For Weidenfeller himself, it would be a great honor to participate on the luxury steamer. "Picture" he said that he had watched the series as a child together with his grandmother.
That celebrities appear in the "dream ship" is not unusual. Just recently, singer Sarah Lombardi and presenter Joko Winterscheidt had announced that they would be involved in the upcoming episodes. But while the two are each to play a role, Weidenfeller will obviously play himself. An acting career strive for the former captain of BVB not.
