Actress Jella Haase describes herself in an interview as “bustling, bubbly, exuberant”. A punk musician is her “idol”.
Jella Haase (29), who became a star in the “Fack ju Göthe” series as the brightly made up riot brat Chantal, is obviously in the blood, as the title interview with the magazine “DB MOBIL” (November issue) shows. “I’m bustling, bubbly, exuberant. As a child, I had my five minutes every day. I’ve always been there. You can call that exhausting,” says the native of Berlin. Even as a child she was looking for the camera and forced her parents to film it: “There was an instinct to play in me that I couldn’t defend myself against. Something inside of me wanted to get out.”
A punk musician as a personal idol
Jella Haase was certainly able to let out a lot at the punk concerts to which her parents regularly took her as a child. “For example, to the gigs of Atti and her band Payback 5. I toured Colombia with Atti in 2018 on a tour of their band Bluttat,” the actress explains.
“To this day, Atti is my big sister, second mother and idol rolled into one. She is the freest person I know. She always did what she wanted, never allowed herself to be dictated to – that shaped me. She has taught me that you don’t have to stick to norms. “
“I should be more serious”
And yet the norms thing sometimes gives you a headache, as she admits. “Some days I am fragile and insecure. I often think I have to be more serious. Adult. More elegant. More mysterious, aloof, sadder. But I also know that I am not,” says Haase. Instead, the multiple award-winning artist enjoys the nightlife to the full: “I just love going out with friends, talking, partying and getting lost in the night.”
On the other hand, she doesn’t love housework at all. “In principle, I don’t see household chores at all. Unnecessary. Complete. It’s like this: I don’t have a particularly long attention span. And when I eat, for example, this action is completed the moment I’ve finished. Tidying up dishes is no longer an option about it “, says Jella Haase and confirms the assumption:” That creates chaos. ” And how do family and friends react to this? You know them now, she says. “They know that sometimes you have to help me.”
