One Marjan appears to keep a close eye on Özcan. ‘You look a bit thinner, your cheeks are a bit sunken. Are you eating well? You shouldn’t work too much. Also think about your health and your children. All of that is much more important than work!’ she writes.
Özcan immediately agrees: ‘I’ve lost some weight, how sharp of you’, he responds. The weight loss of the writer turns out not to be voluntary. ‘That is due to the catering of the various broadcasters. Sometimes there is only vegetarian food. But I come from a hunting family. My genes can’t survive on green beans and arugula. So what it actually comes down to is that they are trying to starve me at the NPO.’
Özcan is confident that the kilos will soon be added again. ‘Luckily I’m going into a period without recordings again. Then I can eat well. I’m going to stir-fry unlimited at the Chinese first.’
