Born in 1985, Gisela “Gisa” Flake has been with her partner for a long time, and fortunately, they still stand together in their personal and professional lives, which is an advantage for her. She had an uncredited appearance in Vicky And The Viking (2009), where she worked before finishing high school. Further, she appeared in its sequel too.
Gisa performed in several plays during her high school days. Finally, she got a degree in acting in 2010. Born in Braunschweig, Gisa tried her luck in singing, songwriting, and cabaret besides acting. Her net worth was $5 million in January 2023.
Gisa is known for her appearance in films such as Ella Schön and Tarot. Actress Nina Petri associated Gisa in performing the interrogation scene mentioned in the article and found something missing. Thus, the director demanded something more, and Gisa and her now-partner did a violent scene in their first series together.
Gisa Flake Partner
Knud Riepen is Gisa Flake’s Partner, and they have been together for a decade and have made public appearances at several events. She informed ‘Riverboat,’ a television reality talk show, about her first encounter with her boyfriend and their professional and personal life in March 2023.
Gisa and Knud collaborated for a series in which she, as a dangerous discus thrower, was getting interrogated by the policeman, played by Knud. An attempt to escape the room was made by the former, which led to a violent scene between the two characters.
Soon, the discus thrower threw the policeman on the table a few moments before lunchtime. It was their first encounter, which broke the tension between them, and they started getting closer. After that, they worked together on some films and television shows/series.
For instance, they appeared together in a reality TV talk show, MDR um 4, on 24 February 2023. Recently, they worked together for ‘The Anders Family: Welcome To The Nest’ directed by Sophie Averkamp. Sex, Pity, and Loneliness (2017) and Heritage (2019) are the films they worked on together.
The duo had eye-catching chemistry during their appearance at the Bunte New Faces Award, where they could resist lovingly posing, cuddling, and kissing each other. It could be seen from Knud’s gestures and Gisa’s smile. Thus, even after ten years, they still seemingly love each other like a new couple.
What Gisa Says About Her Relationship
Some couples might find working together difficult, but this is not with Gisa and Knud. According to her confession to MDR, they take their job seriously. They trust each other and like to learn new things together. Comfort with Knud is the key for Gisa.
According to Gisa, she feels comfortable while acting with Knud, and emotions come gradually because she knows the man very well. This hack helps her shoot emotional and violent scenes.
On the contrary, she gets attacked by self-doubt while filming such scenes with a stranger. Actors might have the first meeting in the morning and get closer to filming in the evening, which seems difficult to her.
According to the information given by Gisa on ‘Riverboat,’ Knud asked her where she lived. It turned out that they lived in Berlin but 300 km apart. With a laugh, she informed them that housing is expensive in Berlin. So, instead of buying one near him, she left her apartment and moved in with him.
Gisa did not hesitate to praise Riverboat, saying she was excited to appear on the show before 120 people after getting the texts on short notice. However, she loved the Riverboat team and enjoyed being there.
