tend to take it for myself when I’m on stage.” This will be understood as a reference to the Bambi Gala. When Gottschalk advised an anecdote on stage, laudator Hannes Jaenicke whispered to him: “It’s about Cher.”

„George Clooney der Oper“

Classical music, like television entertainment, doesn’t have it easy today, especially among young people, said Gottschalk. Long-winded sung opera stories and the quick Tiktok video are just not a good match. Operas, “at least as Richard Wagner understood them,” have largely disappeared from folks’s minds, just like linear tv.

“But I believe that people like you can change that,” Gottschalk stated to Jonas Kaufmann. He is the present star of the opera scene, a kind of who conjures up audiences and critics, and one who’s convincing not solely by way of content material but in addition visually. “You are the George Clooney of opera.”
