André Hazes Jr. causes irritation because he went to a florist in his program with Mart Hoogkamer to arrange a free bouquet. “Of course he also gets very pretty paid.”
It is one rip-off Van Geer & Goor who does not fall well with critics: the TV show Hazes & Hoogkamer: at your service. It all feels very made, very artificial. Moreover, André Hazes Jr. and Mart Hoogkamer behaves very stingy, says media acricus Victor Vlam. “You just have to give such a florist money for that.”
Put on
Victor thought it was really shocking that André and Mart even started to release a free wedding bouquet with a florist. “These are two folk singers who are doing well financially. André Hazes can be booked for more than 20,000 per performance. You can get Mart Hoogkamer for 10,000,” he says in The Communicado’s.
“And these two folk singers, who are doing well financially, have to arrange that wedding for someone who is terminal, beg a local florist to be a free wedding bouquet. Then I think to myself: I find that uncomfortable. This local middle -class probably has trouble keeping the head above water.”
Not easy
Such a florist does not drown in the money, says Victor. “It is really not easy to survive in these times and then I think: should a free flower be delivered? Give that lady in this case just money for that! Such a florist also just had to pay for those flowers himself.”
They also don’t give that woman a choice, he continues. “If you are suddenly confronted with rotating cameras asking if you want to deliver a free flower … I think there are quite a few people who don’t dare say no, because you do seem unsympathetic if you don’t want to donate a free flower for a wedding for someone who is terminal.”
Cash
André and Mart themselves do not do such a program voluntarily and free of charge. “They also get very pretty paid for that real -life soap. It is just earned a lot of money, so if such a florist then provides a service, the person pay.”
It is not a fun program anyway, Victor concludes. “It’s really fake, yes. No, it’s not authentic, no. That’s a problem.”
