Dresden (TEH) – Actor Wolfgang Stumph (74) is also professionally active during the forced break as part of the corona pandemic. “As a freelancer, I am always in my home office,” he told the German press agency in Dresden. “If there is no shooting or rehearsal, things are developed there.” So the scripts for two films are finished, including another documentary – this time about those who stayed here, but over time Stump, as fans call him, becomes impatient. “I’m slowly getting too much prepared for what has to start,” he said. The shifts into the unknown “makes you a little fidgety”. But everything is still in the green area. “And the water can stand up to my lower lip, the main thing is that it makes Keen waves,” he said with a laugh. “I’m an optimistic person.” Otherwise, he keeps a lot of distance, also to the family.
Thanks to the Internet – from grandchildren to grandmothers, everyone has the technology and mastered it – we are connected to each other.” That is a nice replacement. “We’ll see you on Facebook and Skype.” Daughter and colleague Stephanie (35) is currently also in Dresden – and thanks to the ZDF television series “Der Alte” can be seen on Fridays on her parents’ TV. “It’s nice, we now have 90 minutes at home once a week, without a gap.”
