The new comedy series is from September 17th Ron and Riet are not leaving! from AVROTROS can be seen weekly on the YouTube channel of NPO Zapp. Ron Boszhard stepped into Ron’s skin, a role for which he remained very close to himself, he tells NU.nl.
In Ron and Riet are not leaving! Ron and Riet want to emigrate to Spain with their mobile chip shop, but due to the pandemic, the borders close and they are stranded at a campsite in Brabant. There they are forced to open their chip shop. For the home front, they keep up appearances and pretend they are just on the Costa del Sol. The comedy series for the whole family was written by Diederik Ebbinge, known for Of Lice mother in Promenade.
Anyone who now thinks that this will be a succession of thigh crackers is not right, according to Boszhard (favorite fries variant: fries war, “sometimes with frikadel special, but not too often”).
“I wanted to make a comedy in a way that I had never done before. Know you After Life (British comedy series by Ricky Gervais on Netflix, ed.)? I was so impressed with that, it is one of the best series there is. You’re going to love those characters, it lasts. “
“I wanted to make something like that too. Of course we couldn’t even join After Life come on, but if people think it’s going to be a laugh-or-shoot show, they’re wrong. “
‘Don’t be nice but be nice’
The audience knows Boszhard mainly as a presenter of, among others Zappsport in On land, at sea and in the air, but with this show he can show a new side of himself. “I don’t play a character, this is who I am. I play myself, as it were. For a comedy you are quickly inclined to turn everything on very thick and pull funny faces, but this time I have everything very small. want to act. Playing yourself is incredibly difficult, but it’s good to give it a try. “
For this Boszhard received a lot of tips from actors he knew from Who is the mole? “The crux is that I should not be fun, but should be fun. And I think I succeeded, also thanks to all the big names who took part. I am surrounded by top people: Rian Gerritsen, Beppie Melissen, Dennis Willekens,” Bert Hana, Fenna Ramos, René Groothof … Unbelievable, such an honor that I can work with them. “
‘That just makes me quiet’
In an interview with It Parool from 2018 Boszhard says his life goal is to amuse people and make them laugh. That’s still pretty much what he envisions, he says.
“But I also want to make beautiful things that people will remember. To give an example: yesterday I received a message from a woman who went to Bomb! watching and eating pizza. Her nine-year-old daughter had told her that whenever she lies in bed at night and feels sad, she thinks about Ron Boszhard and then becomes happy again. That just makes me quiet. A message like that does me more than whether or not a million people will watch my show. “
‘In principle, I already feel like a winner’
For Ron and Riet their dream is shattered by the corona crisis, but Boszhard seems to be doing well this year: he makes a new series and participates again Who is the mole?. Nevertheless, he is especially happy with the rest he was able to take this year.
“Normally I make eighty episodes Zappsport, I will go to the World Cup in the summer, I make Bomb! And so on. Now I had plenty of time for my girlfriend and daughter and that really did me good. But of course I was also incredibly honored to be able to participate again Who is the mole? – it’s really heartwarming that everyone has given me that. “
And does he feel like a winner because he has already survived two executions? “Look, it remains a game – a crazy game, you feel the whole world is working on it – but in principle I do indeed feel like a winner already. It just won’t get any worse than in 2018.”
Ron and Riet are not leaving! can be seen every Thursday from 3 p.m. on Zapp’s YouTube channel.
