Michael Fassbender wants a woman with “intelligence, self-confidence”

OMGOMGOMG.

New Michael Fassbender photos! HUZZAH. Unfortunately, we only have the cover shot for Michael’s Interview Magazine cover profile (for February ‘12), but I did get my hands on some scans from Fassy’s GQ UK (February) cover profile. The photo shoot isn’t balls-out, Fassy-is-coming-and-his-beast-will-wreck-you, but they definitely get the job done. I love the extreme closeup of his jaw line. Sigh… this man. I can’t even.

I also got the chance to read the full GQ UK interview, which was okay. It’s a pretty standard-issue piece about how awesome he is (true story), and how he’s a man’s man who just happens to be insanely gorgeous, and a throw-back to stars like Marlon Brando. The best parts of the interview have already been excerpted – that’s the stuff about “the beast within” and “wrecking the sweetshop”. But here are a few more highlights:

Unlike other stars, Fassbender looks and acts his age. Even on screen. It’s refreshing. He has worry lines on his forehead, confesses to a loathing for plastic surgery, and has zero dedication to maintaining “some kind of image.”

***

So what of his love life? Wasn’t he dating Zoe Kravtiz, daughter of the man with the worst dress sense in rock, for a while? As I ask about the actor’s dalliances, just for a second, I catch the fuse in those blue, surgical, lamp-bright eyes, trip.

“I’m quite a romantic person and I love the idea of having a family. But I’d have to take a step back out of this. It’s not fair on somebody to be waiting for you. You spend long periods of time apart and then when I am here, I’m working. I find it difficult to do both and to give that other person the right amount of attention and time they deserve.”

…What is it he looks for in a woman? “Intelligence, self-confidence in one’s own skin. If a girl is slightly overweight, or you know, if she’s comfortable in herself, living life the way she wants to like it, I find that sexy and attractive. If somebody is the perfect mould, but she’s not enjoying herself, than I find it sad and unsexy.”

[From GQ UK, print edition]

So, basically, Fassy will only unleash the beast and wreck your motherf–king sweetshop if you are a confident woman, and he’ll give special consideration to a big-booty ho. LIKE ME. I really did feel like he was speaking just to me. I also feel like he was telling me that I need to prepare myself for years of following him around as he goes from job to job, just so he can give me the time and attention he thinks I deserve. Right? That’s what he was saying just to me, right?

    i guess he’s more interested by his career than by love actually:he’s the Hollywood It-boy with Ryan Gosling in this time

    he deserves to be nod for Shame (with Carey Mulligan)

    I kind of laugh when male actors say the usual lines: woman with intelligence, woman who is independent, etc, etc…
    For them to end up with some robotic bimbo a la Rosie Huntington Whitely.
    I have to say that Fassbender is a great change from Bradley Cooper. I’m so sick and tired of the words actor and Bradley Cooper being used in the same sentence.

      Rosie’s no bimbo. Good looks don’t make someone an idiot. You sound bitter.

        When she spouts stupid shit so yes she is a bimbo. She needs to just shut her mouth already.

        Just because someone has an opinion on a “model” or celeb doesn’t mean they are bitter. Easy cope out answer: BITTER.

        or “jealous”. Please. I think many actresses and models are beautiful… some are stupid some aren’t.

        But Rosie is overrated, can’t act , can barely model and really needs to stop doing interviews and get a BF that doesn’t look her dad.

        I thought bimbo meant “slutty” etc. I didn’t know it meant stupid. Why not just say stupid, dumb, and/or not so bright.

        nope, he thus far seems to shy away from the model types, last i saw/heard,he was boning his co star from,shame(not carey mulligan, but nicole behari).
        though i find him creepy as all creepy can be.. he is a great actor,and he really does give off the craziest sexual energy.. its uhm well, let me just say, kaiser, i think your underwear would literally burst into flames.

      • Heine says:

        Blue: People use ‘bimbo’ more commonly to mean a physically attractive woman who isn’t very bright (Blonde bimbo). It can also mean slutty, of course, but it gets more use as ‘stupid’ than ‘slutty’.

        Maybe it’s a regional difference? I’m in SoCal where it almost exclusively means ‘stupid but pretty’.

    I really like the cover, but it really DOES look like he’s crossed-eyed. But he’s still smoldering, as per usual. I also noticed how respectfully he answered the question about Zoe, without dragging her name in the mud, pointing fingers, or sounding like a complete douche. The pictures, though, are killing me, lol. Especially the one below the cover. Sigh, I love him oh so much.

    Kaiser-I saw Shame on Saturday! It’s not a movie I would recommend to most people but I really liked it and it is a MUST-see if you like Fassbender. He is officially the hottest guy on the planet. I just can’t believe that he looks like THAT and is also ridiculously talented. This movie had lots of full-frontal nudity of The Fass and believe me when I tell you it is ALL LEGIT. YUM.

      Oooh glad you enjoyed it too — though I guess “enjoyed” would be a peculiar term. It’s struck a cord with me and I still think about certain scenes every now again. Bugger, Fassbender and Mulligan are so good at what they do, and it quite feels like you’re right along the ride with him for the addiction bender (which is why I felt like taking a never-ending comfort shower when I got home).

      Oh, and it’s absolutely ridiculous how naturally well-built the guy is (the kind of build where good genes prevail and no gym is necessitated). His face might look in the 40′s, but that body… I fear Kaiser will spontaneously combust when she gets to see it.

        Hi Podzol.
        Exactly-I’m still thinking of the movie even today-it’s very affecting and haunting in that way. And yes-ITA about the long shower! I’m not a prude but I was watching this film wedged between two couples in their 60s so yeah, it was kind of uncomfortable because the scenes are SO graphic and so physically intimate.
        I don’t know who’s directorial style makes me more uncomfortable-D. Aronofsky or S. McQueen, which is interesting because the former is master of the quick-cut (hip-hop) shot and the latter is master of the long, drawn-out shot. Interesting to see how McQueen’s long-shot style can be used to effect.
        I thought the movie was pretty incredible. Hope Fassy gets his due come Oscar time! Oh, and yes-his body is INSANE. It’s not overbuilt, not too thin-it really is incredible..

        Haha! Like the proverbial Goldilocks tale: Not too hot, not too cold — JUST RIGHT ;)

        (It makes me averse to overpumped bodies even more now — it’s like, ‘roid up all you want gentlemen, but there’s only so much you can attain when there are these types of triangle-shaped swimmer’s bodies walking amongst us).

    Oh if ever I were to be spanked *heavy sigh* I’m confident my bootyliciousness would like it Fassy.

    On another (intelligent) note, the last photo, his waist looks way smaller than mine. I don’t wanna snap him ;)

    Le sigh where do I begin with this post. First off Keira Knightley is a selfish bitch how dare she deny The Fassdong the right to spank her ass, she should have been feeling blessed that he even wanted to touch her ass but oh well since her ass is so tiny I could understand her reservations but anyhoo I understand perfectly Kaiser The Fassdong needs a woman to put all that dong in and these skinny lil actresses are not working for him and us big booty ho’s as you put it, need to work together.

      Even though Ralph Fiennes will always be my first love, Fassdong is starting to be future husband number 2. I’m glad he loves women with some extra meat, like meeeeeeeeee! All I know is, if I was Keira Knightley in a movie where Fassdong had to spank me….I wouldn’t have made him use a box to hit. I don’t care if I was bruised for a year, I’d let him do it, and you can believe that I wouldn’t be faking any sound that came out of my mouth.
      Even though I’m half black, half white and as white as a snowflake, as a girl with a big butt and hips now I know that I have a chance with the Fassdong. Like you said, we need to work together.

    So, I went to see “Shame” last night. It was showing in a vintage theatre in my city, the kind that has only one screen and velvet-covered seats. I walked into the movie expecting to be lady-hard for Fassy for the entire two hours. However, it actually ended up being a heavy and hard movie to watch. The sex scenes were hot, but it was a bit like watching someone gorge on chocolate cake or watching an addict shoot up. The sex was just so un-romantic, so mechanical, so painful that it was hard to enjoy Fassy. My favourite scene though was the one where he’s dirty-talking to the girl in the bar. If I could have that recorded and played over and over, that would be bliss…

    On a different note, I see that the Interview piece was by Josh Brolin? I love love love Josh Brolin, so the thought of him interviewing Fassy is just delicious.

    Gee he’s looking for self confidence, and intelligence? No way.. you mean guys want this in girls? YAWN.

    I didn’t find any depth to his interview.. he sounded like an ad on a dating site.

    The fact is when men find someone they love, are into they will do anything..anything to be with them so this complaint about traveling and working too much? Excuses. He wasn’t into whoever he was dating or didn’t want to commit to them…

    I’ve heard lots of actors/men in general say that they look for a woman with “confidence.” What does that even mean? Does any woman out there feel super confident? I’m not saying I have low self-esteem, but I think *most* women are pretty filled with self-doubt and humility, any thoughts?
