“The Warnkross’ love raclette, the Carpendales prefer fondue”, Annemarie and Wayne Carpendale reveal that and more in the Christmas interview.
Annemarie (45) and Wayne Carpendale (45) can be seen together on Boxing Day on “Traumschiff: Coco Island” (December 26, 8:15 p.m., ZDF). The presenter, who was born in Warnkross, and the actor and son of hit star Howard Carpendale (76) went to the Maldives. In a double interview with the news agency spot on news, the two reveal whether this could also be a goal for their private Christmas party with their four-and-a-half-year-old son Mads. They also talk about their new home, which has finally been completed, and they venture a small preview of the coming year, which has some professional highlights in store for him in particular.
Could you imagine spending a private Christmas in the Maldives or is the cold a part of Christmas for you?
Annemarie: Why not? But then with the whole, big family.
Wayne: Oh, this is going to be fun. Five Beach Villas for Christmas in the Maldives. I think there will be a few presents then.
How do you generally celebrate Christmas, do you prefer the three of you or the whole family?
Annemarie: Always with the whole family. For us, these are simply the days of the year when we can really all get together and spend undisturbed time together.
Wayne: Exactly, we just don’t do anything there except eat, unwrap presents, play, talk.
Annemarie: And watch “Traumschiff”.
How important is the decoration and which color dominates this year?
Wayne: We just finished building the house. And in the house you will find the color Brique [ein Terracotta-Ton, Red.] very often again. I didn’t know before that it was a color either, but I’m sure it will also find its way into the decoration here and there. But I only do the technical stuff myself. My wife is responsible for the taste.
Annemarie: You phrased that very nicely, darling! Brique, yellow, curry, mustard, pink… because our whole house has become one big play of colors, there won’t be so many Christmas decorations this time, otherwise it’ll be too much even for me.
Which tradition shouldn’t be missing at Christmas?
Annemarie: We’ve been felling our own tree for a few years now. The little one should somehow understand that it doesn’t grow in a stand at the Christmas market.
Wayne: And the Carpendales like to write Christmas cards, even if the addressee is right next to you. The Warnkrossies find that a bit strange.
Annemarie: Yes… That’s why you love our raclette and fondue, grandma’s crazy cake and all the other goodies there are. So! Incidentally, the Warnkrosses love raclette, while the Carpendales prefer fondue. That’s why there’s always both.
How do you feel about the gifts?
Annemarie: Fortunately, since Mads was born, the gift focus has been on him.
Wayne: Exactly. Before that, Anne and I were still the children who received presents, which at 40 is a bit strange at some point.
Annemarie: And the adults give each other a little something. Lately we have Secret Santa, so that not everyone gives X things to everyone.
After the “Traumschiff” broadcast on December 26th, New Year’s Eve is just around the corner. How do you like to celebrate the turn of the year?
Annemarie: Definitely far away. As long as Mads isn’t in school, we’ll take advantage of it.
What are your wishes for the coming year?
Wayne: After building the house in the last 18 months, definitely a lot of days where there aren’t 150 to-dos and every day is full of decisions about colors, materials and other construction things.
Annemarie: A lot of quality time as a family, more time for our Ukrainian foster children and our hand2hold initiative… And hopefully a little more peace in the world. That moves us a lot: Since the pandemic, I think some things have been going in the wrong direction: abortion ban in America, extramarital sex ban in Indonesia, a World Cup in Qatar… Freedom is our greatest asset and I wish that so much above all the people of Iran and all over the world.
Wayne: A very big wish would definitely be that we all talk to each other more again without cornering each other and pointing fingers at others.
Wayne, you don’t just have the joint “Dream Ship” episode coming up. What else can the fans look forward to?
Wayne: Right now it feels like everything is coming at once. Currently you can watch me on Prime Video with the series “Peaceful Christmas” [Start am 9.12., Red.] stream. Well, not just me, but a few other very cool colleagues – Esther Schweins, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Valerie Huber, Timur Bartels.
And after the “Dream Ship” I get on for a few episodes of the ZDF series “Betty’s Diagnosis”. And then in the spring, in the truest sense of the word, there is another real heart project that I moderated – the dating show “Herz on Board” on VOX.
Annemarie: Which brings us back to a kind of “dream ship”… my little Cupid.
Wayne: Do I hear irony there?
