Overview
- In a conversation with host Kamilla Senjo, the 65-year-old recalled falling asleep on an air mattress and drifting far out to sea.
- He estimated he was about 10 to 12 years old when he woke to a deflating mattress and saw the shoreline had become distant.
- He said he panicked and paddled back to land with his last strength, describing intense trembling once he reached safety.
- He emphasized the experience left no lasting trauma and that he still enjoys swimming in the sea.
- The interview also promoted Was man liebt, braucht Zeit, a collage-style memoir created with author Knut Elstermann, and he noted feeling a little fear when he considers Tatort’s audience size.
