Well? What is “OC, California” star Mischa Barton doing in the German Bundestag? This is the question some fans of the cult series may have asked themselves on Thursday (September 5th) when they discovered the actress in the Instagram story of a well-known CDU politician.
We’re talking about former Health Minister Jens Spahn, who gave Barton an exclusive tour of the Reichstag building. But how did this unusual meeting of Hollywood glamour and German politics come about?
Series star Mischa Barton visits the Bundestag
Actress Mischa Barton is visiting Berlin. Of course, a trip to one of the city’s most famous buildings is a must. Together with CDU parliamentary group vice-chair Jens Spahn, the 38-year-old went on an exploratory tour of the Bundestag on Thursday. Visibly excited by the prominent visit, the politician then shared some insights on Instagram.
In one photo, the American can be seen in a lively conversation with Jens Spahn. What exactly the two discussed is not clear from the story. “Today I had a special guest in the German Bundestag. For once, it wasn’t about politics,” the 44-year-old simply wrote under one post.
How do Jens Spahn and the Hollywood beauty know each other?
Admittedly, at first glance, the Hollywood star and the former minister seem like an unlikely duo. “He must have got the front door wrong,” joked one follower under the post. But apparently the two have a lot in common in their private lives. As “Bild.de“ reports that the visit came about through mutual friends. According to the report, Barton is currently in Berlin for the Lollapalooza music festival, among other things.
The actress promptly used her free time in the capital to further her education. “This morning I took a tour of the Bundestag in Berlin with Jens Spahn – thank you!” the TV actress subsequently wrote on Instagram.
