The actor Oliver Masucci (55) is heading to warmer climes at Christmas time. “I’m actually going to Mallorca. I want to swim in the sea. But it will probably be Switzerland because my big daughter always has to celebrate in the snow and that’s what she has “There’s plenty right now,” said Masucci, who was born in Stuttgart (“Schachnovelle”, “Dark”), to the German Press Agency in Hamburg.

At Christmas there is always the same banquet in the Masucci house, said the actor. “Goose. Always the goose. A goose has to be made. It’s not that easy to get on Mallorca. And it has to be good. The next day, fondue chinoise.”

Masucci lives with his family in Mallorca and Switzerland. In February he will take on the role of Hogwarts teacher Severus Snape in the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” for ten performances in Hamburg.
