Surprise at the premiere of the new Sönke Wortmann strip “Der Nachname”. Comedian Luke Mockridge (33) has been back at a public event with a red carpet for a long time. In an interview with the private broadcaster RTL, Mockridge said that he was fine. This year he took things a little more calmly, but 2023 will be “super”. He is planning “great things that are coming next year”.

The comedian and moderator had withdrawn from the public for a long time after allegations by an ex-girlfriend. In his own statements, he explained that the allegations had already been legally refuted. After he went on tour again in the summer, his comeback on a red carpet has now followed. For the beginning of 2023, the broadcaster Sat.1 has already announced that Mockridge will appear on the show “Germany’s Best Comedians”.

The film “Der Nachname” celebrated its premiere in Cologne. The star ensemble around actors such as Florian David Fitz (47), Christoph Maria Herbst (56) and Iris Berben (72) also honored themselves in the cathedral city. The film is the sequel to the chamber play comedy “Der Vorname”, an adaptation of the French play and cinema film of the same name “Le Prénom”. “Der Nachname” will be released in German cinemas on October 20th.
