I couldn’t do anything alone: shower, go to the toilet. They have for cared for me like a little baby. It was so important to me. Those two people helped me the most.”
Nevertheless, he emphasized that he missed his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla. “In this phase you want to be around the people you love the most, so it was disappointing for me that Sophia didn’t come, but that’s the job.” According to the newspaper, the actress was filming.
