Actress Mariella Ahrens (55) is the face of the “Playboy” magazine for the third time. The “GZSZ” actress, who celebrated her series comeback in 2024, posed for the cover of the April edition. Before that, she was already on the cover of the men’s magazine in 2001 and 2004.

For them, the pictures are “a nice way to say women that age is not important,” says Mariella Ahrens in the associated interview. Women could proudly look at their bodies, even if they would not see him as perfect. Because “nobody is perfect,” said Ahrens. The opinion of others is “unimportant”, his own charisma comes from a self -confident way. Ahrens is not the first prominent woman to be photographed with or over 50 for the magazine.

The “Playmate of the Century” Gitta Saxx (60) has already adorned the cover of the men’s magazine four times ,. In 1988 the then 23-year-old optician from Lake Constance made her debut as a playmate of the month. In an interview with the magazine, she revealed to the Shooting Ü50: “This time I was very excited, more nervous than before the other shootings. I am over 50, so I had to do a few more sit-ups more than before. But then the excitement quickly gave way to a total feeling of wellbeing.”

16 years after her first “Playboy” shooting, singer Michelle (53) also dropped the covers as a repeat offender. With the renewed shoot she wanted to encourage other women: “At the age of 50 I am more beautiful than ever. I think when you work on yourself and deal well with yourself, you can still look like me after several pregnancies and at 50 years,” said the singer in the title interview. The most important thing is, of course, that you feel comfortable. “The woman today can simply be a lot more woman. She can live herself, show her body, be revealing. She no longer has to hide. I think that’s great, after all, people are born naked. It is the most normal thing for me to show themselves as God created one.”

1999, 2019 and 2023: Actress Tanja Lanaeus (53) showed himself naked on the cover of the German edition of the men’s magazine for the third time. She considered the nude photos for the September edition 2023 as a statement against the age discrimination of women, as she said: “It is important to me that you can show when you feel comfortable – no matter how and no matter what age.” She made all three photo shoots for herself. “I love these pictures of myself and my development as a woman.”

At the age of 66, Désirée Nick (68) dropped the covers for the “Playboy” and adorned the cover of the October edition in 2023. “I would like to show with the photos for the ‘Playboy’ that the perception of women in the middle of life and in the second half of life has changed massively,” emphasized the cabaret artist, actress and author. “You have to throw clichés overboard. Half of the women actually start to bloom from 50,” she said. For them, the shoot is an “act against ageism”, ie against discrimination against old people.

Shortly before Sarah Kern (57) from January 2024 in Australia around the jungle crown in the RTL program “I am a star – get me out of here!” Fight, in the end it was only enough for eleventh place, the German-Danish designer was given a great honor: at the age of 55 she adorned the February edition of the German “Playboy” as a cover star.

“I am glad that I can send this message now, because as a young woman I was not so confident,” said Sarah Kern in an interview about the cover. It was not her first “Playboy” appearance: the then 30-year-old was already seen in the magazine in October 2000. However, she described the latest pictures as “much horny,” said Kern. “I am the best version of Sarah today – and that’s one that I couldn’t know it at the time.” Today she is “much stronger and more confident”.

“Good times, bad times” fans know you as a lively and humorous Yvonne Bode, wife of Dr. Jo Gerner (Wolfgang Bahro, 64). In June 2024, actress Gisa Zach (50) showed a new page of herself: at the age of 50, she adorned the cover of the “Playboy”.
