Jennifer Heylen is 32. But according to her Wikipedia page she is only 27. “In a drunken mood I changed my date of birth.”

In the podcast, Heylen first says that she often complains about her age and that her friends have – as a joke – changed her age on Wikipedia.
But then Heylen corrects himself and confesses: “I lied. I adjusted that myself one saturday evening. I was sitting on the terrace and I had had some wine and so I didn’t want to be 32 years old anymore. I wanted to get something credible, so I changed my birth year from 1991 to 1996.”

The Loose Wild actress believes that the joke has gone on long enough and made a call in the podcast. “Can someone adjust that back? I can’t figure out how to do that anymore.”
The response was quick, because Wikipedia now writes again: “Jennifer Heylen (Ixelles, 1991) is a Belgian actress and presenter.” (Pom)
