Günter Euringer He became a celebrity in the most unusual way. His seemingly simple work catapulted him to fame. But one day he no longer gave anything and decided to cut his losses. This is the story of the boy in the Kinder chocolate box.
The German, now in his 60s, worked throughout his adolescence and early youth as a model for the brand. He began to be the face of bars in 1973just five years after the product was launched on the market.
Deep blue eyes, excessively white teeth, a perfect hairstyle. All Millennial Kinder consumers vividly remember her face.
I’ve been a kindergartner for over 30 years
Euringer began working for Kinder at the age of ten. As the years went by, his face changed, which is why the company had to find a way to touch it up. For example, at one point they had to add fake ears because her hair covered them.
It’s been like this for 30 years. He was the face of Kinder until 2005, when she published her book The Schokolade guy in which he talks about his experiences as a child advertiser. In those pages he admits that he was ashamed of his physical appearance and that he did not like the chocolate he promoted so much.
In the early 2000s, people couldn’t stop speculating about his social standing. Since they knew nothing about him, it was said that his life had been ruined by his fame. That’s why he broke the silence through the book and parted ways with the company..
According to what he said, Kinder received 300 German marks in two parts for his memorable photo shoot.
What is your life?
As we read in one of the last notes on him, published in 2010 by HNA, Euringer married and had two children. He trained as an advertising and video photographer and lived in Haar, near Munich.
In 2005, when he stopped being the Kinder boy, his traces disappeared.
Kinder fans who noticed that his face had been replaced by that of another young man launched an initiative to bring Euringer back. They only made me do it for a special launch of the brand.
Until 2019, Kinder’s face was an Englishman in name Josh. It is known that she studied politics and international relations in her country and that she is now a celebrity on Instagram, where she has almost 100 thousand followers.
