Youp van ‘t Hek no longer dares to walk the street in Amsterdam without a helmet because of his aggressive neighborhood resident Glennis Grace, the comedian jokes in his column. “I’m wearing a full-face helmet.”
We have an increasing Dutch celebrity problem in the Netherlands. Star after star derails completely, endangering other people. Last weekend Glennis Grace turned the Jumbo in the Amsterdam Jordaan upside down. Comedian Youp van ‘t Hek finds the misbehavior of fighting Glennis unbelievable.
Youp about Glennis
Youp writes today about the derailed stars in his column in the NRC Handelsblad† The blundering former figure skater in Op1 has passed him by a bit. “After all, worse things do happen on Dutch television. Nodding celebrities, for example.”
“Or that hours of attention are paid to a small rapper who helped his wife out of the car by her hair. Or about a singer who beats the staff of a Jordanian neighborhood supermarket into the hospital. This all happened around the corner from me,” said the comedian.
full face helmet
In the coming period, Youp will be extra careful when he walks on the street in the Jordaan. “For the time being, I’m walking around my neighborhood with a helmet. Even a full-face helmet.”
“Why were these two top artists so aggressive? No idea. I think they’ve been sitting in there unemployed for too long. Then you’re going to act weird. And she’s not alone. All Dutch Refugee Homes are currently overcrowded.”
