Thijs Römer has been spotted by the country’s most famous paparazzo at Albert Heijn. ‘To the supermarket that looks after the little ones’, it says very falsely on the cover of Story. “He is very hasty.”
Everyone is looking for him, but how could it be otherwise: Story paparazzo Edwin Smulders has found him. He spotted Thijs Römer after shopping at Albert Heijn and that photo ended up on the cover of Story this week (see below). ‘The discredited Thijs Römer is no longer hiding’, reads the headline.
Hasty Thijs
We see Thijs in a black, somewhat outdated Hugo Boss T-shirt, with rather faded shorts underneath, made of a kind of blue terry cloth. A pair of sunglasses hangs from the neckline of his shirt. Striking, because you would expect that the actor wants to walk down the street as disguised as possible.

And at his neighborhood supermarket Edwin was standing with a telephoto lens…
