Pierre Bokma is afraid of suffering from a mental illness. In in an interview in HP / The Time says the 64-year-old actor that he has always had that fear.
“I used to have a lot of anxiety attacks. About how fragile and fragile it all was. That I thought: the body is such an incredibly complicated machine, so much can go wrong.”
Bokma could then walk around with that thought for hours and be afraid of falling dead. “And I can tell you that time then goes very, very slowly. You end up in a completely different reality.”
However, the actor is not yet afraid of dying of old age, although he is increasingly offered the same jobs due to his age.
“I only get roles from older characters, often struggling with that fact. So I am increasingly confronted with the facts.”
He is also sometimes rejected for a role because of his age: “But that is not bad at all? What are you a clown if you deny that and start simulating it. And actors are still a lot better off than actresses who are older. turn into.”
At the moment Bokma can be seen in the performance in the Schauspielhaus Bochum King Lear.
