German actor Jürgen Prochnow (79) lived in Los Angeles for many years and is also a US citizen. Nevertheless, he is happy to have moved away from the United States, the "Das Boot" star (1981) tells in an interview with "Bild am Sonntag". "The current president is a disaster," said Prochnow with regard to Donald Trump (74) and the current corona crisis. Nobody wants a situation like there, it is devastating what happens there: "People die like flies there."
Now there are also protests and riots across the country: "Racism in the United States is omnipresent." But that's not the only reason people are angry and frustrated, it just doesn't change anything – in so many areas.
In Germany, the art and culture industry is currently trying to make it difficult for them. "All of the suggestions for actors and viewers are really mind-boggling," says Prochnow. He could not imagine an auditorium in the theater by far.
