Actually, Til Schweiger only promotes the Invictus Games. But many fans are now very worried, others criticize the body shaming. Now the actor reacts.
On the eve of the opening of the Invictus Games for war-disabled veterans, film star Til Schweiger, 59, called on his followers on Instagram to attend the competition in Düsseldorf. “Please everyone come by and support the athletes from 21 countries, they deserve it,” he says into the cell phone camera. He also promises “great competitions”, “a great international show program” and “the best thing is, entry is free”.
Wild discussion about Til Schweiger’s appearance
“Invictus Games: Team Germany” commented on his post: “Wow, thank you Til! That means a lot to us.” But most of the comments revolve around a different topic, namely Til Schweiger’s appearance in the clip. While many fans are very worried, others criticize these very comments as body shaming.
The worried to shocked posts read something like: “Dear Til, are you okay?”, “Til, you don’t look well, what’s wrong with you?”, “Ui, what happened to you??”, “Don’t look so fit”, “You look frighteningly 65 years old or older, everything is fine with you”, “In one word: frightening #selfcare”, “Wow, what happened”, “You look really exhausted” or “Man of honor “But Sparrow… You have to eat… You’ve become so thin… Come here, I’ll cook for you.”
Such and similar comments are also sharply criticized under the post: “Subterranean, the comments. He shows himself as he is. I’m not a fan of Schweiger. But I don’t have anything against him either. The comments are ridiculous. But what do you want from people “We’re all getting older,” writes one user. Another added: “That’s what I thought too when I read many of the comments here. Til Schweiger is commenting on a really good thing here, everything else is his private matter…”
Also to be read: “There are days when you don’t always shine and look like you’re licked. And the fact that he shows himself like that sometimes is completely ok. You don’t have to interpret anything into it. Either way, he has my sympathy, especially for his commitment.” Or “Finally someone without a filter”.
Actor shares new photo with a wink
A little later, Schweiger shares another photo of himself and responds to the criticism of his appearance. The well-trained actor presents himself in front of palm trees in an undershirt, with a coarse rope lying over his shoulder. ““What do people say about losing weight, it just looks perfectly defined,” writes one enthusiastic user about the photo, while others wonder whether the picture was possibly created with the help of AI or Photoshop. A mystery that Til Schweiger doesn’t solve, but only commented with a winking emoji.
