André Hazes Jr. sees juice channels such as those of Yvonne Coldeweijer as the downside of being famous, he claims in conversation with Jeugdjournaal. “No one wants to be famous.”
Friend and enemy agree: André Hazes Jr. and his infamous mother Rachel get a kick out of attention. They have to constantly be in front of the camera and throw out all their inner feelings on the street. Yvonne Coldeweijer has been at the beck and call of these two for years; as the hazologist she released an incredible amount of juice on them.
Reverse side of medal
André gets a kick out of that, of course, but in conversation with it Youth news he pretends he thinks it’s terrible. “I have been in the middle of it for a few years and I have been treated well. At some point you really learn to live with it. Everyone wants to be famous, but no one wants to be famous.”
He continues: “There is also a other side of the coin and that is, for example, juice channels. I understand that certain things are just very interesting. Sometimes I read it and look at it and then I think: it doesn’t seem real at all. I understand that the media enjoys that, yes.”
‘Has something’
Then André seems to show his true colors for a moment: “No, that’s not necessarily the attention I want. On the one hand, I think there is something that they have achieved, so to speak, so: they will never be my friends, not that.”
Yes, of course André thinks that what Yvonne has achieved has something to do with it. Because of her and her alone, he was the most talked about celebrity in the country for a few years. And now that there is no more juice left, his halls remain empty and hardly anyone listens to his records.
Dolphin
What if André can no longer make a living from his singing hobby? Does he have another profession he enjoys? “When I was young, my dream was to become a dolphin. That was also possible in my imagination. Then at some point I discovered that that was really not possible. Then I really wanted to start acting.”
What do you mean acting? “I guess I just really wanted attention.”
Ah, not a bit has changed.
