Gent 70 he is this spring, but with his energy and eivolle calendar does actor and director Bob De Moor think of a boy. Next week he is with two pieces on the boards in Ghent, and in the spring he plays a roll of film. “How I can? The game keeps me young.”
‘Bob De Moor? That of Home, and Family ?’ For the general public is The Moor not the theaterdier that he is already 50 years old, but the television actor of the Most popular soap operas. Bothers him that not?
The Moor : “Well, no. I always like found. Besides, there was always a good thing, because I was well paid. So I could do the things that I do with my theater wanted to do, easier to run, because I had no money with it ( laughs ). And the awareness of the general public shows in the ticket sales.”

You chose the most beautiful profession in the world, but also for a hondenstiel?
“It is a fantastic craft! And I always have my sandwich earned. Did you know that I’m up to my 35th snotneuzen played 16 years because I’m so young-looking? ( laughs ) But I have a lot sooo beautiful work had – also in Ghent, where there are still rebellious initiatives arose, such as of Eric De Volder and Arne Sierens.
