Controversy seems to follow Milli Vanilli around, as the pop-duo who became known for lip syncing on their records. But that’s only a small part of a much bigger story, and one that is told in Girl You Know it’s True – which delves into the lives of the double act, but also that of their producer, Frank Farian.
To mark the release of the movie we had the pleasure in speaking to German actor Matthias Schweighöfer, who plays Farian, to discuss bringing the role to our screen, and on his experience meeting the man himself, who has since passed away. He also talks about his musical interests and on the whirlwind of the last couple of years, and what it was like being part of the experience that was Oppenheimer.
Watch the full interview with Matthias Schweighöfer here:
Synopsis
