Lucas van de Meerendonk smiles his acquaintance youth news-smile: one where the whole face participates. He talks about his girlfriend, photographer Shody Careman, who took the photos for this interview. She recently pointed out a child in town who was staring at him. Then Lucas is not the worst: you can take a picture with me, you know. “Of course it’s a bit embarrassing to offer that yourself, but such a child may not dare to ask.”
Your father says, “If he is recognized, he will talk to that child.”
‘All the time. I think it’s just part of it. It’s important that I be reachable, not someone who is aloof and arrogant. The same goes for interviews for the youth news. If I go to a child for that, it must really be an experience. I once wrote Jack van Gelder a letter, because I was a fan of his. He then called me. That made such an impression on me, I want to pass it on to others.’
