In a new podcast episode, Lena Meyer-Landrut reveals herself: The singer is convinced that she is “loving to play. No joke.”
Lena Meyer-Landrut, 32, spoke for the first time about her self-identified addiction to smartphone games in the SWR3 podcast “1 plus 1 Friendship for a Time”. In the second of four parts of the audio program, which can be heard from today, September 13th, in the ARD Audiothek, on SWR3.de and wherever podcasts are available, the singer talks to author, podcaster and singer Giulia Becker , 32.
Lena Meyer Landrut: She cannot permanently delete her cell phone games
“I know that you are a gamer, you play,” says the former ESC winner, initially addressing her conversation partner. When Becker then jokingly explains that he is at risk of addiction, the singer apparently thinks about herself: “I’m not at risk of being addicted to gambling, I think I’m addicted to gambling. No joke.”
Meyer-Landrut blames the fact that she has an addiction problem on, among other things, the fact that she cannot delete the games she loves from her smartphone. “Then I go through withdrawal and then I just download it again,” she explains. The 32-year-old thinks that “self-protection” doesn’t work for her: “That means I’m addicted.”
The singer prefers these games
When the conversation turns to which games Meyer-Landrut prefers, it appears that for a while “farm games” and the classic “Candy Crush” were very popular with her. However, she would now swear by “online Uno, online bingo and online Yatzi”. Meyer-Landrut also regularly makes in-app purchases, which is why her conversation partner quickly calls her “In-App Lena”.
Meyer-Landrut could already be heard on the podcast “1 plus 1 – Temporary Friendship” last week. In episode one she talked about her painful riding accident in which she broke two vertebrae. In “1 plus 1 temporary friendship,” two prominent personalities who don’t know each other or barely know each other talk to each other every Wednesday for a month. After four episodes they have to decide whether they want to remain friends.
