Jacques Vermeire

Jaques Vermeire was born May 27, 1951. Vermeire took his first steps to fame in the Flemish panel show De drie wijzen (1989) in which he either 'told the truth' or 'made up stories' and candidates had to guess. As a comedian, he invented characters such as Belgian cyclist Johan Museeuw's physio Mon Peeters, the porn actor Fonske Verzele or the gay association football player Kevin Vermeulen. In the 1990s he gained immortality as car mechanic Dimitri De Tremmerie ("DDT") in the Flemish sitcom F.C. De Kampioenen (1990). He married Eva Pauwels in 1999 despite a significant age gap, with the pair having two children. They divorced in 2001.
