Bjarne Mädel: Struggles to Keep Contact Lenses in His Eyes - Bjarne Mädel brings iconic glasses to *Stromberg – The Movie* this December

Actor Bjarne Mädel is set to hit German cinemas with 'Stromberg – The Movie' on December 4. Known for his natural use of glasses, he appreciates them as an extra prop on set. After its cinema run, the film will stream on Amazon Prime Video and later air on ProSieben.

Mädel, who plays the lead role of Eric Steffens, finds glasses attractive and not lacking in humor, unlike some of his co-stars' opinions. In the film, he is joined by Christoph Maria Herbst as Bernd Stromberg, Oliver Wnuk as Ulf Steinke, and Diana Staehly as Tanja Steinke, among others.

Despite his fondness for glasses, Mädel has faced challenges with contact lenses. After long shooting days, he's had trouble removing them, requiring assistance from his makeup artist and a colleague. Reflections caused by glasses can disrupt film shoots, but Mädel finds ways to work around this.

'Stromberg – The Movie' premieres soon, and fans can look forward to its streaming release on Amazon Prime and later on ProSieben. Bjarne Mädel's unique style with glasses, which earned him the 'Spectacle Wearer of the Year' title, will be a notable feature in the movie.
