Bas Muijs was allowed to talk to Queen Máxima for five minutes and gave her a friendly slap on the back on the football field. Purely out of friendliness, because Bas is a relaxed guy, he likes to emphasize.
GTST celebrity Bas Muijs is not the type to worry about protocol. And he would like to say that in front of the camera Show news. The actor was allowed to talk to Queen Máxima for five minutes during a football event — she had an injury and could not kick off — and he said he did what he always does: be himself.
Slap on the back
Bas was also the disarming guest with Máxima, he wants to say. The man of the world. Someone who is also just Bas to Máxima. “I got to talk to her for about five minutes.”
“I said, ‘Well, queen, take my football boots and then you can play football in my place.’ She laughed very hard at that, but she said: ‘No, I’m really not going to do that.’ I gave her a slap on the back, which you sometimes do when you make a joke at someone. She was all fine with that.”
Protocol
Did Maxima’s people also think that slap was fine? “There weren’t six security guards standing on my neck and pulling me away,” he says proudly, as if that is the ultimate proof that he sensed the situation perfectly. Unlike all those stiff types who worry about something like royal protocol.
Not Bass. Bass is relaxed. Bas told it in Shownieuws. Extensive.
Injury
Anyway: Bas had hoped for more. “She seems to have an injury. She was very honest and open about it. What I noticed about that injury is that she was certainly not able to kick off, because that is what she was actually supposed to do.”
He sighs: “It would of course have been great if Máxima had played football.”
