Matthijs van Nieuwkerk has found a new calling: singing. Incredibly ridiculous, Johan Derksen thinks so. “I think it’s very stupid. Nobody in the Netherlands wants him to do that. “
The TV career of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk has come to a halt very abruptly and now he is slowly but surely reinventing himself. He is currently working on the try-outs of some theater tour, and during last weekend’s try-out he has sung the song My Funny Valentine by Chet Baker on stage.
Mr. Big Star
Ridiculous, says Johan Derksen. “He is busy with a comeback in the theaters and now it is bothering me that he has kept his Hollywood way way and he is not in the position that he was Mr. Big Star can play, “says the television star at the table Today Inside.
“Look, in the past when he was at De Wereld Draait Door the Star of the Netherlands … If people wanted an interview, you could send the questions to him by e-mail and he filled in the answers. You just had to accept that, you couldn’t come to a discussion, and he demanded that he could first approve the photo. “
Lips
Shownieuws had sent a reporter to the try-out, Bart Ettekoven, but he was banned. Johan: “If he wants to be in the picture again with a try-out, then publicity comes to it and then he prohibits filming. That is not part of a real star. There are cameras, there are cameras everywhere in Hollywood. “
And, he continues: “Then you shouldn’t get it in your head to film. And what I find very stupid is that he is going to sing a song. Everyone in the Netherlands, except Angela, would like it if he came back on TV. But nobody in the Netherlands wants him to sing a song. “
In principle
It is also something principal for Johan. “I also have fundamental problems with those famous Dutch people who sing songs. He is going to sing My Funny Valentine from Chet Valentine, but I find that nonsense. Nobody is waiting for that at all. “
Matthijs sang the song for his wife. “For his great love, he does everything and that great love was worried by Eus, who then put him a knife in his back.”
Table guest Angela de Jong finally: “Nice, isn’t it, that TV world? That snake pit. “
