Paul de Munnik: ‘I have seriously damaged a number of people’ | Stars

entertainment">In Faithful tells the former other half from Thomas Acda that he has a ‘pretty bad track record’ when it comes to infidelity. It is therefore a topic he would rather not discuss. “I have damaged a number of people and I still feel very guilty about that, but, as the English say: you can’t unscramble scrambled eggs.”

entertainment">De Munnik thinks he has made a ‘mess’ of it. “And I cannot forgive myself for that. It’s not like I beat myself up every day, but I just didn’t do it right. I do not want to say more about it. Not to avoid problems, but because I want to prevent myself from ever hurting others. ”

Lie

entertainment">It costs the musician, who will perform later this month with occasional band The Streamers and most recently his solo album III struggled to speak the truth. “I lied to my parents, I lied to my friends. (…) Fear of rejection. I quickly think: if I say it honestly, I will be a hassle and if I make something slightly different, I will probably get away with it. ”

entertainment">It is even worse when De Munnik tells a lie to friends or people close to him. “Because they wonder aloud: who are you actually? I’ve pushed loved ones away by not being completely honest. I want to get rid of that now, at the age of fifty. And I also try to propagate it. I say in advance: I really want to talk to you, but you have to know that I will be honest. I don’t beat around the bush anymore. ”
