Olivia Colman, 50, actress, is annoyed about the poor pay for women. In 2019, the Brit received an Oscar for her role in the historical film “The Favourite”. Despite this, she says she is still paid less than her male colleagues. “I’m very aware that if I were Oliver Colman I’d be earning a hell of a lot more than I do,” she said on CNN. Male actors get more money because it used to be said that they were the attraction for the audience. “That hasn’t been true for decades, but they still like to use that as a reason not to pay women as much as their male colleagues.”
Liam Gallagher, 51, singer, is on the “downward trend.” That’s what he said the British tabloid The Sun. After his rock star life as Oasisfrontman, he is now battling a range of health problems from arthritis to broken hips. The musician is currently on a health journey, has reduced his alcohol, drug and cigarette consumption and gets up at four a.m. every day. “Life is precious,” said Gallagher. “You have to undo everything bad you’ve done to yourself.”
Alfred Hettmer, 69, “file number XY” investigator, has already been cheated on the Internet. “I wanted to buy a small Christmas present for my wife, a pendant for her neck,” said the former police officer the New Osnabrücker Zeitung. He ordered a special offer from a supposed online presence of a brand manufacturer from which he had already purchased several times. “A few days later a primitive product arrived that wasn’t worth ten cents. I probably paid around 80 euros.” However, his credit card provider refunded him the purchase price. “I didn’t suffer any damage,” said Hettmer. “But I have experienced myself how easily I can be fooled.” For many years, Hettmer was the second face of the “Aktenzeichen XY” show alongside presenter Rudi Cerne, but now he only works in the background.
Jutta Speidel, 69, did not want to answer the phone on Wednesday. She turns 70 on March 26th. “On my birthday I pack up my children and my grandchildren and we run away and don’t answer the phone,” she said Augsburg General. She still feels in good health and is not afraid of death. “I know people who have had near-death experiences and been brought back. They said they were angry about it because the feeling was so nice.”
Paul Maar, 86, children’s book author, thinks more slowly. Even when he writes, he now realizes that he is no longer the youngest. “Thoughts come more slowly than before. Age is already noticeable and it’s not like age is just a joy,” said Maar at the Leipzig Book Fair. Next year he wants to publish a picture book based on the play “Grandpa Bear and the Menz” together with his grandson Hannes. The disease dementia is discussed there. Maar is often asked when a new book about Sams will be published. “I get children’s letters almost every day asking, ‘When is a new Sams volume coming?’” said the author. But he thinks that a new volume “really doesn’t have to be necessary.”
