Sky du Mont: He says goodbye to the canvas

The German cinema landscape will have to do without Sky Du Mont (78) in the future. The actor confirms that his time on the big screen has now come after talking about the cinema in March.

Sky du Mont’s last cinema adventure is Michael Bully Herbigs (57) “The Cane des Manitu”. The comedy comes to the custody houses on August 14th. In the continuation of the success “The Schuh des Manitu” from 2001, he still plays along, then it is over. “I know nobody believes that. But that will be my last movie” ,. He never actually wanted to be an actor, but it “didn’t go bad” for that. And the star jokingly asks: “Who wants to see an old cracker like me? One day I don’t want to be pushed in diapers and in a wheelchair in front of the camera.”

“55 years are enough,” he says too. “I don’t want to go to a Dixi toilet anymore and I don’t want everything anymore.” Even a Tom Cruise (63), with which he was already seen in Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut”, you would can cancel Mont.

Sky du Mont chose similar words in March when he announced that “the canoe of the Manitu” should become his last film. “I will never be in front of the camera again,” he said at the time. He had “decided in this film and decided that this was my last film. […] I no longer want to sit in the pampas, go to a Dixi toilet, sit in the caravan for 15 hours until someone comes and says: ‘We have to, Mr. Du Mont. The light goes very quickly.’ It’s all over for me. “

At the premiere of the film there was a standing ovation for Sky du Mont – for which the actor also thanks. He writes: “Thanks for Standing Ovations! Thank you for 55 years of film/TV”.
