Post Joepie nr. 6 (Bélgica): Kaulitz Look-a-likes on TH FM

Kaulitz Look-a-likes on TH FM

Belgian teen magazine Joepie interviews Tim and Kaï Lück, brothers and Kaulitz look-a-likes.

"We often get beaten up in school"

On Saturday, 24th of January, the Belgian TH Fanclub Tokio Hotel Action Channel (THAC) organised a fanmeeting in Antwerp. Around 100 TH-fans came to the Central Station. Among the fans: Tim and Kai, 2 Dutch diehard fans who daily dress up as Tom and Bill. 'We came all the way from Landgraaf (The Netherlands)', says Kai/Bill. 'After all, we are the biggest fans'.

Interview:

Hello Tim and Kai! Or should we say Tom and Bill?
Tim: We may be Bill and Tom look-a-likes, but our names our still Tim and Kai.

Okay, Tim and Kai, tell us: why do you dress like the Kaulitz twins?
Tim: "We really are crazy about them. We're the biggest Tokio Hotel fans you can imagine.
Kai: "We've seen them live over 40 times!"

Do people sometimes think you're the real Bill and Tom?
Kai: "It happens, yes. I'm being discriminated a lot. At school, for example. The principel made me sign a special contract because I look different than everyone else and I draw a lot of attention. If I'd do anything wrong, I'll be expelled. Other students also pick on me."

What do you mean?
Kai: "I regularly get beaten up at school."

Do you fight back?
Kai: "That's impossible. I can't do anything because they push me to the ground and hit me, sometimes 7 people at the same time.
Tim: "They once locked me up in a classroom."

Is it worth it?
Kai and Tim: "Of course! We're too big fans to give this all up!"
