From Friday she will be on the “Let’s Dance” stage. But before that, she shares some sad news with the public: Lina Larissa Strahl and Tilman Pörzgen have separated.
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. But that’s not the only thing that’s been troubling her lately.
Lina Larissa Strahl: Shortly before taking part in “Let’s Dance” she made her separation public
“It made me sad when everyone always addressed me as Bibi and not as Lina,” she now told “Bild”. And in fact, just one look at her Instagram profile is enough to see that the 28-year-old is much more diverse and creatively active. Her own podcast, musical appearances at the Reeperbahn Festival and Lollapalooza, among others, guest appearances on “The Voice Kids” – none of this still reminds of her time as Bibi.
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. Her podcast “Fühl ich” starts on February 22nd in collaboration with the radio station DASDING (SWR). 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
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.” What they (hopefully) have left is their dog Ilvie.
