Daniel Bruehl Skewers Superhero Stardom In Gentrifying Berlin By Deborah COLE 03/01/21 AT 9:19 PM Actor Daniel Bruehl called on some of his more "humiliating" Hollywood experiences for the black comedy "Next Door", his directorial debut premiering in competition at this week's Berlinale film festival. The German-Spanish Bruehl, who shot to fame aged 25 with the bittersweet Berlinale contender "Good Bye, Lenin!", is now himself up for the Golden Bear top prize Friday at an event that has gone all-virtual due to the pandemic. Since his early success, Bruehl, now 42, has starred in hits including "Rush", TV series "The Alienist" and the "Captain America" franchise.
