Biography
Putra Arifin Scheunemann (born 1 May 1987), known professionally as Arifin Putra, is a German-born Indonesian actor. His international recognition is largely attributed to his role in the Indonesian action film The Raid 2: Berandal, which was released in the United States and other major markets around the world. He also starred in the 2009 Indonesian horror film, Rumah Dara (released internationally as Macabre). Putra was born on May 1, 1987 in Mainz, West Germany. His father Axel Scheunemann is German, his mother Joyce Sunandar is Indonesian of Chinese descent. He has an older sister, Sari. His father is an exporter of dried flowers and landscaping specialist in Jakarta, Indonesia, while his mother runs her own catering business. The couple divorced when Arifin was 13 years old. Arifin spent the earliest years of his life in Germany before migrating to his mother’s homeland, Indonesia, at the age of three – albeit reluctantly. In the first year of living in Indonesia, for instance, he insisted on speaking in his native German tongue rather than in Bahasa Indonesia. As a teenager, though, he eventually decided to turn in his German citizenship and take on Indonesian citizenship. Quiet and shy, Arifin often kept to himself, and would sometimes spend hours drawing or playing in his room as a small child. Arifin completed his primary and secondary education at the German International School in Jakarta, Indonesia. While he consistently achieved good grades, he was never top of the class. He graduated in 2006 with a German Abitur, the German equivalent of a high school diploma. Complications at birth resulted in Arifin’s arm being immobilized with a less than 50% chance of full recovery. Thankfully, his mother’s initiative to enroll the infant for three months of rigorous physiotherapy allowed him to regain mobility in his arm. Having overcome this obstacle, Arifin readily embraced the challenge of performing his stunts in Berandal without a double.
