Actor Mike Lebanon dazzlesโฃ on Dutch Game โshow with Barefoot Preference
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Actor Mike Lebanon isโค making headlines notโ just for his appearance โคon the popular Dutch game showโ De Slimste Mens (The Smartest Person), but for his unconventional footwear choice – or lack thereof. During โa segmentโข with presenter Herman van โder Zandt, Lebanonโ revealed his preference for going barefoot, explaining it takes approximately thirteen minutes for him to feel pleasant removing his shoes.
“What’sโ nice about it?” van der Zandt inquired. Lebanon responded,”It is indeed the freedom that your feet have to be able toโฃ spread,to feel and to be able to be touched.” He โfurther elaborated that being barefoot provides a massage for the entire body.
While Lebanon isn’t opposedโ to shoes entirelyโฃ – “I need this,” he stated – he prioritizes barefoot freedom whenever possible.”But if it is cold or wet outside, theโ actorโ grabs his shoes.Then โขagain.” He actively seeks opportunities toโ remove his shoes in warm environments, such as โcinemas, trains, andโ at home, declaring, “Thoseโค feet have to free.”
Unfortunately for fans of Lebanon’s barefoot style, his run on De Slimste Mens was short-lived. He was eliminated in the finalโข round โby ESPN presenter aletha Leidelmeijer.
this season marks Herman van derโค Zandt’s debut โขas the show’s host, โwith support and messages from his predecessor, โphilip freriks.
De Slimste Mens airs every weekday at 9:30 PM on NPO 1.
Context:โ The Rise of Barefoot Living
while seemingly a quirky personal preference, Lebanon’s choice taps into a growing โขtrend ofโ “barefoot living” or “earthing.” Proponents believe that direct contact with the earth’s surface can have positive health benefits,โ ranging from reduced inflammation to improved sleep. Although scientific evidence isโ stillโ emerging, the practice has gained traction in wellness circles, with advocates citing a reconnection to natural rhythms โคand sensory stimulation as key benefits.This trend reflects a broader cultural shift towards prioritizingโ natural experiences and mindful living.
