He always wants to be honest, but fair, says the 36-year-old about his future job. He also comments on his predecessor Dieter Bohlen.
Footballer Lukas Podolski comes to the jury of the RTL show The Super talent. The 36-year-old had “signed for several years,” said the private broadcaster on Tuesday. The former Bayern Munich player will participate from the next season. “You grew up with it. You watch it with the children,” said Podolski about the show. “You definitely need a bit of start-up time. But then it’s not a problem.”
Podolski is impressed by the constant new performances of the candidates: “I always wonder how much talent people can have? But there are always new surprises.” His motto as a juror: “In the end you have to be honest.” One must also be able to criticize, “but in a fair way”.
“Dieter Bohlen comes from a completely different direction than me.”
Most of all, Podolski looks forward to the show moments with kids on stage. “I’m a person who likes to be with children. I just look forward to having children.”
The former national player found words of praise about his jury predecessor: “Dieter Bohlen comes from a completely different direction than me. You can’t compare them either. And I don’t want to replace him in any way,” said Podolski. Now it’s going in a different direction.
RTL had announced in March of this year, not only the casting show Germany seeks the superstar (“DSDS”), but also The Super talent to set up anew. Permanent juror Dieter Bohlen flew out of both shows. They want to become more family-friendly, said RTL managing director Henning Tewes about the new strategy and promised “campfire moments for young and old, for old and young”. Another name for the replacement of the Super talent-Jury wants to announce the station next week.
