Manuel Neuer is considered one of the most famous German footballers.

His face is known.

Nevertheless, there are prominent mix-ups - a Tatort actor of all people is often mistaken for him.

Munich - Where there are people, there are doubles.

Stories of people keep coming up who have an unmistakable resemblance to a famous personality.

It becomes particularly interesting when two celebrities look almost alike, even though they are not related to each other.

Bundesliga star Manuel Neuer * is one of the most famous German footballers.

In addition to his appearances in the national team, the multiple world goalkeeper of the year has been guarding the box of FC Bayern Munich * for ten years.

His face should therefore be known to a large part of the population.

However, confusion still occurs.

An actor from the "Tatort" now confessed that he was often mistaken for the 35-year-old.

Tatort actor is a double of the Bayern star: "I've often been mistaken for Manuel Neuer"

In contrast to Manuel Neuer, the name Helgi Schmid is likely to be far less familiar to a broader audience.

The actor, who will take on the role of a kidnap victim in the Frankfurt Tatort on Sunday, is said to look astonishingly similar to the regular keeper of the DFB-Elf.

In an interview, the native of Darmstadt confessed that he had already been mistaken for him several times.

“A friend said I looked like football goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

I've never seen it that way - but I have to admit that I've actually been mistaken for Neuer two or three times.

Maybe I should register for a biopic after all, ”the actor revealed with a smile.

Helgi Schmid in the role of Manuel Neuer?

A biopic would appeal to the actor

The actor would like to impersonate a real person in a film biography.

A so-called biopic would appeal to Helgi Schmid, as it is a great challenge to study a person intensively and to narrow down the details of his life in a film.

Fictional roles, on the other hand, often have the disadvantage of being arbitrary.

Even if the screen actor of the same age would prefer to slip into the role of a politician, “because I am interested in politics,” says Schmid, he would not be averse to an athlete: “Like Daniel Brühl in the biopic 'Rush', the racing driver Niki Lauda.

That would really appeal to me ”.

Manuel Neuer's life is already extraordinary enough to be implemented on film. The vita of the Bayern goalkeeper has a lot to offer. Due to the external appearance and the same age, Helgi Schmid would certainly have good cards.
