| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | When I was around 15, I did my first movie. I was at a kids’ agency, and the third time I was invited to an audition, they offered me a little part in some kiddie thing, and I earned my first money. I was very proud that I could buy my first mountain bike with my own money. |
| 2 | I live between Barcelona and Berlin. Staying in Spain over the winter and Berlin for spring and summer is an ideal combination. |
| 3 | I was lucky to start working when German cinema was having an interesting moment. Now the quality is going downhill again because they’re insisting on doing comedies. |
| 4 | When I was a kid, we all knew who Niki Lauda was. He was a hero, a living legend in Germany. Everybody knows him. And he’s still very present on TV because he’s commenting for Formula One. |
| 5 | I have one car that works; it’s fast and safe: an Audi 5. And I have two old cars that never work: an old Peugeot convertible, and an Alfa Romeo Giulia. |
| 6 | Well, my first languages are German and Spanish because I was brought up by a Spanish mother and a German father, so I always spoke both languages at home. I’m very thankful that I was brought up in a bilingual house. |
| 7 | I enjoy passing time in my house. I’ll get up, head out on the terrace, think about what to do, fool around oiling the floorboards or hanging pictures askew. |
| 8 | I always try to start my weekend by running on the beach, which is great fun here in Barcelona. |
| 9 | Eating is my main hobby now, and most of what I do on the weekend revolves around that. |
| 10 | A dream my girlfriend and I have is to move to New York for a year or two because we just love the city. I would take some acting classes. |
| 11 | [on owning the ‘Bar Raval’ in Berlin-Kreuzberg] My cooking skills are not the best. That’s why I decided to open a restaurant. I have some great chefs and professional cooks who do very, very good Spanish food, Spanish tapas in Berlin. Still far away from a Michelin star.[2015] |
| 12 | We Germans should know that we’re good at constructing cars and we have a lot of good qualities. But we’re not the funniest. |
| Fact | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Is fluent in English, French, Spanish and German. |
| 2 | Brühl, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tilda Swinton, Marion Cotillard, Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks and Jake Gyllenhaal are the only actors to receive a Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA and Critics’ Choice Award nomination for the same performance and then fail to be Oscar-nominated for it: for their performances in Rush (2013), The Departed (2006), We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), Rust and Bone (2012), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), Captain Phillips (2013) and Nightcrawler (2014), respectively. |
| 3 | Living in Berlin, Germany. [2007] |
| 4 | Broke Will Smith’s world record for most public appearances on the red carpet in 12 hours together with Jürgen Vogel by attending the premiere of their movie Ein Freund von mir (2006) in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Cologne (22 October 2006). |
| 5 | Being a pacifist, he was a conscientious objector and did civilian service. |
| 6 | Has a brother and a sister. |
| 7 | Started his acting career at the age of 4 when he frightened his mother by playing a dead man or fainting theatrically. |
| 8 | Jessica Schwarz gave him the nickname “Gollum” because he looks like the character on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) when he wakes up in the morning. |
| 9 | Was born in Barcelona to a Spanish mother and a German father. Said in an interview that the reason he was born in Spain was that his mother didn’t trust German hospitals and the family returned to Cologne soon after his birth. He spent a lot of his summers in Barcelona though. |
| 10 | Grew up in Cologne, Germany. |
| 11 | He was raised trilingual (German, Catalan and Spanish). |
| 12 | 2003: Named as one of European films’ Shooting Stars by European Film Promotion. |
| 13 | Was formerly engaged to Jessica Schwarz from 2001 to 2006. |
| 14 | Used to be in a band called Purge, he was the singer. |
| 15 | Daniel’s father was German director Hanno Brühl, who was born in São Paulo, Brazil. Daniel’s mother is Spanish. |
