Someone named "San Diego Pooth" showed up in my recommedations. I thought "That can't be his real name." Poof is an old homophobic slur. With a lisp, it's Pooth, so a double slur. And San Diego -- Nobody is named after the town they are born in. Must be a San Diego-area drag queen resurrecting the old slurs for their camp value.
But San Diego Pooth doesn't have any drag photos on his Instagram. He's flexing, modeling, golfing, or dancing with a lady named Ekaterina.
Holy Cow, he's a "public figure," with 129,000 followers, and he appears in a documentary called "Born Famous."
He posts in German, which may explain the Pooth. It may not be a slur in Germany.
Google AI says that it's a Dutch and German name, from either the Middle Low German pot (pool) or pote (young scion).
Low German or Plattdeutsch, spoken by 3-5 million people northern Germany and the Netherlands, is closer to Frisian and English than the Hochdeutsch that most American kids learned in school. I actually learned Plattdeutsch, so to this day I want to pronounce "Ich" with a hard K, Eek, instead of Eesch.
Digger (regular dude) from Flensburg, as far north as you can go in Germany without hitting Denmark.
Other differences:
Hochdeutsch: Kommst Du in mein Zimmer.
Plattdeutsch: Kumm na mien Stuuv
Hochdeutsch: Ich habe eine große Wurst
Plattdeutsch: Ich heff i groot Wuss
Google knows all about San Diego Pooth. He's 23 years old as of this writing, 6'2" or 6'6", son of the ultra famous Veronica Pooth and her husband Franjo. I never heard of them, either.
Veronica is from La Paz, Bolivia, which explains the "San Diego": Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin (1474-1548), a Nahua peasant who had visions of the Virgin Mary, became the first indigenous person to be canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church -- in 2002. Our San Diego was born in 2003.
Mom Veronica grew up in Hamburg, and won several beauty contests, including Miss Germany. Her IMDB profile shows her bare breasts. I didn't think nudity was allowed.
She appears as "herself" 121 times on the IMDB, beginning with The Disney Club and 12 Stunden über den Dächern von Köln (Twelve Hours Above the Rooftops of Cologne). The most popular seem to be Peep (an erotic show), Big Brother...
Left: A contestant on Big Brother Germany
Star Duell, Menschen (I'd watch that), Extreme Activity, Das Star-Magazin. Ein Herz für Kinder (a fundraiser), Villa der Versuchung ("Temptation Villa").
She also has 13 acting credits, and owns several jewelry and cosmetic brands, including Veronas Dreams and So Perfect.
Veronica married her second husband, Franjo Pooth, in 2004. They have two chldren, San Diego and Rocco Ernesto.
Franjo is the son of famous architect Franz-Josef Pooth (the shortened form, get it?). He studied architecture in London, then founded several companies, notably Maxfield, which Wikipedia says designs MP3 players and "trend-oriented electronic devices."
He was Maxfield's CEO from 2003 until 2008, when he was convicted of corruption and bribery and forced to step down. Later Franjo and Veronica founded Pacific Healthcare, which sells CBD-infused cosmetics and dietary supplements.
More after the break
Born famous, San Diego has appeared as himself in 13 productions, including:
Schlag den Stars: a game show where a contestant has to beat a celebrity in trivia questions
Comeback oder weg?: A game show where old people display an object used in the past, and their kids have to figure out what it was used for. Mom Verona hosted 21 episodes. Soccer star David Odonkor co-hosted 19.
Veronica privat -- Zuhause bei den Pooths: a reality show about the Pooths.
And he played Tobi in Der Lehrer (2021), about a crazy teacher.
But San Diego seems more interested in IT. He is currently attending the CODE University of Applied Science in Berlin, which specializes in digital design. Entrepreneur Frank Thelen, star of Die Höhle der Löwen, the German Shark Tank, is his mentor.
Since Mom has posed in an erotic fashion, I figured that Diego might be amenable to j/o photos. This one looks promising.
Dude is obviously straight, but it was worth the trouble to research Plattdeutsch and a family of mega-celebrities that I've never heard of.
