In the end, Hendrik Duryn (56), who was singing below, only managed third place. But even after the show, the actor is by no means sad about his defeat. Instead, he reflects on the good times: That’s what it really was like Hendrik as a “Masked Singer” Mustang.
When the 56-year-old was first informed about his role as a wild horse, he was amazed.

[…] And that was the purpose of the exercise,” emphasized Hendrik last.
