The entertaining blunder at "Wetten, dass..." had everyone talking on social media! During the show's final episode with host Thomas Gottschalk, a small yet amusing mishap took place. In his excitement, Gottschalk accidentally referred to actor Matthias Schweighöfer as "Matthias Schweinsteiger," the same name as the famous footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger's wife was going to introduce later that night.
When Bastian Schweinsteiger and his wife, Ana Ivanovic, finally made their entrance, Matthias Schweighöfer - still on the show with his new film - joined in on the fun. Together, they recorded a light-hearted video, with Schweinsteiger joking about their new unified relationship, "Matthias Schweinsteiger, Schweighöfer, married for life." The clip, shared on both ZDF and Matthias Schweighöfer's Instagram, earned over 32,000 likes by Sunday midday.
Fans praised their humor, with comments praising their handling of the situation, while one user found the silence of the two men particularly amusing. Matthias Schweighöfer even referred to himself as the "favorite show baller Matthias Schweinsteiger" in an Instagram post. Even Ana Ivanovic, Matthias Schweighöfer's girlfriend Kuchelmann, got in on the fun. She described the situation in a witty Instagram post, welcoming Schweighöfer into their "family" with a laughing emoji.
