Heidi Klum Praises Gustav Schäfer - Gustav Schäfer's Let's Dance journey sparks weight loss and Heidi Klum's praise
Gustav Schäfer, drummer for Tokio Hotel, has been making waves on Let's Dance with his energetic performances. The show's latest episode saw him and partner Anastasia Maruster take on a cha-cha routine. Meanwhile, his training has led to noticeable weight loss, and even Heidi Klum has shown her support online.
Schäfer and Maruster danced the cha-cha to Boogie Wonderland in the most recent episode. Their performance earned them 17 points from the judges. Behind the scenes, the drummer's intense rehearsals have taken a toll—he has shed over four kilograms since joining the competition.
Heidi Klum, a long-time fan, shared a lighthearted clip on her Instagram Story. It showed Schäfer joking that a hippo could outdance him in the cha-cha. This isn't the first time she's backed the musician; she previously praised his earlier routines on the show. Bandmates Bill and Tom Kaulitz, however, admitted they hadn't been keeping up with Schäfer's progress. On their podcast *Kaulitz Hills – Hollywood Mustard*, they joked about his unexpected turn on the dance floor. Despite their teasing, the next episode will give fans another chance to see Schäfer in action—moved to **Sunday, March 29, at 8:15 p.m.** due to Germany's friendly match against Switzerland.
The rescheduled episode will air after the football clash, ensuring no overlap for viewers. Schäfer's weight loss and Klum's public backing highlight the growing attention around his time on Let's Dance. His next performance will determine whether his scores—and his stamina—keep improving.
