Horst Lichter: Keeping Up a Smile Through Heartbreak
- "Strength was the key in this situation"
Hold up a sec, folks! Meet Horst Lichter, that Rhineland fella with the moustache who makes our Sundays brighter. But it's not always sunshine and old cars - the Bares für Rares host has faced some grueling storms. In a recent stern TV episode, he opened up about the storm that hit him hardest: losing his child.
With a German charm as immense as the Rhine itself, Lichter spoke on Instagram about the day that turned his world upside down. The man who's as famous for his cooking and cabaret as he is for his TV shows, had to say goodbye to his infant child when it was just six months old.
Lichter: "Life Managed to Keep Rollin'"
Deep in the trenches of life, our boy went through some tough times. "One thing's clear," he shared in stern TV, "In that moment when you hit rock bottom, you realize everything's changed." Most poignantly, when he lost his child, his mates were nowhere to be found. "No one wants a piece of the pie when you're down. It's sad for everyone," he admits, leaving us reminding ourselves to be there for our buddies when they need us most.
The question here was obvious: How didn't he turn into old grump shuffling the streets? Lichter explains it simple: "When the poo hits the fan, someone's gotta step up," he said. "I didn't have the luxury to wallow in self-pity. Wife's there, and can you imagine how a woman is affected in such situation? Parents, in-laws, siblings, the entire system's broken. You can't just curl up into a ball and cry."
Instagram users were moved by his raw honesty. One commented, "And yet he never fails to bring a smile. Respect!" Indeed, a tough cookie, that Lichter fella!
Unleashing the Clown Within
In other interviews, our boy opened up about tackling difficult times with a dash of lightness. He's had more than his fair share of hardships, from the death of his child to strokes and heart attacks. When life gave him lemons, he made lemonade. As he put it in a 2011 interview, "I'd always rather be the rainmaker than the monsoon mood killer."
