"In doing so, however, I forgot to look left and right and no longer properly perceived people, situations and feelings," Ramadan shares.
"I'm overworked and I've realized that I'm no longer the person I want to be. That's why I'm taking time out to calm down and reflect honestly," writes the 46-year-old. In doing so, he announces that he will get support. To work him and "come back stronger." The time-out is also important so that he can be a good role model.
The Beirut-born actor and director, who lives with his family in Berlin, is best known for his role as Ali "Toni" Hamady in the drama series "4 Blocks", for which he received numerous awards. His series »Asbestos« recently broke viewing records in the ARD media library.
