Desiree Nosbusch, 57, Luxembourgish actress and presenter, likes to knock on wood. She has a “quiet but very deep love” for hardware stores, she writes in her recently published biography. “I like the special smell in the halls and I like all the buyers who all want to improve something or fix something.” To this day, she thinks, “These can’t be bad people.” She could walk around in a hardware store for hours, she had this tendency from her childhood, her father was a truck driver. “I knew early on where the carburetor was on a car and how to change a tire. Today I can still drive a truck or park a bus, and when I walk past a construction site I can see immediately whether the workers have the right steel mesh installed in the concrete.”
Daniel Donskoy, 32, actor and presenter, is grateful for the wisdom of his parents. “Whenever I asked my parents why they wanted to go west, I heard: You can’t understand it, you won’t understand it,” said Donskoy, who was born in Moscow, of the German Press Agency. With every further message from Russia and the Ukraine, he is more grateful to his parents for going to the then existing GDR in 1990 – and he understands them better and better. “My father always says: It was the best decision of my life,” said Donskoy. His parents wanted to think and live freely at the time. For him it has a topical connection. “The total restriction of all freedom of expression and the opportunity to form opinions is exactly what we are seeing in Russia right now.”
grimes33, Canadian singer, and Elon Musk, 50, US entrepreneurs, believe that with an X there must also be a Y. The two are parents of a boy named “X Æ A-Xii”, abbreviated “X”, as of 2020. Now it has become known that there is a second child together: the girl named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk – abbreviated “Y” – was born in December with the help of a surrogate mother, Grimes said Vanity Fair. Musk also has five children with ex-wife Justine Wilson. There is “no name” for their relationship status, Grimes said. “I would probably call him my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid on that. We live in different houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time. We have our own thing and I don’t expect other people to do that to understand.” They are happy and planning more children.
Samuel L Jackson, 73, US actor, claims the title of biggest swear word slinger. The facts speak against him: According to a survey by an online portal in May 2020, Jonah Hill is the actor who has used the most (376) swear words in his films to date. Leonardo DiCaprio came second with 361 swear words – and Samuel L. Jackson came second with 301 swear words. When asked about the ranking, Jackson said on the “Tonight Show”: “That’s bullshit.” However, since this appearance is a talk show and not a film, this statement should not improve his ranking either.
