Bill Kaulitz Olsen. Bill Kaulitz: personal life

Presenter:"I hate sex with groupies and I'm afraid of assassination attempts" - with these open statements we were surprised by the frontman of the successful worldwide band Tokio Hotel Bill Kaulitz.

In Oberhausen, four Magdemurians make a stop on their tour. There is already a familiar situation: thousands of screaming fans. State of emergency!
So what price should the guys pay for their incredible success? Tokio Hotel told David Moterad and Bettina Fitsche about this.

Bettina: How often does Bill Kaulitz have sex?

Bill: For all last years I didn't have a single girl in my room, nothing at all.

Bettina: What is it like to be constantly afraid of assassination attempts?

Volume: This, of course, is such a thing that we kind of can’t live without or can’t even imagine how it is when there are no people who hate us.

Bettina: And how do the guys handle it? Not a single step goes unnoticed and you can’t do without protection.

Bill: You need to consider whether you are ready to live in this way. We have it so.

Bettina: We met with Tokio Hotel and got honest answers to very personal questions.

On Friday night, more than 11,000 fans were waiting in the Arena Oberhausen for the object of their desire, Bill Kaulitz. A sparkling mix of warrior, angel and alien is out of this world anyway. A couple of small dance moves were enough to bring the audience into ecstasy. When he sings about great love, except for squeals, little is heard.
Bill sings about what he himself no longer experiences. Falling in love, having a girlfriend, from the very beginning of their worldwide success, he forgot about it. The last time he was in love was when he was 14 years old, that is. 6 years ago. Does that mean he can say goodbye to sex?

Bill: I haven't had a girlfriend in recent years. And a year ago... I'll say this, I have to really fall in love in order to constantly spend time with someone and let me into my apartment or tour bus and all that.
(Tom laughs.)
Bill: What's happened?
Volume: There is nothing.
Bill:…I need to fall in love. And so sex after a concert with someone who is in the front row is not even considered by me.
Voice-over: What would happen if...
Volume(interrupts): for me it's just the opposite actually!

Bettina: With the twin Tom, things go completely differently. At the same time, many girls are interested in Tom more as a pop star than as a person.

Volume: It's just a little fun for us. In the end, don't care if she thinks you're a good person, which she obviously can't because she doesn't know you. Or because she only saw you on TV. But now I don't care!
Bill: And besides, of course, we have...
Volume(interrupts and turns to Bill): It's only about physical contact, something you don't understand at all!
Bill: Yes.
Bettina: The rejection of love is not the only sacrifice for a successful worldwide career.

Bill has bad memories (literally experience here!) And he even fears for his life. Security was supposed to pull people disguised as fans and armed with knives from the red carpet.

Bill: Stories like people with knives and stuff happened at the very beginning of our career. Then I was about 16. Yes, 4 years have passed, but a person grows up with this, and you don’t know how it is - differently.

Bettina: Only indoors, behind closed doors, Bill feels safe.

Trying on costumes at the beginning of the week. With him are only his bandmates and the design duo Dsquared, who designed these space outfits.

Bill: Whoosh, Pati!

Bettina: A relaxed and fearless moment. It's very risky for Bill and the others to appear in the public eye.

Bill: Once, I think, in Los Angeles, we already had such a situation. Then one of the fans ran onto the stage and tried to drag Tom down from the stage. Also, it can happen on the red carpet or at performances with a lot of artists.

Bettina: The French gang of girls pursued their idols for several months. Last year, the situation escalated at the gas station. The girl molested Tom, he lost his temper and hit her. This week it became known that Tom must pay a fine of 1,000 euros and apologize. Case is closed. This can happen to all artists, but as Tokio Hotel themselves say, they have always had more enemies than everyone else since their school days.

Volume: This, of course, is such a thing that we kind of can’t live without or can’t even imagine how it is when there are no people who hate us. To some extent, we even need it. But of course, this is to be feared.

Bettina: Guys love to get attention. And the fact that in Germany they are still considered a teenage band makes Bill nervous.

Bill: Once there was a poll in the street, in which passers-by played snippets of songs from our new album and they really liked them. When they were told that this was Tokio Hotel, they immediately said: "well, yes, after all, I don't really like it."

Bettina: this does not happen in other countries. After 2 concerts in Germany they go to Moscow, Madrid, Rome, Paris. Tokio Hotel achieved worldwide success, which is very rare for German musicians. But their life goes beyond the usual living standards. Drink coffee or go shopping, for Bill it's unimaginable.

Bill: Maybe after the store closes. Well, or if there is a shopping center ... Or they will have to close everything. This often happens. We often go to the cinema too, but then the cinema is closed, and we go there after closing.

Leading: Are bodyguards always with you?

Bill: One guard is always with us, that's for sure, but more often than not. But I would not dare to go out now without a bodyguard in any case.

Bettina: Money, success, fame, all this is really expensive.

Bill: You should always be ready to give something in return. It's impossible to have everything. It is impossible to have a private life, a girlfriend, such things don't just happen. You have to accept it and deal with it. You have to give everything for it.

Bettina: Bill and Tom are now 20 years old. For 10 years they have been in business, for 5 years they have been stars and today they are world stars. Their life rushes at high speeds, it is equally difficult in both positive and negative moments. No financial worries, millions of fans are always with them. For this - fear for their own lives.

Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel confesses everything in a letter posted on the SheKnows website. The 25-year-old German singer, who reported the letter on Instagram and Twitter, has decided to be open about his sexual orientation. The first and important step in which he admitted: there are no restrictions in love. And even if he didn't want to, he had to explain himself. The phrase "Bill Kaulitz is gay" has accompanied him since his debut in the music world.

Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel's homosexuality has been talked about on the Internet and in music circles for several years now, arousing curiosity among his many fans who follow him on Facebook. In this touching letter, the tattoo-addicted German artist reveals unknown aspects of his private life.

Tokio Hotel's vocalist explains in his letter: "As a child, I always dreamed of finding the great love of my life. My twin brother Tom never understood the latter. He didn't give a damn about it. My friends sometimes laugh at me and almost everyone I know , they think that such love, which I believe in, happens only in fairy tales. But I was also betrayed, deceived, used. However, I still believe in magic, in great love that happens once in a lifetime. People like to classify everything and label everything," Bill said, "even sexual preference and love. Especially in the industry I'm in. I feel like people just go crazy because they can't tell who's in my bed: a woman or man That's why I've been getting asked the same "Are you gay or not?" question ever since I was 13 and started doing interviews."

All these phrases of the vocalist are reminiscent of the words of the British swimmer Tom Daly, when he confessed to his unconventional orientation last year: before that, he first said that in love for him there was no difference between men and women, and then became an open homosexual. News of Bill Kaulitz's letter quickly spread throughout in social networks. Now many of his fans are wondering: Is Bill gay or bisexual? Most likely, very soon we will learn something else. The fact remains that all the confessions from celebrities in the world of music, cinema, television and sports are very useful and meaningful for all homosexuals who are victims of homophobia, bullying and ignorance every day.

Each of his stage appearances was accompanied by their enthusiastic cries and it was hard to believe that there were not so many novels in Bill Kaulitz's personal life.
