Actor Miroslav Krobot Recalls Unforgettable Train Journey with Hockey Fans
prague, Czech Republic – Veteran Czech actor Miroslav Krobot recently shared a humorous anecdote about an unexpected encounter with enthusiastic hockey fans during a train trip from bratislava to Prague. The story, revealed in a recent interview, highlights the challenges of public recognition and Krobot’s enduring connection to both his craft and a simpler life.
Krobot recounted the incident, which occurred sometime in the winter following the broadcast of the film The Last Match of Pepík Hnátka, in which he starred. He initially enjoyed a peaceful, empty train car from Bratislava, anticipating quite travel. However, upon arriving in Brno, the wagon filled with fans of the HC Kometa Brno hockey team en route to a match in Prague.
“I came to a fully empty wagon, which I appreciated very much, and I was looking forward to having absolute peace,” Krobot explained. “But we arrived in Brno and the whole wagon filled the fans of the hockey comet Brno, who went to Prague for the match.It was just after broadcasting a movie The last match of Pepík Hnátka so my face was all sorts of profound.”
Attempting to avoid recognition, Krobot “broke my hands, fans, and sport, scuff and hid under my coat.” His efforts were initially accomplished, but were quickly undone when a fan recognized him, exclaiming, “Dude, isn’t it Pepa Hnátek?”
Krobot then spent the remaining two hundred kilometers to Prague with the boisterous group, admitting, “You just don’t have the mood to drink two hundred kilometers of plum brandy.” The journey culminated in a spontaneous photoshoot at Prague’s main train station.
The interview also touched on Krobot’s writing aspirations, revealing he is working on a fantasy novel, and his continued involvement with amateur theater, which he describes as “a very clean form of theater…the original one.” He also spoke fondly of his family’s tradition of spending Christmas at their cottage in the Jeseníky Mountains, a place where he’s learned “all possible professions” while maintaining the property.
