Jan Hofer has new plans: Among other things, the former “Tagesschau” spokesman wants to become more active on social media.
At the end of August, Jan Hofer said goodbye to his work at “RTL Direkt”. that he is now enjoying time with his family in Mallorca, where “it is simply much more relaxed than in Berlin”.
“All of my energy went into the show, there wasn’t much room for anything else,” Hofer remembers working at “RTL Direkt.” And further: “Now it’s time for me to set new priorities, first and foremost to have more time with my eight-year-old son and not just see him every two or three weeks.”
“It’s time for a more active social media presence”
Hofer admits that he has defined himself strongly by his profession. And even now I don’t want to retire. He will continue to try new things; several projects are currently in the decision-making phase. “I’m also really looking forward to exploring realms that are a little less familiar to me: I think it’s time for a more active social media presence.” He’s already doing well on Instagram: Hofer already entertains over 50,000 followers with videos from his vacation and little jokes with his wife.
It is obviously important to Hofer to look forward in every respect and to keep up with the times: “People who are always looking backwards make me sick. I hope that I can be a role model for older people,” he also revealed.
Hofer is a “medical miracle”
The former “Tagesschau” spokesman, whose date of birth is somewhere between 1950 and 1954, is convinced that he still has enough time. His doctor recently described him as a “medical miracle” with no signs of wear and tear. Hofer: “My mother turned 96, so I easily have another 20 years left.”
Hofer also actively takes care of his health, as he reveals: He only drinks a little alcohol and does a lot of sports such as cycling, and he also has a personal trainer.
