in Fact, it was so strained that the 51-year-old television personality did not participate in the funeral.
It tells Timm Vladimir in an episode of the Radio4 programme ‘The last meal’, where the host Lark Gardiner each week, invite a well-known dane to the table, among other things, to talk about the life you have lived.
“I was at the recording of ‘Bagedysten’, when he died, so I had it such that if he were buried a day when I was at home, and then I would come to the funeral, but if I was recording, I would not get to postpone it,” says the 51-year-old tv host in the program.
as Fate would have it, his father’s funeral fell on one of those days, where Timm Vladimir was on the recording, and therefore, he was not.
Timm Vladimir tells, however, also in the program, to the father prior to his death lay in a coma in the hospital. When the tv host was told about this, he was on vacation in Mexico, but broke off with the same, the journey to take home and see his father for it, that would be the last time – even if the two at that time had not seen each other for some years.
To see his father lying in a hospital room in the respirator provoked, however, not quite the feelings, as he had expected.
“The only thing I could think was: If one day I is located in the ventilator and is about to die, and my son is standing and looking at me and thinking what I’m thinking right now, so I will eddermame feel that I have wasted my life completely,” says Timm Vladimir.
In the program share Timm Vladimir several anecdotes from his childhood and youth. A time that was characterized by the fact that his parents got him when they were just 17 and 19 years old and went from each other, while he was still a small child. A time that, according to the 51-year-old tv host was influenced by the fact that his father was an alcoholic who could not manage to have a family.
Although Timm Vladimir has numerous stories of being dragged around pubs in Copenhagen as a child, and about how the father smoke joints over the heads of him and her younger sister, when the two were on a visit, he makes, however, one thing clearly.
Namely, that he is convinced that his father did the best he could, but simply unable to be a father and had family too early. He stresses that he has lots of good memories from his childhood, and that he is sure that the father always acted in the best faith – it was just not good enough.
Timm Vladimir is the father to the son, Cassius of 10 years, which he has together with his wife, author Katrine Engberg.
