Climbing stairs as a "pandemic sport": "Tatort" star Ulrich Tukur stays fit in lockdown thanks to a broken elevator.

Actor Ulrich Tukur (63, "The Lives of Others") keeps himself fit in lockdown by climbing stairs, as he explained in an interview with the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" (NOZ): "I currently live in an old house with four-meter-high rooms on the fourth floor, and the elevator has been out of order for months. Every day I have to go up and down with the dog a couple of times. When I get to the top, I'm done, it's my pandemic sport. "

"At least in the first few months," the lockdown was "an unexpected opportunity to stop", "to read, to have nothing to do the next day and the day after that. This is an amazing gift for someone who has run like me . But now I would really like it to stop, "said the 63-year-old. The "Tatort" star also revealed in the interview that he had been suffering from tinnitus for seven years. "It's something you have to live with. And if you accept it, you can do it pretty well." He "really only hears it when it is quiet around me".
