One makes films, the other music. But some people seem to confuse them. Schweighöfer takes it with humor.
The actor and filmmaker Matthias Schweighöfer (40) calmly accepts the often strained resemblance to the four years younger musician Tim Bendzko.
“At the gas station a woman came to me once, excited and enthusiastic: Tell me, you are not … And then she started singing:” Just have to save the world for a moment … “” said the cinema and Streaming service star of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” from the weekend. “I am sometimes mistaken for Tim Bendzko. But I know he will be mistaken for me too. That is why we have officially agreed: We can perform on behalf of the other. “
Schweighöfer can currently be seen in the cinema in the film “Hinterland”. From the end of October he will be online with his Netflix film “Army of Thieves”. From a maker’s point of view, he sees a clear advantage of streaming services: “Unfortunately, as a filmmaker, you often experience beautiful weather on the day of the cinema release, 35 degrees – and then you know: your film is dead,” explained the 40-year-old . “Because if the first weekend goes bad, the cinemas push it to the sideline times, and after another week it disappears completely.” Then a short sunny weekend kills the work of two years. “That doesn’t happen with the streaming services.”
