BILD.DE-Video Interview Bill Kaulitz 23/11/2009

Bill Kaulitz, frontman of mega-band Tokio Hotel, always attracted attention by his flamboyant styling. Recently more than before ...

Dark made-up eyes, perfectly painted artificial nails: the 20 years old explains his style in the BILD interview and talks about his new movie "Arthur und die Minimoys 2" and about his first kiss.

With his 10 cm high heels he's nearly 2 heads higher than the BILD editor.



"I've grown a bit, I'm now 1.88 m" he says while posing for the mutual photo which then was rather taken while sitting.

"And with that I wear high heels now!". And not only that: his hair as Mohican, clothes from Christian Dior and Rick Owens (the rocker's fav designer, Madonna wears the brand of the US-designer), a lot of silver jewelry around his neck and leather gloves. The young man knows how to stage himself.

BILD.de: Bill, do you decide yourself what to wear?

Bill: "Yes, of course. From the beginning it was important for me to have the freedom to wear what I want. The biggest piece of freedom is my own body. I want to decide myself how I want to look. To have a stylist who hands me everything is my biggest horror. I couldn't ever bear it. For me it's important to feel good and that I'm not bored."

BILD.de: Were you always so self-confident or did you start to emancipate yourself with time?

Bill: "On our first meeting with the label they wanted to impose a stylist on us and tell me how to do my hair. That was the first thing I canceled. I was 14 that time. So there've been discussions from the beginning."

BILD.de: Do you spend much money on fashion?

Bill: "If my clothes cost much or not is totally unimportant. Back then I didn't have much allowance and sewed my clothes myself, I still do this now and then. Or I draw something and let someone tailor it. I partly wear jackets that cost 10 EUR. Important is, it looks awesome!"

BILD.de: What others say about your styling doesn't matter to you?

Bill: "There've been times with Tokio Hotel I couldn't hear the name anymore. I couldn't look at my own face, hair, everything. And I couldn't take offence if they thought alike. Then it's time to change something. To present oneself different."

BILD.de: Do you think you're beautiful?

Bill: "I'm not someone who stands in front of a mirror and says: 'Boah, you're such a dish!' Though many people believe that I do this. Of course, if other people say that I'm good looking it makes me happy. Oneself considers it differently though." [the last part is bad, something along the lines 'you think differently about yourself in this case']

BILD.de: How much time do you need in the morning?

Bill: "I need around 1 hour for showering, dressing and make-up until I'm styled completely. But there are also days when I don't style myself. Going to the airport with this hair (points to his Mohican) would be a bit straining. So I'm completely not made up and wear a cap. At home I wake up, wear a jogging suit and put myself unshaved in front of the TV - like everyone else."

BILD.de: In "Arthur und die Minimoys 2" you dub the main character again. He experiences his 1st kiss ...

Bill: "Yes, to dub something like that in the vocal booth you kiss your own hand to make it sound real. This isn't as romantic as it hopefully is in the movie."

BILD.de: When was your 1st kiss?

Bill: "I was 9 or 10 years old. Tom and I actually had the same girl. He kissed her 1 day earlier than me. My turn was one day after. It was awful. I think the first kiss isn't nice for anyone. I found it horrible back then. The 2nd kiss was better."

BILD.de: Do you want to conquer Hollywood next?

Bill: "Until now there wasn't the right role for me yet. I think it's very hard to act. Though I have a little bit experience from music vids but acting a whole movie is something different. But if there's the right thing I surely can imagine doing it. Vampire movies are my most fav movies. My childhood dream would come true if I could act in one."

Bill Kaulitz in the next "Twilight" movie? Anyhow, the teen star already has the fitting style.
