André Hazes Jr. suddenly changes his media attitude: he doesn’t want to answer any more questions about his notorious mother Rachel Hazes or even about his beloved Monique Westenberg. “No!”

In recent years, André Hazes was an open book: he gave every reporter a candid answer, even when it came to his family problems. But that has now come to an end, reports Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden. He was on Wednesday at the presentation of André’s new program ‘Hazes & Hoogkamer: at your service’.

Jordi really surprised there. “You have those artists who say everything, such as Anouk, and now I was on a press day of André Hazes and Mart Hoogkamer. That was about all kinds of new programs,” he starts in his podcast Strictly private.

He continues: “I have to say: I regularly interviewed André and there were times when you could ask him everything and that man answered everything, even though there was a column of ten people around him who had something like: don’t say this! But now something really happened that I thought of: jeetje, André has grown up in one go.”

Rachel ban

Then why? “We were not allowed to talk about Rachel, we were not allowed to talk about Monique,” said Jordi. “You know me: I started asking when he will ask Monique to marry. But:” No, we’re not going to talk about that today. Only about the program! “

A remarkable new move, he thinks. “That can mean two things: either he has indeed really grown up or there is a new real -life soap in which they will sell that whole story.”

Media training

Co-host Jan Uriot thinks it may also be that André is now just a little better guided. “Or he has just had media training now. I think that’s it.”

Jordi concludes: “I think it’s a nice guy, I really mean it. I see that it doesn’t drink alcohol very well. I really like that to see.”
