Schweighöfer and M'Barek on holiday in Ibiza
It's vacation time in Germany and even local film stars are being drawn to even warmer climes. For example, actor friends Elyas M'Barek and Matthias Schweighöfer have ended up in Ibiza, where they're spending their time on a boat with watermelons.
Vacation fun with Elyas M'Barek and Matthias Schweighöfer: The two well-known German actors are currently spending time together on Ibiza. On Tuesday, they shared a joint post from the island on Instagram. The photos and videos in the image carousel show M'Barek and Schweighöfer in swimwear on a boat. The selfies show them enjoying themselves as Schweighöfer eats a piece of watermelon in a unique way.
As a comment to the pictures, they wrote "The best headline wins!" and challenged their followers to come up with funny captions for the photos. The first suggestions didn't take long to arrive. In the comment section, fans are outdoing each other with witty and creative ideas:
One follower, for example, titled the pictures "Jon Snow and Brienne of Tarth," playing on the fact that Schweighöfer is said to bear a resemblance to "Game of Thrones" star Gwendoline Christie. Another user suggested "Friendship Day," which is celebrated annually on July 30.
Other ideas include "Bibi & Tina: Adventures on the Melon Farm," "Every Blondie needs a Brownie" ("Every blonde needs a brunette"), "When life gives you melons, add some Matthias" ("When life gives you watermelon, add some Matthias"), "Melon Dollar Baby" (a reference to the film "Million Dollar Baby" with Hilary Swank), or "I carried a watermelon" (a film quote from "Dirty Dancing").
However, the title "Watermelon Sugar High" - a reference to the hit song by Harry Styles - is the most frequently used as the perfect headline for the pictures. In German, this means "watermelon sugar high."
Many fans also praise Matthias Schweighöfer's red nail polish in the comments. "The melon and the nails - perfect. That's friendship," one user commented, for example.
The actors' vacation escapades have garnered plenty of attention, with their watermelon-themed posts becoming a viral sensation. The entertainment value of Elyas M'Barek and Matthias Schweighöfer's Ibiza getaway is clearly appeasing their followers.
