Babyface with a pitch-black soul, that’s how you could describe Klaas Heufer-Umlauf. The 32-year-old regularly provides proof of this in his TV show “Circus Halli Galli”. Here, he blasphemes about everyone who stumbles through the German publicity jungle and actually also about the international celebrities, who are then allowed to tar and feather themselves directly on location in the studio. This is meant figuratively, because Heufer-Umlauf knows no boundaries, he never has. How else can it be explained that he made it from a half-hearted hair flick to a big TV number? The big mouth helped. First on Viva, then on MTV, now on ProSieben. The banter is not stupid, let’s call it intelligent humbug. At home, Heufer-Umlauf has been the caring dad for three years. And full of baby snot from top to bottom, even a fool can be used for sayings. Or is it all just a facade? We find out with the help of Pietro Sassi.
1 Klaas is the perfect partner for a game like “Duel for the World”. In it, he solves tasks set for him by his buddy Joko Winterscheidt. The fact that Heufer-Umlauf wins most of them and doesn’t give up even when faced with the most disgusting drink or the most difficult course is a sign of a fighter. No wonder: the prominent transverse wrinkles on the forehead stand for extreme stamina.
2 Without powers of observation, the job of a comedian would be difficult. Klaas Heufer-Umlauf looks very closely and sees what others are doing; nothing escapes his notice. Why do we know that? The narrow eyes give it away.
3 Those whose inner ear protrudes beyond the outer ear are extremely self-confident. This is clearly recognizable with Heufer-Umlauf. After all, it makes sense – if you want to see your face on TV, you better not be a gray mouse.
4 A narrow upper lip is a sign of a fact-oriented person. Emotionally charged arguments won’t get you very far with this man.
5 This fold on the left above the nose is small but important. It is called a job crease and not only indicates a quick grasp of things, but also the ability to impart knowledge pragmatically.
6 This man has fire! The strong eyebrow hair attests to Heufer-Umlauf’s high temperament and passionate lifestyle.
7 Wide lugs stand for high load capacity. Not a bad quality for someone in the limelight.
8 No matter how much he wins, how many prizes he receives or how many viewers he attracts to the screen with his shows, Heufer-Umlauf is never satisfied. There is always room for improvement, the urge to optimize is enormous – as the pointed nose edges show.
