Long-time Larissa wig user, Martina Hill, has been sporting the hairstyle for a quarter of a century.
Larissa: Martina Hill's Iconic Character
Let's dive into the wild, wacky world of Martina Hill's beloved character, Larissa. This larger-than-life personality has graced our screens for a jaw-dropping 25 years, thanks to a trusty wig that's been with her since day one.
"I just thought it was a swell look and a fantastic alternative to dyeing my hair," Hill told "TV Digital" in a juicy chat. And she didn't just rock the wig on set – before Larissa even became a household name, Hill was spotted at nightclubs flaunting the famous hairdo.
However, Hill admitted that, these days, she'd think twice about stepping out in public with the wig. In fact, donning the wig only enhances her recognition, the 50-year-old shared. Larissa first graced our screens on the satirical show "heute-show," hosted by Oliver Welke.
Larissa Takes Over the "heute-SHOWnal"
This summer, it's all about Larissa, as she steps into the limelight for an entire episode of "heute-SHOWnal: Larissa's Summer," airing on June 27 at 10:30 PM on ZDF. Get ready for the silly voice, duckface, bubblegum, and that long-haired wig that's reminiscent of a New Year's Eve party leftover.
During an exclusive interview with "TV Digital," Hill opened up about the aspects that make Larissa so unique. With her quirky, outlandish persona, Hill can say and do things she wouldn't dare in real life. "You just can't hate her," she said. Larissa's charm lies in her blend of fun, style, and education – she's a master of making complex topics seem simple with her seemingly dumb questions.
The Larissa Transformation
The transformation into Larissa, Hill's brainchild since the comedy show "Switch Reloaded," takes approximately three hours, according to the actress. "I need three tons of makeup, fake nails, loads of bling, and bubblegum," she confessed. The signature 25-year-old long-haired wig is another essential piece of the Larissa puzzle.
Despite Larissa's over-the-top appearance, which was designed to mock Gen Z rather than a specific individual, some people still don't view her as a fictional character. "I'm regularly astonished by how many people believe she's a real person," Hill shared.
