Actor Katerina Jacob pondering potential acting retirement?
Actress Katerina Jacob, 67, known for her role in "Bulle von Tölz," has faced another health crisis. After a strenuous filming schedule and the loss of her dog, she developed shingles due to stress. This has prompted Jacob to reconsider her demanding acting career.
The actress, who faced public ridicule over her "big nose" at the start of her career, has shared her concerns about her taxing job in an interview with Bunte. She revealed the physically challenging shoots, the deteriorating health of her dog Sweet, and her own health worries as factors that have taken a toll on her.
Jacob has revealed that some scenes with complex texts had to be shot up to twenty times. Additionally, three points were found in her right breast during her annual cancer check-up, which later proved to be harmless. However, the high workload, concern for her health, and the loss of her beloved pet seemed to be too much for the actress.
Rumors are swirling that Jacob might be stepping away from the competitive acting industry. She has stated her intention to reduce her shooting time to 11 hours a day, acknowledging that even this is long. Jacob's health issues have also affected her personally. She revealed in an interview with gala.de earlier this year that her thyroid problems led to significant weight gain. A specialist team is now working to help her manage her weight and dietary restrictions.
Jacob has also faced health challenges in the past, with a "blood pressure of 360 to 270" at one point. However, the specific details about her current health status and retirement plans are not yet publicly known.
