Kida Khodr Ramadan48, actor (“4 Blocks”), he “definitely” wants to get his driver’s license after his release from prison. He announced this on the talk show “Kölner Treff” (WDR). Since the beginning of August, Ramadan has been serving a ten-month prison sentence for several traffic offenses in Berlin, which he was sentenced to in February 2022. The fact that he had always driven a car without a license was a big mistake. “I thought I would get out of there somehow,” said Ramadan. “I think it takes a situation like this to know that you have made a big mistake.” In February 2024, the actor and director was sentenced again to ten months in prison after he was once again driving without a license despite the previous conviction .

Constantine Wecker77, songwriter and musician, was, in his own words, “a pretty stupid macho man” as a young man. “Luckily my poetry has always been much smarter than me. “I was later lucky enough to meet great women, like Petra Kelly and Margarethe von Trotta, who influenced me,” said Wecker in an interview with Rhenish Post. “It took a few decades, but I became an avowed feminist. It was a process – my generation was a real macho generation.” Men of his generation from show business who mourn the old days would “actually feel sorry for him”. “They are missing out on a cognitive process that would be good for them,” said Wecker.
