Marc-Marie Huijbregts stands by his criticism of Tim Hofman. He has the idea that the BOOS presenter really enjoys his own goodness. “It gives him an erection.”
Tim Hofman is regularly accused that his moral compass is working overtime. He was recently confronted with it in the College Tour program, where presenter Twan Huys started an excerpt from Marc-Marie Huijbregts’ podcast. The comedian accused him of having a Jesus complex in it last year.
Tim responds
Tim’s reaction was resigned. “People with an opinion who express their opinion all day long think that I should not express my opinion, because then I have a Jesus complex,” he says cynically.
Tim thinks it’s coming from somewhere else. “I think it’s more of an indicator of a much bigger thing: being bad. You should not have a big mouth in the Netherlands. I don’t quite understand the problem.”
Overdone
Marc-Marie now responds that he thinks it is a bit exaggerated that College Tour put forward his statements. “As if that matters what we say about Tim Hofman,” he says in surprise in his podcast Marc-Marie and Aaf Find Something†
His sidekick Aaf Brandt Corstius said: “I think that Twan Huys naturally didn’t want to say: ‘Gosh Tim, do you have a messiah complex?’ So it’s really nice that there’s an image somewhere where someone says that. That is a very useful interview technique.”
‘He enjoys too much’
Despite Tim’s acclaimed Voice documentary, Marc-Marie still stands behind his criticism. “What I have is that he does a lot of good things, but he enjoys that too much himself. He himself enjoys his goodness too much.”
Aaf: “Of his own goodness, yes.”
Erection
How does Marc-Marie look at Tim? “It’s a bit like someone who takes an eighty-year-old woman across the road and has an erection in his pants. That he thinks: what am I again… I could have walked on, but I’m that man again who takes that woman to the other side! That guy with the erection is Tim Hoffman.”
The comedian emphasizes that this is not intended as a nasty comment or a sneer. “It is a compliment.”
