In a moving and personal talk, the actor and musical theater performer described his journey from being the corpulent fan favorite on TV hows like “Schillerstraße” to the day that changed his life. The poor results of a life expectancy test gave him the impetus and motivation to take responsibility for himself and his young family.

He lost 68 kg In just three years, and completely overhauled his lifestyle for the sake of his health. From then on, his chocolate addiction was a thing of the past; instead, a two-hour workout has become an integral part of his daily routine, and the life expectancy test now predicts that he will live to be 91 years old.

Following his talk, Tetje Mierendorf took time to answer personal questions from the invited guests during a get-together with finger food provided by Dietz-Gorges.
