Newswire From a news agency New plan
  • René Dost, the 57-year-old restaurateur and influencer known as “Redo,” will enter the Promi Big Brother container.
  • Dost said his biggest challenge would be losing control and access to his phone while managing his 41 business areas from outside.
  • The new season begins on October 5 and also includes former boxer Axel Schulz and other public figures.

René Dost is used to making decisions every day and staying constantly reachable. In the Promi Big Brother container, he will have to manage without both control and a mobile phone.

My biggest fear is actually that more chaos will break out in my 41 business areas outside than inside the container.

· René DostHe described his concern about leaving his businesses while taking part in the reality show.

The 57-year-old Brandenburg restaurateur and influencer, known as “Redo,” told dpa that his biggest fear was not what would happen inside the container, but the possibility that his 41 business areas would descend into greater chaos outside it.

“Suddenly having no control and no mobile phone will probably be the toughest test for me,” Dost said. He also wants viewers to see more than the loud, flamboyant character familiar from the internet.

“My worst case would be that viewers see only the loud Redo and not the person René behind him,” he said. Dost became known through his XXL restaurant chain and now has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. He hopes the show will reveal the heart, life experience and genuine feelings behind his energy.
