Berlin / Cologne (dpa) - Actor and musician Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht also wants to encourage young people to go to cancer screening.
"That you should be checked and checked regularly, even if you have other things in mind than to go to the urologist," said the 29-year-old Berliner of the German press agency before World Cancer Day on February 4th.
"For many people cancer and prevention are taboo."
But he thinks it is important to talk about it and also say that you don't have to be afraid to undress in front of a doctor.
To draw attention to this, the son of Natascha and Uwe Ochsenknecht takes part in the Vox program “Showtime of my Life - Stars against Cancer”, during which the participants undress dancing (Tuesday, February 2, 8:15 pm) .
"I've never completely undressed on a stage, I had to think about it for a day," said the actor ("Die Wilder Kerle").
The performance did not cause any problems for the former “Let's Dance” participant: “I love to dance, learning the choreography was relatively easy and it was great fun.
The boys were all so cool too. "
Some of them also reported on their own experiences with cancer - impressive, says Ochsenknecht: “Of course, it also takes a certain strength to get through this and to tell the family that too.
It wasn't without hearing it, but it definitely gives you strength. "
