Biography[]
The Cheerful Charmer of Germany
Edward Barber is a 16-year-old from Germany. He was the first housemate to be revealed prior to entering the Big Brother House. He was born and raised in Germany from her Filipina mother and a British-German father. He is fluent in speaking German.
In one word, 15-year-old Edward Barber who was dubbed as the “Cheerful Charmer ng Germany,” described himself as crazy.
Sharing his life prior to joining PBB, he said, “It was mostly focus on school and my friends, of course. Like the biggest thing I had to worry about were exams and girls. It was just really simple, a (typical) teenager’s life.”
He also recalled one big achievement he attained that’s school-related, “There was a Latin reading competition and it was inter-school and I got second place so that was a big achievement for me because I put a lot of work into it.”
As for the reason why he joined the reality show, Edward said, “The experience, straight away. If I say no to it, I’m never going to get the chance to do it again.” He also said that his motto is clothing brand's tagline, “Just do it.”
Is there a previous housemate he wants to imitate the style? “I haven’t seen many but I guess the closest I come to is Bailey because of my background. I’m British, he’s British,” he answered.
When asked why he should be the Big Winner? He answered, “That’s for them to decide really. Maybe because of my sense of humor, because I’m gonna make you guys laugh, hopefully. So if I can make you laugh then I guess I deserve to do it.”
What will be his strategy around the house? “Again, humor because (I’m) trying to make everybody (to) like me by making them laugh.”
Likewise, he said that the quality that will make him stand out from rest is his ability to stay positive. “I’m always crazy, always happy, always laughing. Even under pressure or serious situations, I always manage to laugh in the end.”
Does he cook? “If I need to. I’m not the best chef, I don’t have recipes in my head but if I’m told to do something and how to do it then I can, of course,” was his reply and added that he can make omellettes for the housemates.
Lastly, Edward described love as “a mental disease,” family as “best friends,” youth as “crazy” and God as “faith”.
