10 Things Actor Louis Hofmann Can't Live Without | 10 Essentials | GQ Germany

No other German actor of his generation has appeared in as many international films and series as Louis Hofmann. With his gift for showing the vulnerable and soft sides of multi-layered male characters, he is GQ's Man of the Year. In this edition of "10 Essentials", the star of "Dark", "All the Light We Cannot See" & "The Forger" shows the things he always carries with him when travelling. He divides his belongings into absolute "feel-good essentials" - including his beloved "Arri" hoodie - and far more practical items, such as the jar of "Strand Matte" that he has carried with him since puberty.
Find out why a travel bag from "The Northface" is so important to him, what nickname his family gave him as a child and what a perfect evening looks like for Louis Hofmann here ...

Unheimlich sympathisch und vor allem hat er Fleabag zitiert, das kann nur ein guter Mann sein :)

[@Elliotohyeah]

needed to watch twice, one for subtitles and one staring at him

[@walkfashionbaby1992]

Ohh you re soo Right ❤😂

[@montsemorningstar2340]

Those were the coolest and most authentic essentials I've seen in a long time, all the American actors or others have been ridiculously basic with their "books, tote bags, headphones" etc. They try too hard to be cool, and then this guy comes along and effortlessly shows very casual things and it makes him a thousand times cooler than the others, also very charismatic guy

[@strawberrycheesecake7321]

wow this is definitely the coolest 10 essentials i've ever seen. and you can feel that it's authentic. what a cool guy Louis Hofmann is

[@lordrobin20]

Ich sag’s euch, der Typ ist auf dem Weg eine Legende zu werden💯

[@cassandramalvasia3629]

👍👍👍👍

[@floraskott]

Dark war phänomenal gut. Ich freue mich wirklich für ihn, dass seine Karriere so gut läuft und er ein immer größeres Publikum begeistern kann. 😊

[@stillerevolution4488]

Wie unfassbar detailliert und schätzend Louis über so gewöhnlich erscheinende Dinge spricht, ist echt bemerkenswert. Da muss ich mir auf jeden Fall 'mal etwas von an- bzw. abschauen :)

[@JMBE21]

What an adorable human. Everytime I see Louis I'm enchanted by everything he shows.

[@loving_bubble9739]

Man muss ihn einfach lieb haben, unfassbar guter Schauspieler mit einer unvergleichlich liebevollen Ausstrahlung

[@callmebysila7692]

I couldn't stop smiling through the whole video. he is so sweet

[@fundudehere1]

he can talk to me all day

[@Pia-hu8tu]

I'm so in love with this man

Dark mega Serie gewesen

[@benny_lam]

Das erste mal habe ich ihn in Tom Sawyer im Kino gesehen :) danach wieder in Dark, scheint ein sehr sympathischer Mensch zu sein!

[@user_puk.]

This person is my biggest inspiration and crush at the same moment

[@KunstimHerzen]

I love it! 🤩

[@haninefz]

He’s so lovely

[@andrezalisboa169]

This guy is amazing

[@Mia-sb1bb]

Bin eine Fan seitdem er in Dark gespielt hat 😍 bin so glücklich dass er jetzt bekannter wird!!!

[@allennewborn936]

When he speaks English, the British accent he has is spectacular. I'm assuming that the German English courses are more British English rather than any other, such as American English, so, that's my guessing on why he's got a SUPER strong British accent when he speaks English, but it could also be him flexing his accent chops for potential roles? Who knows.

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

He's worked on at least one British film before and now he's living in London, so his English accent makes sense.

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

What an angelic looking young man he is.

[@washingtonsilva5020]

He's sooooo handsome ❤❤❤

[@Torsten87]

Nicer Typ!

[@Neuer_Alias_erstellen]

oh mein gott - einfach flashback 🤭

[@lotti4832]

weiß jemand zufällig, wo genau ich so ein Schachspiel herbekomme? find das Etui total schön :)

[@sophiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]

Louis und El Hotzo haben also beide die Strandmatte als Essential 😂

[@Robin-20]

Und Rin hatte sie auch in seinem Kulturbeutel😂

[@nadjazipfelfee6640]

Warum kannte ich ihn nicht? Er ist so sympathisch ❤

[@christineszlobodnik7814]

all the light we cannot see tv show is good!

[@lordrobin20]

Endlich Jungööööö, Macher Louis💯

[@lordrobin20]

7:32 Es kann kein Zufall sein, dass ich unmittelbar vor diesem Video Fleabag Clips geguckt habe.

[@eun-solkim7080]

He's a g for quoting fleabag

[@aaryaherlekar]

Does anyone know what chess set is it? It looks so good!

[@brandidogil4035]

Palo Santo! ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮

[@chels1025]

i agree with him that friends you can just sit tgt, play board games and chat are the best u can have haha

[@jsun0906]

er ist so cute ich sach euch wie's is

[@gissellest333]

I love this dude but I can't understand what he's saying, there are no subtitles. Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd, punk rock, 60s, 70s,….great taste in music. 👍🏻

[@stillerevolution4488]

you can turn on automatic subtitles in your language:)

[@GQGermany]

English subs are now available.

[@typicaltonii248]

You can tell he was definitely born in the wrong time. I wanna be his friend so bad lmao

[@user-wr7br5nl5v]

I have zero idea what he’s saying without subtitles but I keep watching this like more than 5 times. 🥳

[@layalk.7782]

thats literally me when I watch BTS without subtitles ahahaha

[@brandidogil4035]

I've understood some of it, but not much. Always fascinated with other languages due to my roots. I know German, possibly french is similar to Spanish in some ways 😅😅😅

[@RRisBackBitcheZz]

hes soooo cool

[@BeautifulMutant]

Could we get some better subtitles than the auto-generated ones please? They never work right.

[@GQGermany]

English subs are now available. Enjoy!

[@BeautifulMutant]

@@GQGermany Thank you very much! 😊

[@masteronionnorth2341]

OMG!!! Jonas wasn't erased from existence after all. He somehow was reborn into our reality as Louis Hoffman. 😲
This changes everything... 🤔

[@dingdong8623]

[@dumfriesspearhead7398]

Is Arri short for Arriflex?

[@lottemaes7175]

A simple watch on rist would be a better looking instead of all those rings and ears ..man aren't men these days

[@haukenot3345]

Yeah, cause what is more manly than complaining about another man's ear rings 😂. Why would you even care?

[@BeautifulMutant]

How exactly does some other guy wearing jewelry affect you?

[@stillerevolution4488]

Your comment screams fragile masculinity

[@BeautifulMutant]

@@stillerevolution4488 Right? If you ask me, if this guy feels his masculinity is threatened by other men not conforming to his idea of it, then he's doing it wrong.

[@gabriella8106]

È molto espressivo ,pur non essendo proprio bello rende gradevoli anche i suoi difetti ,spero che il fatto di essere gay nonlo spinga a tingersi le unghie,a mettere quelle tremende camicie trasparenti,insomma a non assumere atteggiamenti che a me sembrano sciocchini ,perderebbe fascino
anche se ne ha .molto.! Comunque sia, auguri Louis !
