Behind his intimidating exterior he hides a big heart.
Arif Emre Demir (25) from Berlin is on Wednesday for the second time after 2017 as a candidate for “ Germany is looking for the superstar”.
“People who see me for the first time think: He looks dangerous!” Arif knows about his impressive appearance with a dark voice, full beard and well-trained body.
But there is no need to fear the postman of the Deutsche Post, who is of Turkish descent, because Arif cannot harm a fly.
He to BILD: “I’m just the dearest soul in the world. I help where I can, whether at work or in my private life. On the bus, I stand up for the elderly and help old ladies across the street or carry their groceries into their homes.”
People who get to know him personally would say to him afterwards: “We thought you were the tough guy and not so nice.”
Already in 2020 Arif had a big appearance at DSDS, but in the 17th season it was already over for him in the jury casting. Since then he only thinks about a new chance to get Dieter Bohlen.
Hard shell, soft core: Arif Emre Demir loves singing and a good style
How does he think about planks? Arif: “It was my greatest wish to stand in front of Dieter at DSDS and get a yes. I was looking forward to the casting, but I also felt a lot of pressure and was very nervous. So I had mixed feelings about that.”
What does he think about him nasty saying that Bohlen made in the same program for candidate Jill Lange (23)?
“If you take part in DSDS and stand in front of Dieter, you have to be prepared for a stupid saying. But I found his criticism good and constructive.”
