Hollywood star Christoph Waltz, 64, sees himself as privileged in the corona crisis.
"I have certain inhibitions to talk about the fact that I have time to reflect, to read and time to sort out," said the film actor of the German "GQ".
"I'm in such a privileged situation that I can't talk about my supposed deprivations," explained the two-time Oscar winner.
“To be honest,” said the Viennese-born, “what kind of sensitivities celebrities talk about, how bad the crisis is for them.
You can no longer go to the restaurant or meet up with friends.
Yes, don't meet up then! "
He sees "no need", but "actually just inconvenience".
“But I am thinking of the people who live three in 50 square meters and lose their jobs.
That's a different matter.
For me, as long as I am healthy, it is not existential.
For many it is existential despite health. "
"This is really going to be a disaster"

The end of the pandemic will take a year or two, says Waltz, “and much of the real damage will only then be revealed.
It won't be like this: Spring is here, we are vaccinated, hurray, we're starting again.
It's going to get a lot tougher.
And the bankruptcy wave is just coming. It will really be a disaster. "
Waltz also has a clear opinion on corona deniers: "These people who call themselves lateral thinkers think along the lines of their heads." Anyone who feels wearing a mask as a restriction of their basic rights has a problem in the thought process.
“It's not across.
He's just stupid. "The actor has a clear stance:" Put on the stupid mask and stay two meters away from me. " cornered ”.
Waltz achieved worldwide fame through the character he played as an SS man in the film "Inglourious Basterds" and the one of the bounty hunters in "Django Unchained", directed by Quentin Tarantino.
For both roles, Waltz received the Oscar for best supporting actor.
