Carice van Houten’s image has changed completely in no time. For a long time she was a celebrated actress, now she is suddenly a climate activist. “She’s a bit lost.”
The green side of Carice van Houten is showing itself more than ever. The actress has never been to the A12 as often as in recent months. She is committed to climate change with her heart and soul, but there are also many people who are annoyed by it and that she is exaggerating. And that’s where it closes too New Revu joins in.
Strange outfits
According to Andries de Jong, journalist for the magazine, Carice seems to be ‘going a bit crazy’. “Has fame gone to her world-famous head? It tends towards that. The actress appears to be asking questions less and less and she is becoming increasingly shy of media that try to ask her questions in a normal way.”
The toll of fame? Maybe so, says Andries. He also points out the “weird outfits she’s been appearing in at glamor parties lately.” “People are wondering whether Van Houten – just like the globe – might be overheating itself.”
‘She has lost her way’
Nick Dijkman, star reporter from Story, also speaks. “It sometimes seems as if Carice has lost her way a bit. She is an intelligent woman who knows in advance that what she says will only polarize further. It creates people who have an even greater aversion to everything that is bad for the climate. This is how climate wappies are created,” he says.
According to Nick, those climate activists are not quite one hundred percent. “They pretend they are not aggressive and then allow themselves to be lifted away. But then you see that look in their eyes…”
Crazy hat
Nick also finds Carice’s outfits very strange and strange. “I sometimes meet Carice at showbiz parties. Sometimes she appears at a premiere as a kind of half-hippie with a funny hat. She mixes several zeitgeists in her styling; then it seems as if she is still looking for her identity.”
Despite her climate activism, Carice can still continue as an actress, he thinks. “I don’t think she should do that anymore as a table lady on a talk show.”
