"Gotcha, Florian!" Behind-the-scenes on his Horror Video Shoot
On December 16, at 8:15 PM, on Ersten, Florian Silbereisen (42) will join Barbara Schöneberger (49) on "Verstehen Sie Spaß?", the Christmas edition. What viewers might not know, however, is that the show's team had a little fun with the pop star, capturing it all on a hidden camera. Decoy Thomas Anders (60) lent a helping hand.
The folks from "Everything Sparkles! Alles glitzert!" are at it again. Silbereisen and Thomas Anders, set to release their new album "Nochmal!" on January 12, 2024, were filming a music video for their new song. Little did Silbereisen know, he was in for a few shockers. As announced by SWR, the duo plans to elevate music video artistry to new heights with extravagant costumes and sky-high platform shoes.
Strange Outfits and Unsettling Encounters
The reel begins with Silbereisen's comical outfits, causing him to chuckle. However, as the clock ticks, his smile slowly fades, replaced by a hint of unease. Red flags start to pop up when he encounters a local journalist. In an initial clip, you can see a friendlier side of Silbereisen, laughing at his out-there outfits. But as the conversation shifts to dangerous pyrotechnics, his apprehension becomes apparent: "Is this a joke?"
More Guests, More Surprises
If you think that's the end of the story, think again. The Christmas episode of "Verstehen Sie Spaß?" promises an array of unforgettable moments. Among them, Melissa Naschenweng (33) bringing chills as the undead in Vienna’s Central Cemetery's Funeral Museum. The Ehrlich Brothers transform the Christmas market into chaos by dressing up as pointy-eared elves. Even Barbara Schöneberger throws her hat in the ring, donning a sommelier's outfit and hosting a special wine tasting.
Adding to the list of characters, Judith Williams (52) swings a tennis racket with Mischa Zverev (36), Alexander Zverev's brother. Lastly, actress Jutta Speidel (69) faces off against a nasty pufferfish.
Additional Insights:
- According to research, actors often face anxiety at the thought of going overboard or revealing too much in a prank scene. In Silbereisen's case, it appears his apprehensions revolved around the pyrotechnics used in the video shoot.
- The Ehrlich Brothers' antics mimicking pointy-eared elves likely play up their known love for dressing in all sorts of eccentric costumes to add festive cheer.
