John Bachchan with a stunning face tattoo – unimaginable. Or?
Since 1992, the RTL soap “Good times, Bad times” flickers on the screens. A long time in which fans fell in love with the characters and amused them regularly. But what if one of the actors changed their look, got a bigger tattoo, or shaved their hair off their head?
Felix von Jascheroff (38) has played heartthrob John Bachhan for more than 20 years. A time in which he experienced much – and in which he had many colorful images under his skin. He tells Bild how the producers of the series reacted to it.

Just prick a gel tear under the eye or get a “bodysuit” tattooed, that’s not an option for GZSZ actors. Felix von Jascheroff says he has to agree on his tattoo in advance.
Actors on Build: “Luckily, my role is predetermined for it. They say nothing against it. But if I suddenly said that I would like to get my face tattooed – the production department will definitely say something.”

Because half measures are not an option for the 38-year-old, he even got himself tattooed in front of the cameras: “There was a scene in which I got three stars tattooed on my back. We actually recorded it and made it to GZSZ. That was twelve years ago.”
Were there any other obvious visual changes that were incorporated into the script?
Felix von Jascheroff: “The scene where I shaved my head. Nobody even knows. John was just left again, and that’s when I came up with this scene and wrote it myself. I just wanted to try a bald head and Wanted to get my hair cut in real life. I’ve been known for the fact that I always like to try things.”

According to the 38-year-old, he himself is the actor with the most hairstyles in GZSZ: “I already had everything – long hair, blonde hair, silver hair, bald head …”
And when the actor broke his thumb and had to wear a bandage, that was inherent in his role.

Has he ever had to gain or lose weight?
Felix von Jascheroff: “No one would dare do that to us. We’re not in America. Costumes say something. For example, yesterday my pants ripped.” (laughs)
