Dimitris Kouroumbalis who started his career at a young age from the very successful series “Ten Minute Sermon” does not give interviews very often, let alone talking about his personal life and his now 7-year-old daughter.

The actor, on the occasion of the show “The Robbery of Calamity” in which he stars, spoke to the show “Kalytera Arga” and Athenais Nega, revealing that he has a phobia of death and loss:

“I’ve calmed down a lot about death. When I was young, I had two close losses, one after the other in my family. Losses of close relatives. I was shaken, I was very afraid and this fear remained for many years”

“Now things are much softer. You can’t prepare for a loss. This year I lost my dog ​​and although I knew for a long time that this would happen, I practiced loss. Morning exercise loss.

I did exercises, but I couldn’t do anything. When the event came, while it was very mildly escalating, I couldn’t stand it. My knees were cut. So if, with an animal that I know is going to leave and I have a close relationship, I can’t prepare myself, much less for other more deeply tied relationships.”

Then the conversation turned to his personal life with Dimitris Kouroumbalis revealing unknown things about his relationship with his daughter and his own attitude as a father:

“We always wake up at 5:30 in the morning, my child is an early bird. He sleeps at 8:30, we have the night for our party and he sleeps at 8:30. So I identify with different social groups and professions. So at 12 I want the first beer, it’s like that. So that’s what I’m going to talk about, I’m going to share with people. Now things are better”

– What are you doing so early in the morning?

“I have a fast pulse. Why am I up so early? I’m a morning person but I was at 7:30 of 8. And when at night I’ve finished the rehearsal at 12:30 and I’ve gone to sleep at half past one because I can’t “switch off” right after, so 4 hours of sleep for a day that’s 18 hours ahead of her, it’s a bit.

Even if I was asleep at 11, at 5:30 it would still get on my nerves but in a way it is also a field of contact. She tells me that I am this character, I wake up at this time my boy, you don’t wake up. You must somehow understand that I am a different creature from you. So there we enter a new struggle, a relationship building.

What impresses me is that he takes things that belong to me and my wife and relatives, which we cannot recognize as having them. I’m meeting a new person and it’s a very exciting journey. And a man I can’t choose when I’ll see him”

-Would you like to have yourself as a dad?

“Now what are you asking me… A 60-40. 60% yes and 40% no. I also have a percentage that I am not as I would like to be. I’m losing my temper, I’m shouting..”

– Were our parents like that too?

“No relationship. I think there is a bigger relationship, a closer relationship. I have common references with my daughter. When I was growing up we had a TV, I watched children’s series. We had a fight with my parents to watch TV. My parents growing up didn’t have that kind of childhood. I can somehow understand what she feels when I turn off the TV for her.

I understand this inner tension of hers. I can tell her that I know she’s upset and that I’m breaking her but I’m doing it for him and for that reason and that’s a relationship, not control. This conversation with our own parents was not happening. It was all protocol. You couldn’t be naughty because he didn’t like you.”
