Thomas Gottschalk met many stars during his time on "Wetten, dass...?".

With one of them, however, he had an encounter away from the camera that he probably would have preferred to avoid, as he reveals in an interview.

Stars like Cheer, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Heidi Klum are among the stars that Thomas Gottschalk has welcomed as a guest on his show over the course of his career.

There were crazy situations with some of his guests, one even got lost in his shower, says the 72-year-old.

During the promotional tour for his book "Herbstbunt: Who only gets old, but not smarter, is pretty stupid", fans could ask him questions.

A viewer wanted to know which encounters had been most formative for the moderator.

For Gottschalk, the answer was clear; he particularly liked James Bond actor Sean Connery and Beatles star Paul McCartney.

He also had an explosive story in store for the latter.

Because after the shooting of Gottschalk's show, the singer suddenly stood in the moderator's shower.

How exactly this incident happened and how the two reacted, he did not say.

Gottschalk made it clear, however, that he still admires the star very much and that this incident has not changed anything.

"Wetten, dass..?" will return to home screens again this year, but we'll have to wait a bit until then.

The program will not be broadcast until November 19th and this time not from Mönchengladbach, but from Friedrichshafen.

But the entertainer caused another surprise, because the 72-year-old, who is otherwise known for his blonde curls, recently presented himself with a new short hairstyle.
