Diego Pooth is best known for being the offspring of none other than Verona Pooth – a prominent figure in the German entertainment scene.
Reaching New Heights
Being the son of a celebrity may have opened some doors for Diego, but his accomplishments are certainly not inheritable. For example, his exceptional talent on the golf course led him to join the Meerbusch Golf Club at a tender age. His natural skill paired with unwavering discipline transformed him into a golf pro. Furthermore, Diego has made waves in the business world by founding a startup focusing on dietary supplements. When he spoke with RTL, he shared, "It's a groundbreaking project. I've been working on it for a year and a half with a renowned nutrition scientist. It's going to be pretty mind-blowing."
Stepping out of his Comfort Zone
With his athletic background, Diego Pooth is expected to bring a healthy dose of competition to "Let's Dance". He acknowledges that he'll need to leave his comfort zone to impress the judges. He said, "I'll make up for any lack of dance experience with intense training and military-like discipline. My dance partner is going to have her work cut out for her, but I can't wait to get started!"
