Through the monsoon, around the world: At the highest point of their success the “Tokio Hotel” - twins Bill and Tom (23) left Germany - and mov
ed to Los Angeles.
Two years of silence. Now they are back in their homeland - as “Deutschland
sucht den Superstar” judges! Tom and Bill gave BILD their first interview on
the set of the talent show.
BILD: Already discovered today some talents?
Bill: Yes, there were some good people there …
Tom: But no one who blew our minds. At least not today.
BILD: How do you get along with Dieter Bohlen?
Bill: We haven’t met Dieter before, but have been looking forward to do with him the anniversary season of DSDS. We got along really well right away and have a lot of fun.
BILD: You know the dark side of show business, which helps for sure at the casting, right?
Bill: I have also seen candidates, about which I thought: “No, that’s just not your thing …
Tom: Those who just want to be famous, really annoy me. Being famous is just a side effect, if someone is really good at something. If you can’t do anything, you should not even be famous.
BILD: Two years ago, you have left Germany. How is your life in Los Angeles?
Bill: We have now tried two years, quite consistently, to hide. We wanted a place where we can withdraw to have some privacy. We feel comfortable in L.A., live together with our four dogs.
BILD: Why you fled literally?
Tom: We were just five years on the road non-stop, and had no more retreat. We really had the feeling that we have no home anymore - it was eventually not important where we sleep.
BILD: A terrible feeling …
Tom: Yes. Eventually it got to the point where it was a bit too much and then we thought about it: Where can we ever go? And above all, we also wanted a place where we can finally be creative.
BILD: … and record a new album?
Tom: In L.A. we can simply record, relaxed, new music - that has brought us further, artistically. Some of this (songs) people will never hear, but some already.
BILD: Is there already a date for a new album?
Tom: That’s in the process. We won’t rush ourselves.
BILD: Where do you feel at home today?
Bill: Actually, always where our family is. Of course, our roots are in Germany, it always will be the feeling of home. But Tom and I can settle down anywhere fast.
BILD: Bill, you’ve visually also changed quite a bit, the skeleton tattoo on your hand is so blatant …
Bill: I’ve already started it early! I got my first piercing at 13, my first tattoo at 15. I’ve always loved tattoo, in past years I didn’t had much time to get new ones. Now I design some new with a tattoo artist in L.A.
BILD: You’ve got quite a lot muscles …
Bill (laughing): You do what you can …
