Graving At Life's Graveyard: Armin Rohde Unburies Secrets on Aging and Mortality
Unavoidable Circumstance Leaves Him with No Option But Survival - Life has no other option for him
Top Notch Banter
Veteran German actor Armin Rohde (70), a beloved sight on both the small and big screens, recently had an uncommon chat about life, death, and everything in between, labeled "here lies his truth" - appropriately held on a cemetery.
Death Has Lured Rohde For Aeons
This morbid subject has been looming around Rohde since the tender age of 12, as he recounts to the infamous German tabloid, Bild am Sonntag. Losing his favorite uncle set the grim tale in motion, marked by the passage of friends and family members in the years to follow. "Nowhere else can one come more face-to-face with one's own mortality than at a cemetery," declares the thespian. The stark reminder of contemporaries sharing the same soil is a sobering pill to swallow.
Rohde professes no desire to kick the bucket, but he's far from petrified of it. "Seventy? Can't say I've wrapped my head around it. It's like some sneaky bastard's been robbing my time bank these past years." Life, he claims, is the only option, and death can wait its turn. Time is the enemy, but Rohde intends to make sure every second counts, particularly with his loved ones.
"I ain't got a beef with death, but it ain't here yet," Rohde quips. "I stare it down right here on this graveyard, and that makes it a manageable beast. After all, we are finite creatures." Rohde's on-set and off-screen passions extend to photography, and his tools were in tow as he spoke about life, death, and his artistic endeavors.
