Feeling like I've been transported through the decades: Aging at half the speed of life for me, apparently.

German actor Uwe Ochsenknecht, now 68, has wisdom to share but knows when to step back and let his offspring live their lives. In an interview with "Gala", he shared his approach, "I've made an effort to support them, offering assistance and advice. Eventually, I realized they no longer needed or wanted it. So, I advised them: Live your life, be content, my home is always open." Uwe and ex-wife Natascha are parents to three adult children: Wilson Gonzalez, Jimi Blue, and Cheyenne Savannah. From a previous relationship, he has a son named Rocco Stark.

July saw Uwe become a grandfather for the fifth time, as reported by "Gala". He humbly remarked, "I'm losing count. It's heartwarming when they call out: 'Grandpa, over here.' Yet, I instantly feel 50 years older."

Even as his grandchildren affectionately call him "Grandpa," Uwe respects their desires for independence. "Live your life, be content, my home is always available" is his common advice. In his past, as a father figure managing oxen (metaphorically speaking), he was always there to help and advise his children.
