Luuk Ikink thinks that André Hazes Jr. can better end his career in Dutch showbiz because he suffers so much from the spotlights. “Shouldn’t he just stop?”
André Hazes Jr.’s five-part docuseries is one big lament about how difficult he finds the artist’s life. The media? Difficult. Stand on stage? nerve-wracking. The expectations of the fans? Complicated. Life of Yvonne? The horror. It makes RTL Boulevard star Luuk Ikink wonder what André is still doing in showbiz at all.
“Shouldn’t he stop?”
Luuk doesn’t really understand anything after seeing that docuseries. “I kind of got the idea: is that whole profession something for him? Shouldn’t he just stop altogether?”
He continues: “He may now have the intention of going through with this and stuff, but all these temptations are lurking and I don’t get the idea that he likes doing it because he is so tense before every performance even if it’s at a fair somewhere. He is still super tense.”
What does Guido think?
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker, who always presents himself as a kind of family friend of the Hazesjes, actually agrees. “André literally says in that documentary: ‘Maybe I shouldn’t do it at all and just start a bar and just sing a joke there.’”
He continues in Shownieuws: “I also think he should do that and a lot of people thought that last night. It was almost clear from everything that he is so looking forward to those concerts.”
Attention sick
The biggest supporter of a showbiz exit for André? Johan Derksen. “It is an attention deficit family. One is even more hysterical than the other. I don’t understand how the newspapers keep reporting about that,” he says.
A departure from showbiz would be a financial loss for André. Fortunately, he can fall back on his father’s legacy: if Rachel rattles his urn three times, the whole family can move on for a few months.
