“Supertalent” juror Anna Ermakova was persecuted by the press as a child and is now taking on her famous father Boris Becker in her documentary.
Cologne – At “Let’s Dance” 2023, Anna Ermakova (23) danced her way into the hearts of the audience and to victory.
Previously, at least in this country, she was mainly known as the illegitimate daughter of Boris Becker (56), who was conceived in the widely ridiculed “broom closet affair”.
The fact that she looked incredibly similar to her father even as a small child certainly contributed to the fact that she was never forgotten afterward that she was the tennis star's daughter.
“Often wished to come from a 'normal' family”: Anna Ermakova settles accounts with Boris Becker
Because she managed to win over the audience's sympathy on “Let's Dance,” Anna Ermakova, who in one respect says she is truly German, has gained a bit of her own identity.
Precisely because she decided to appear even more in public, she was able to free herself to some extent from her image as Boris Becker's "slip-up".
At least as a child, she was anything but happy about all the attention she received, as the 23-year-old reveals in her own documentary “Absolut Anna Ermakova,” which will be broadcast on RTL on February 17, 2024.
As “bild.de” reports, the current “Supertalent” juror tells how she was besieged by the press.
Even if her grandmother had walked her to the school bus, photographers would have hidden in the trees to take pictures of the Becker sprout.
“I often wished I had come from a 'normal' family,” says Anna about her famous father.
“Nobody knew who I really am”: This is how Anna Ermakova suffered in her childhood
Despite all the attention, Anna Ermakova apparently never had the feeling that it was really about her.
“Nobody knew who I really was.
I had the feeling that many people already had a preconceived opinion of me.
“I also had the feeling that people wanted to see me fail,” Bild quotes her as saying in the documentary.

At least that may have changed recently, because since her “Let's Dance” victory and her subsequent engagement as a “Supertalent” juror, the 23-year-old currently seems to be a new audience favorite.
Apparently she would have preferred to make it this far without first becoming known as Boris Becker's daughter: "Every child wants to be successful without parents."
Anna Ermakova also has problems with her mother Angela from time to time.
