“The way friends do it”: Heiner Lauterbach stands by Til Schweiger’s side
Heiner Lauterbach says he doesn’t actually talk about third parties. Now he makes an exception and protects his friend Til Schweiger after his alcohol confession.
Actor Heiner Lauterbach defends his colleague and friend Til Schweiger against criticism. “When I worked with him, he was always nice, extremely dedicated and focused,” he told the star. There were allegations against Schweiger in the spring. In a report, employees accused him of being abusive and aggressive on the film set of “Manta Manta 2”. Schweiger had this week in an interview with the star spoke out about the allegations and stated that he had gone to therapy.
Lauterbach, who has been friends with Schweiger for more than 30 years, is annoyed by the image that is painted of Schweiger in public. “All journalists bash Til, always finding something negative instead of writing about his many good sides.” He is “good-natured and sensitive, he has a big heart and many other attributes that I like and that are important for maintaining a friendship.”

Lauterbach emphasized that in the past he had tried to support Schweiger when he was feeling bad. “Of course. Just like friends do,” he said and added: “Of course I tried to help him. But that’s sometimes difficult. We all live our own lives. And each of us is a moon with our dark side. “
During his career, he also noticed that fame had changed him. “I also noticed that I was suddenly talking to people in a way that I didn’t really want to. Of course, success makes you a little self-aggrandizing and blinds your own perspective a little. You have to constantly readjust yourself.”
