Luna Schweiger, Til Schweiger’s daughter, spoke out for the first time about the allegations against her father. She continues to be proud of him.
The actress Luna Schweiger (26) spoke openly for the first time about the stressful situation in connection with the negative reporting about her father Til Schweiger (59). The 26-year-old in Dubai made it clear that all of this had not left her unscathed: “It’s very stressful because it’s also very one-sided.” In her eyes, there are always two sides to a story.
She knows “of course a completely different, positive side” of her father. “He really apologized honestly,” Luna Schweiger continues. She is “incredibly proud,” but she “always has been”: “And I will continue to be proud of him.”
After numerous rumors and headlines, Til Schweiger himself commented on the allegations for the first time: “I thought a lot. I talked a lot with friends. And I started therapy.” After employees on the film set of “Manta Manta – Second Part” accused him, the filmmaker and actor said he didn’t want anyone to be afraid of him. The accusation that he was a tyrant hit him hard: “Nobody needs to be afraid of me. I’m a friendly person.”
However, friends had previously told him that he could have a way that seemed frightening: “I’m working on myself. I’m a person who makes mistakes. I’m not perfect.” There was also a situation where he wasn’t himself because he drank alcohol. He drank more during production than before: “I think it was a gradual process.”
“I want to become a better person”
Over the years, Schweiger said, there have been many conversations with friends and family about the subject of alcohol: “They were worried that I was drinking too much. I never denied it. But I told them all: ‘I wants to grow old. Don’t worry. I’m still working on it.’ Today I know: I always put this topic off my chest.” It gradually increased and then there was a loss of control. Afterwards he was “always incredibly ashamed”.
Schweiger said that he had now learned in therapy that he was no longer allowed to lose control. “I’ll be 60 soon. I don’t want to waste any more time now, I want to become a better person.”
