is considered one of the most popular comedians in Poland. Privately, he is in an informal relationship with his colleague, Violetta Kołakowska, with whom he has two children: 16-year-old Lena and 11-year-old Leon. Although he feels fulfilled as a father, his parenting was full of challenges and difficult moments.
Karolak’s daughter wanted to be called by a male name. What does the actor say?
In an interview for the podcast, Tomasz Karolak made a personal confession. His daughter Lena one day wanted everyone to call her by a male name. It was a real shock for the parents. According to the actor, the situation changed when she started attending a new school. – She went to this military school and found discipline there, which is missing in an art school. She found love and stopped being Marcel because she was Marcel for a while. She had previously wondered about her identity. It was hard, I won’t say so.
Karolak recalls his daughter’s teenage rebellion. Lena lost herself in the virtual world
During the pandemic, Lena, like most students, took classes remotely, which meant she spent most of her time online. This made her start to discover previously unknown corners of the virtual world, in which she quickly became completely immersed. – She was a cosplayer, following the trend of manga and all that, where there are no heterosexual characters and everyone is very open. During the pandemic, she entered this very dangerous world, he said. – Lena’s expeditions were very difficult and once we even ended up in hospital because they took 26 Apapas. It was a cry of “Notice me.” She went along with the gang. A traumatic situation, he recalled, adding that he faced quite a challenge.
He felt that as a father he had to react before it was too late, but he didn’t know how to do it. – Now the rebellion of young people is that my daughter tells me “I am not your daughter, I am your son.” “React to it,” he continued. Karolak’s words show, however, that his daughter has already closed this period in her life. – No matter how deep my daughter was in all this, she came out of it so quickly – he said.
