What is Mr. Hulin doing nowadays?

Ofcourse he gets a bit older, but he hasn't changed much. He turns only a bit more grey but that was the headhunter too ;)  We met him two years ago and he looks impressive and great! We got there in the early morning, we parked the car and were packing our stuff together, then a whirlwind just passed us by car. No doubt it was Mr. Hulin! Not quit the prototype of an old driver ;) He has fetched fresh food for the pets. He enjoys being in his garden, the nature and his pets. He surrounds himself with his pets like dogs, cats and a donkey And perhaps there are more of them. Though in his roles he is good in scaring you out but in real life Mr. Hulin seems to be a quiet and gentle man who lives together with his wife between his pets peacefully.

Mr. Hulin offers part of a reintegration project by the cascade and multiple arts of the show, the association has for object: 1. To train young people in shows through the sword waterfall or old fencing, intervention in difficult neighborhoods, the MJC, the EC .. and also for the not so young ...2.
