Actor Mario Adorf (88), according to his own words, is increasingly worrying about dying. „Will you have a serious illness, will you have to suffer? I think about that, not every day, but increasingly, „he said
However, he does not think much about death itself. „This is a fact that has a finality for me, who I do not believe. I do not think there’s anything left, „said Adorf. One day he wanted to „consciously witness his death“. „That may have something to do with the job again, the eternal compulsion of the actor to observe himself,“ explained Adorf.
According to his presentation, euthanasia is out of the question for a serious illness. „Well, I would not cheat if it does not turn out nice. (…) I would accept dying as it happens to me, „he said.
Open for new roles
Adorf had made his breakthrough as a film actor in 1957 as a brutal mass murderer in the movie „At Night, When the Devil Came On.“ On television, he inspired a large audience in productions such as „The Great Bellheim“ by director Dieter Wedel.
For film and television Adorf keeps a „door open“: „If still a nice role, why should not I play it, while it still works. (…) If I could not remember any lyrics or drag myself in front of the camera, I’d rather stop altogether. „
