Alex Kristan

Alex Kristan has turned 50, or as the optimist in him says: "The first third of life is over." And because his thirst for action is still greater than the nightly urge to urinate, he is using this "round" birthday as an opportunity to gift himself a new solo program. After all, when you suddenly find yourself in the 50+ target group as a so-called Best Ager, only humor can help against the lead in your legs and the silver in your hair.

Apparently, 50 is supposed to be the new 30. Or does that only apply to the local area? Even if 10 PM is the new midnight, the new skincare doesn’t necessarily have to be Voltaren instead of Nivea. It still pays off to buy long-life milk. Crafting diet plans, dyeing hair, whitening teeth—these are all things for pop-up seniors who see cabbage funding as a detox cure. His motto, however, is: "Being reasonable is like being dead, just earlier," and he brings the snotty kids back to life.

At exactly that turning point in life, which plays out between looking well-groomed and being well-groomed, one wonders whether everything was really better back then, and if so, why not? Shortsightedness is now compensated with foresight, and as long as the cake is still more expensive than the candles on it, you’re not old anyway.

Alex Kristan's alter egos naturally accompany him on this journey and stand by him with advice and assistance when it comes to the truly essential questions in the life of a man in supposedly the best age. It’s a start-up into a new life phase, where gout or truth is played.

And the truth is, he is 42 net, excluding VAT. Aging is something very beautiful, especially considering the alternative.
