Giel Beelen

Giel Beelen

Michiel Antonius Adrianus Beelen (born in Haarlem, on 25th May 1977), better known as Giel, is a Dutch radio-dj. Currently he presents the VARA morningshow "GIEL" at 3FM from Monday till Friday between 6:00 and 9:00 am. He also has a show called "Nachtegiel" at Saturday morning between 1:00 and 4:00 am, at the so-called "Freaknacht" ("Freak night").

He also presents a TV-talkshow called Giel. In one part he and the interviewed person are naked (but largely this amounts to showing the bare shoulders).

Career

From an early age, Beelen was determined to become a disc jockey. When he was just a little kid, he made himself a lookalike radio station to pretend he was a dj. After starting at a local Haarlem broadcasting company, presenting a show for kids, he soon moved to Radio 10 and later to Radio Noordzee to work as a music technician.

In 1997 Beelen moved to the AVRO at Radio 3FM, where he hosted a show during night time. Thanks to the "Dopeshow" he made fame as a "shockjock". He often tested drugs, such as alcohol, marihuana and cocaine, on air. He once invited a callgirl to give him a blowjob, live during broadcast.

In 2004, 2005 and 2006 he lived in the House of Glass a week prior to Christmas without anything to eat to collect money for projects supported by the Red Cross in a show called Serious Request.
