Gerard Joling is remarkably hard in an interview about Frans Bauer. A risk, because the singer from Fijnaart is one of the most popular people in the showbiz. “It’s fake.”
RTL 4 has an incredible amount of faith in Gerard Joling’s new REALLIFESOAP, because the channel places him on a very prominent time slot: Friday evening at 8 p.m. It is so prominent that even the singer becomes a bit nervous and he even sat down behind the mounting table. “Twenty years ago I didn’t get involved.”
So be it
Gerard’s soap, who was already called Only Joling, was shown on the then small TV channel Yorin. “But we are now at the most popular time of the evening: on Friday evening at 8 p.m.. I want people to appreciate it. For what I have seen now, it will all be very pure,” he says in Veronica Superguide.
According to him, it will be authentic television. “With all due respect, but it will not be the kind of ‘real life’ as some colleagues do. From performances, family visit to TV work: the crew has access to my agenda. And if I have a lesser day once: so be it. “
Fell in each other
Gerard then hands out a striking sneer to his beloved colleague Frans Bauer. He already blamed that from Angela de Jong that his Christmas soap would have been staged too much. “Someone who is averse to plays in TV series. I thought. But unfortunately. My frightened suspicion soon turned out to be truth,” she sneered in a column.
On that, Gerard says: “I get out of bed as myself, without having first been through the make -up. I don’t walk in a door six times and because the light is better. I am over: it must be really. I always think people realize it.”
Snear to Frans
According to the Veronica guide, it is a direct reference to the soaps of colleagues such as French. “After all, Gerard also looks at other docusoaps such as those of the Roelvinkjes, the Bauers and the Frogers,” said the TV magazine.
Gerard after that: “Not meant negative, but things have been put together there to make it more fun. That is not necessary for me: something happens every day!”
On the edge
Unfortunately, RTL 4 will go through the soap of Gerard with the censorship gum. “My jokes are often on the edge, so they have to get out. You used to cried and roar of everything and you could always scream and roar, but the times have changed, both in what you say and what you do. I am rather bold, but that is no longer possible.”
We do not have to expect Johan Derksen-like frankness. “I think that is only possible if you are TV host. I still perform a lot, so I want people to find me a bit normal in interviews and with TV appearances. I can’t just call everything anymore.”
Frans has not yet responded to Gerard’s criticism. He is reportedly busy with the fifth take of his Chinese order.
