Lina Larissa Strahl became a star with “Bibi & Tina”. But she also suffered from being reduced to the role of the young witch.
On “Let’s Dance” Lina Larissa Strahl (28) wants to show a new side of herself from Friday. And finally shake off her image as the eternal Bibi Blocksberg. From 2013 to 2017 she played the young witch in four “Bibi & Tina” films – and suffered from being constantly identified with the role.
“It made me sad when everyone always addressed me as Bibi and not as Lina,” she said now compared to “Bild”. Lina Larissa Strahl has now made peace with Bibi: “Now that I’m in my mid-twenties, I appreciate it. She’s a part of me. I’m proud of it,” she said.
Not only because she was reduced to her role as Bibi, Lina Larissa Strahl often had to struggle with psychological problems. Even as a teenager she felt like a “weird outsider.” At that time she was alone with her thoughts and the “monsters” that she “had in her head”.
Mental Health Podcast
“I always thought nobody would understand me, why don’t my friends think like me? Why don’t I fit in here?” revealed the singer, who had her breakthrough in 2013 with the KiKA show “Your Song”.
Strahl has been “in therapy for several years” and has learned a lot about himself and the topic of mental health. She now wants to pass on this knowledge. Starting on February 22nd in collaboration with the radio station DASDING (SWR) her podcast “I feel”. In it she wants to clear up prejudices surrounding mental health and make listeners aware that it’s good to get help.
After seven years of relationship: Separation from Tilman Pörzgen
By the way, Lina Larissa Strahl has also shaken off her “Bibi” past in her private life. As she told “Bild”, she is no longer in a relationship with Tilman Pörzgen (30). After seven years, she separated from the actor she met on the set of “Bibi & Tina: Girls vs. Boys.”
