- On the wave of democratic changes, Janusz Rewinski tried his hand at politics. In the early 1990s, he founded the "Beer Scouts" association (the name of one of the TV programs), on the basis of which the Polish Party of Beer Friends was founded. In the 1991 parliamentary elections, he was elected a member of parliament of the first term from this party's list .
- In 2011, he took part in an advertising campaign for the Wilkinson brand, for which he shaved his characteristic beard. The Wilkinson brand organized the "all of Poland shaves Siara" campaign, which was part of the advertising campaign for the new razor. The company encouraged the actor's fans to support the campaign on the Facebook social networking site. As a result, 40 thousand people persuaded Janusz Rewinski to shave his beard. The action was risky, after all, the actor had not shaved for 30 years and admitted that he no longer remembered what he looked like without beard. When it was all over, the actor admitted that his image had softened and become more refined.
- He lived in the village of Nowodwór near Minsk Mazowiecki, where he became the owner of a farm.
- On 12 hectares of land I have a forest, fish ponds, meadows and pastures . I raise four horses, ten sheep, four goats, chickens and ducks. I mow the meadows, dry hay, cut down branches, and secure fuel - wood for the winter. If I didn't engage in farming from morning to night, to which I condemned myself, I would probably go crazy or something bad would happen to me - he said in an interview from years ago.
- Janusz Rewinski was associated with the cabaret scene for years - during his studies he performed in "Spotkania z Ballada" by Wieslaw Dymny, as well as in Piwnica pod Baranami in Krakow. After his debut in Poznan, he joined the legendary Kabaret Tey where he performed, among others, Zenon Laskowik and Bohdan Smolen.
