Michael Naseband Joins Promi Big Brother, Marking a Turn Toward Reality TV

The former K11 star says he reversed his view of such shows after guidance from new management and now wants to present himself authentically.

Overview

  • Sat.1 has confirmed Michael Naseband as a contestant on the 2025 season of Promi Big Brother.
  • He previously rejected reality formats as “too trashy” and cited concerns about constant surveillance but now says he is eager to take part.
  • Naseband says he has no fixed strategy for the show and believes authenticity, not tactics, resonates with viewers.
  • Before TV fame on K11, he served more than two decades as a police officer, including work in Düsseldorf’s murder squad and a UN mission in Kosovo, and he left the force in 2003 for television.
  • His public profile also reflects personal and family milestones, including the 2021 death of his wife Tanja at 46, a cause the family has kept private, and the Düsseldorf pub now run by his son Mike.
