Evelien de Bruijn: age will play less of a role on TV | TV

entertainment">Former colleagues Selma van Dijk (51) and Gallyon van Vessem (52) had to leave in 2019 at heart of the Netherlands, because Talpa wanted younger faces for the SBS6 program. De Bruijn, who can still be seen in the news program, thinks that age has started to play a less and less important role on TV.

entertainment">“More and more people who are getting older are very visible on television, in fact: they are experiencing heyday. For example, I mention Janny van der Heijden and Patty Brard. And I prefer to measure that.”

entertainment">The presenter says there is no age limit to make television. “In general, I think people get more beautiful as they get older. Not only outwardly, but especially inwardly and that can be seen on television. And I want to show that.”

entertainment">De Bruijn thinks that whatever TV channel it is, it’s all about content. “I have the idea that, at least in public broadcasting, little distinction is made in terms of age. And on the commercial channels, for example, Angela Groothuizen can be seen, she is also not the youngest and she can also be seen. I think if you are good and if you add something you will remain visible. In whatever form.”
