So far unnoticed by the public, Daniel Brühl has packed his things and moved to Spain. Now the actor reveals his move in an interview and explains the reasons. They also have to do with politics.
The German-Spanish film star Daniel Brühl has moved from Berlin to Spain, his country of birth, with his wife, Felicitas Rombold-Brühl, and their two children. The actor, director, dubbing and audio book speaker gave two reasons for this decision in an interview with the magazine “Bunte”.
One of the reasons was the effects of the corona pandemic, which his family in the big city also felt. Another driver was “the war situation, which feels much closer in Berlin,” explains the Barcelona-born artist. “I especially wanted to offer my five-year-old son, who is now asking a lot of questions, the chance to move to his second home where it’s just more peaceful,” says the 44-year-old.
The family lives in the country, in the mountains and by the sea, Brühl reveals and enthuses: “It’s a radical change, but it feels fantastic.” But that’s not all: It’s “one of the best decisions I’ve made in 22 years,” he concludes.
Daniel Brühl and Felicitas Rombold got married in private in 2016. The actor actually only told about the secret wedding in February 2018 in the “Bunte” interview. The couple’s two sons were born in 2016 and 2020.
Brühl is known as an actor in films such as “Good Bye, Lenin!” (2003), “The Fat Years Are Over” (2004) or “Krabat” (2008). With productions such as “The Bourne Ultimatum” (2007), “Inglourious Basterds” (2009) and “Colonia Dignidad – There is no turning back” (2015), he also managed to make an international career.
Privately, Brühl has so far been considered deeply rooted in his adopted home of Berlin. Here, eleven years ago, he also created another mainstay alongside acting – with the opening of a tapas bar in the trendy district of Kreuzberg.
