Jella Haase also knows the darker side of life. For example, she has already been the victim of a violent crime.

Jella Haase (28, "Fack Ju Göhte") is a successful actress who knows the glamorous side of life. But she also knows the darker downsides, as she now revealed in an interview with the magazine "Zeit Verbrechen". Accordingly, she has already had personal experience with crime and violence.

She herself was once the victim of a violent crime, she describes in an interview. When trying to defend a person who was "hit and thrown down the stairs," the actress herself was attacked. The 28-year-old recalls: "When I threw myself over her to protect her, I received blows. Getting a fist in the face is awesome."

For the native Berliner, the "ugly grimace" of humanity is worrying. She has repeatedly encountered violence in her life. Her parents lived in an area where there was "clan activity" and she recently saw a person shot on the ground looking out the window. "This raw violence frightens me. I am afraid of the lust for murder, the joy of causing pain to others," says the actress.

Jella Haase has followed her passion, acting, since she was a child. After theater productions and small roles in various productions, she celebrated her commercial breakthrough in 2013 with "Fack ju Göhte". Since then she has appeared in films such as "Kidnapping Stella" and "Berlin Alexanderplatz".
