Is fluent in German and English and has basic knowledge in French.
Due to his phobia of flying, he never flies within Germany. He always drives. Every time he flies outside of Germany, he has to talk to his therapist before boarding the plane.
He loves writing poems and his favorite author is Max Frisch.
His role in Rabbit Without Ears (2007) was one of the last roles in the movie to be
cast. Til Schweiger mentioned that he simply couldn't find a
suitable actor for the role as Moritz the paparazzi, so he let his
friend Matthias Schweighöfer audition for it and eventually had
found a suitable actor.
