Life
August Diehl comes from a family of artists . He is the son of the actor Hans Diehl (* 1940); his mother is a costume designer . His younger brother Jakob Diehl (* 1978) is a composer and actor.
Diehl has been married to actress Julia Malik since 1999 . He played with her in May 2008 at the Ruhr Festival Recklinghausen . In May 2009 their first child, a daughter, was born in Berlin.
On the night of March 8, 2011, Diehl went on a pub crawl in Regensburg with Pete Doherty and a stranger , where both were staying for the filming of the film Confession of a Child of the Century . One or more of the three people broke into the window of a record and CD shop in the old town and stole a guitar and a record from the decoration. If the police initially assumed theft was burglary, they later came to the conclusion that those involved were intoxicated and incapable of guilt at the time of the crime. The public prosecutor's office in Regensburg applied for a penalty warrant against Diehl and Doherty for negligent intoxication .
