Overview

• In a new Bunte interview, the 76-year-old former Bayer Leverkusen manager says he dropped from over 180 kilograms to about 95 to stay active for Nicha.
• Calmund and his wife adopted Nicha from a Thai orphanage when she was about two and a half, and he describes her as a child with special needs.
• He underwent a gastric bypass roughly four years ago, fell to around 83 kilograms, and later stabilized near 95 to 100 by design.
• After becoming dizzy during a December recording of Grill den Henssler, he received a stent in a Cologne hospital and has since recovered.
• He has stepped down from the VOX show after 18 years, and a recent RTL appearance highlighted his close bond with Nicha as she comforted him on camera.
