Title: Til Schweiger Reflects on Past Scandals, Emphasizes Apology and Responsibility
Hangin' with Til: The actor talks about his peace with self, fruits, and apologizing in a new interview
In a recent sit-down with Bild, Til Schweiger—German actor and all-around charming guy—discussed his new film Das Beste kommt noch! (The Best is Yet to Come!) and his thoughts on dealing with past scandals. The controversy surrounded the filming of "Manta Manta - Zwoter Teil" which saw allegations of alcohol misuse and aggressive behavior by Til. But, fear not, Til's on top of things—and loves some good banana bread too!
When asked about the accusations, Til replied with a firm "Nobody needs to be afraid of me. I am a friendly person." The claims had an impact, however, with an external report commissioned by the film studio casting a mixed picture of the atmosphere on set. While many reported good to okay feelings, some noted a "not insignificant number" felt the working environment was less than stellar.
Bananas, breathing, and therapists
Til admitted to his past mistakes, admitting he "gave the monkey sugar" but took full responsibility. "I always apologized," he said. He even watched a video that gave him a "shock" and decided to work on change, finding himself a "really great therapist."
"The best is yet to come!" lands in theaters on December 7, and Til wasn't worried about potential backlash. "I thought everyone would start throwing eggs at me from now on," he confessed. After the scandal, he was pleasantly surprised to find he still had his fans and supporters.
Freedom to roam
Thirty years in the public eye, Til says he's never faced negativity from fans. "I've never had anyone come up to me and say, 'I think you're shit and I think your movies are shit...' " He continues on his merry way, without bodyguards, freely talking to anyone.
A deeper dive:
While there have indeed been false allegations leveled against Til, it's worth noting that the controversy surrounding Manta Manta – Zwoter Teil was not entirely invented. German magazines such as Der Spiegel and art-lechner.at reported on allegations of power abuse related to the film.
Til hasn't mentioned directly addressing these issues in his latest work, but in a previous Stern interview, he did discuss feeling heartbroken about the rumors, expressing his worry about the "chaos" caused and his desire for people to be happy.
