Johan Heldenbergh recognizes himself in ‘My father is a saucisse’: “For the rest of my life, make sure I don’t relapse into dark thoughts” | showbiz

Fiction and reality. Holding hands on the red carpet. Johan Heldenbergh (54) struggled with depression and burnout a few years ago and played the role of Paul in ‘My father is a saucisse’. A family man who has had enough of his boring office job and one day fully opts for his childhood dream and wants to act. “With the exception of his youngest daughter Zoë, that does not go down well with the rest of the family,” Heldenbergh adds. “They state that Paul struggles with depression or burnout. Or as it sounds in the film: ‘His cables are burned out.’”
