Cathy Hummels with a new job: She took a guest role in “Sturm der Liebe”. How it happened and what he thinks about his performance.

She is a presenter, influencer, entrepreneur – and now also an actress. Cathy Hummels opens a new chapter. The 37-year-old guest starred in the popular ARD telenovela “Sturm der Liebe”. For two episodes he moves to the luxurious “Fürstenhof” and seeks a break from everyday life. The episodes in which Hummels plays himself will be shown on TV on November 21 and 24 and are also available now in the ARD media library.

On his Instagram profile, Hummels provided some insight into the shooting. In one photo she leans against the “Fürstenhof” sign in a sporty tennis outfit, and in another she stands in the studio background smiling. He wrote: “It was a wonderful experience for me to photograph ‘Fürstenhof’ and I am very happy to now share the results with you.”

In an interview with spot on news, Hummels told more about the background to his appearance as a guest star. Therefore, he got involved in “Sturm der Liebe” because a friend suggested it and he then started talking to producer Peter Proske-Clayton. It was “just right”.

As an influencer or presenter, Hummels is used to appearing in front of the camera, but acting is something different for him. “When acting, I can play a role and can completely immerse myself without fear of personal consequences. It’s liberating. When presenting or appearing in public, I am 100 percent myself and of course that makes me more vulnerable,” he said.

He also emphasized that Cathy Hummels has a lot to do in her role, which is about empathy and helping. “I’m a person who likes to give – sometimes even too much. But I like helping and seeing other people happy. When I make someone smile or feel better, that’s the best feeling for me.”
