Matthias Schweighofer

Matthias Schweighöfer is hardly known to fans of mainstream Hollywood cinema: Born in Germany, he supports local directors and producers. In this field, the actor succeeded, because in his filmography there are many major projects, including Til Schweiger's dilogy "Handsome".

Matthias Schweighöfer was born on March 11, 1981 in the German city of Anklam. The family tree defined Matthias's profession even before he was born: his parents Michael and Gitta Schweighöfer are famous German theater and film actors. Therefore, the boy saw the set early and realized what occupation he wanted to devote his whole life to.

After graduating from the Wilhelm André Gymnasium in Chemnitz, Schweighöfer entered the Berlin Higher School of Dramatic Art, but did not study for a year - offers were already pouring in endless hail.

Success awaited Schweighöfer in the 2000s: for his participation in the film Forgotten Desires: I Love My Student (2000), the young man was awarded the Deutscher Fernsehpreis television prize. Matthias played a student who is in a relationship with a teacher. This was followed by the Babelsberger Medienpreise statuette for the brilliant performance in the melodrama Kiss Me, Frosch (2000) based on the fairy tale "The Frog King" by the Brothers Grimm.

After numerous appearances on television, Schweighöfer starred in 2001 in a full-length film - the youth comedy "Breaking the Head". This was followed by the horror films "Night in the Park" and "Fear.com" (2002), and the actor made his final breakthrough with his role in the movie "Pen Sharks" (2003), for which he won the New Faces award.

The most important film in Schweighöfer's biography is The Red Baron (2008): not only because the picture tells the story of the life of the pilot Manfred von Richtofen, who proved himself in the First World War, but also because Matthias had to overcome a terrible aerophobia.

In life, the actor prefers a car to a plane, but if he has to get out of Germany, Schweighöfer hurries to see a psychotherapist. The doctor prescribes sedatives for the patient, strong enough to overcome Schweighöfer's psychosis and put him to sleep during the flight.

In "The Red Baron" he got the main role. The directors decided to do without computer graphics and used stuntmen to a minimum. The fact that Schweighöfer did soar into the sky and even learned to fly a training fighter says a lot about his professionalism.

His good friend Til Schweiger played side by side with Schweighöfer in The Red Baron. Then Thiel was looking for an actor for the role of Maurice in his comedy "Handsome". He invited Matthias to pass the casting and unconditionally approved the candidacy. For the sake of the image, Schweighöfer had to cut his hair, but this sacrifice is nothing compared to piloting an airplane.

As of 2019, Matthias Schweighöfer's filmography includes more than 70 projects - films, TV series, short films and voiceovers. His roles are multifaceted and interesting. The actor even went into the shoes of a Russian boyfriend Pavel from Thomas Winterberg's drama Kursk (2018) about the crash of a Russian cruiser.

Schweighöfer does not change his habits in his personal life, his ex-wife Angelica Schromm is a purebred German. In a relationship that lasted from 2004 to 2018, two children were born: on May 1, 2009, Greta was born, on February 17, 2014, Valentin. Greta's godfather is Andreas Novak, drummer of the German pop group Silbermond.

In January 2019, Schweighöfer announced his divorce from Schromm. Now the actor is dating fellow craft worker Ruby O. Fee. The girl is 13 years younger than her lover. Matthias almost every day confesses his love to O. Phi under a photo on Instagram.

Schweighöfer speaks fluent German and English, knows the basics of French, can play the violin and piano. In his free time from filming, he composes poems in the style of Arthur Rimbaud.

In October 2019, the historical drama Resistance premiered, about Jews who collaborated with the French Resistance to save orphans during World War II. Jesse Eisenberg starred with Schweighöfer.
