Paulien Cornelisse Wears Hat on 'De Slimste Mens' After Chemotherapy: 'I Absolutely Did Not Want a Wig'
Paulien Cornelisse, jury member on the Dutch show 'De Slimste Mens', revealed she lost her hair due to chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis in 2024. Instead of wearing a wig, she chose to wear various hats or caps during the new season, noting that her hair is growing back but not convincingly. Host Herman van der Zandt acknowledged her changed appearance and had a custom hat made for her to support her. Cornelisse stated that while her health varies daily due to heavy medication, she is happy to return to the studio. She and Van der Zandt have worked together for three seasons and will continue in the fourth season searching for Frank van Leeuwen’s successor.
