‘Homeland’ star Claire Danes reveals love of techno music and Berlin’s Berghain club – watch

Actress tells Ellen DeGeneres how she attended a fetish party at the famed club

Actress Claire Danes recently appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show where she revealed that she’s a big fan of techno music.

The Homeland star, who rose to fame in the 1990s with cult TV show My So-Called Life, told Ellen that she “had a real aversion to” techno music at first but that the city of Berlin – where the fifth season of Homeland will be set – altered her opinion.

“I thought that heavy metal and techno were the two genres of music that I just had no tolerance for, right?” Danes said. “You’ll go to Berlin, you might change your mind. You get sucked in.”

Of the city’s famed Berghain night club, she continued: “It’s amazing; it’s the best place on Earth. I was so scared when I first went in. Really, I had acute anxiety because I didn’t know what to expect. But it’s a blast and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.”

Danes also revealed that she once attended a fetish party at the club.
