René van der Gijp imitated the duck face of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk in his talk show Today Inside. “I think he has come to believe in himself a lot,” said the football analyst.
Matthijs van Nieuwkerk was frequently in the news this week, because he published a collection of short stories. Some annoyance arose with the show media about the presentation of this, because Matthijs forbade all questions about his private life. He probably sat at the table with Beau van Erven Dorens on Tuesday evening with the same conditions.
Matthijs’ duck face
René van der Gijp has watched that broadcast of Beau and has the idea that Matthijs has started taking himself a little too seriously. “Look, that Matthijs… We really know that Matthijs is an intelligent guy. We’re not crazy. He’s well-read, Charles Aznavour. That’s just a good guy, but he’s going to overdo it now.”
You notice that in the behavior of the presenter, according to the football analyst. “He is now also going to look at it intellectually. He’s going to look like that now when he’s sitting at the table!”
René then imitates Matthijs’ duckface (see photo). “Haha!”
Film star
Johan Derksen has the idea that Matthijs has got it a bit too much. “He acts a bit like a movie star.”
René: “Yes, I think so too. I think he has come to believe in himself a lot.”
Johan: “He made a very literary face.”
Wilfred Genee: “Yeah, he looked a little frugal, didn’t he?”
hot air
Matthijs is a master at selling hot air, according to René. “Have you ever watched Matthijs do the ‘Number of the year’? Then four people would sit at a table and they would say (let it fall silent, looks dead serious, ed.): ‘217.’ And then I thought: yes, that’s good too. ‘And you? And you?’ ’23!’”
He continues: “And then the whole table sat there like it was about something! It wasn’t about anything at all! I loved that. I really loved that.”
