Michael Fassbender & Marion Cotillard in Cannes: who would you rather?

wenn22524656

Here are some photos of Michael Fassbender & Marion Cotillard at the photocall and premiere of Macbeth at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. I’ve been waiting to see Fassy all week, and he’s literally been at Cannes since last weekend, although this is the first premiere he’s attended. His first public appearance at an official event was Thursday night, at the amfAR gala. Then he spent Friday recovering, so he looked relatively well-rested (not really) for Saturday’s activities. I think he looked better in the photocall pics rather than the premiere pics. There’s something about Fassy in a tuxedo that just doesn’t jive. He just doesn’t seem like he’s in his natural habitat while wearing a tux.

As for Marion, she wore a totally fug Ulyana Sergeenko jumpsuit at the photocall. It looks like the cheap Target pajamas college girls wore in the ‘90s. By that I mean I’m sure the jumpsuit is considered fashion-forward somehow (but looks so dated to me). For the premiere, she wore a custom Dior mini and Chopard jewels. Pretty.

As I said, it was almost like Fassy was in hiding for the past week. He was probably holed up with his current girlfriend, Alicia Vikander, although Cannes was littered with his former lovers (Zoe Kravitz, Madalina Ghenea). From the way he looks in these photos, I would say he was probably partying quite heavily this week. He did manage to crawl out of the bottle and do some press for Macbeth – you can read some interviews here and here. There’s nothing really new. He already said that he played Macbeth like the character suffered from PTSD. There are some new clips too, but we still don’t have a trailer. Here’s a scene from the coronation:

It looks… interesting. The reviews coming out of Cannes are pretty great too.

PS… Look at Fassy and Marion’s body language. Do you think they’re hooking up, or have hooked up in the past? I’m not seeing it. Their body language says (to me) that they’re close but they haven’t slept together.

    Didn’t read the article, just saw the headline and scrolled down to write:

    her.

  2. Sarah says:

    In the first picture, the other guy’s hand is weirdly close to her boob.

    Sexism really shows through body language – so many actors put their hands inappropriately on the actresses when posing for photos, I’m grossed out by it.

    • Tiffany says:

      I would like to think that his hand is there because any lower it would seem he was groping her rear end. But you are right about the sexism with the posing.

  3. grabbyhands says:

    Why not both??

    I have no idea if they ever hooked up. I think they have the body language of people who are comfortable around each other.

    • Sullivan says:

      Good question. Both for me, please. Is that greedy?

    • Don't kill me I'm French says:

      They enjoyed to work together on Macbeth because they re team for Assassin Creed

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I don’t understand the need for speculating on whether or not they hooked up? I could see if there were some pretty strong rumors + sketchy pics or something…..but it’s kind of….thoughtless and mean to speculate whether or not two actors hooked up…based on the fact that they’re both attractive? Marion is married (?) with a kid, Michael has a girlfriend.

      • RB says:

        I totally agree! When I read that (i.e. the bit asking whether they had hooked up) I was surprised and slightly disappointed. It seemed sleazy and totally irrelevant and unnecessary.

      • Nina says:

        Agreed. I get its a gossip site, but creating serious rumours for the sake of it is immature and gross, particularly as you point out she is married with a child.

  4. A says:

    Both!!

  5. icerose says:

    Fassy is already being predicted for an oscar nod as well as Marion Colliard with her natural accent as opposed to Scottish and Blanchet is also being tooted

  6. Sesame says:

    They both look hot!! They have lots of natural chemistry with one another. Happy they’re getting good ink for Macbeth!

    • Termoli77 says:

      Yes they both look hot, and why do we have to assume they hooked up with each other? I don’t buy into the consensus that every one int Hollywood hooks up with everybody else. These two are co-workers who worked on a project together. A lot of people have relationships with people they meet at work; of course they’re not as good-looking as these two, but it happens.

  7. bettyrose says:

    I never wore pink stripped pajamas as a 90s college girl, but I’m gonna give her a pass on that look because it actually looks fab on her.

  8. sills says:

    I don’t mind both her looks, but sometimes how you sell it makes all the difference. She does not look confident this year at Cannes. In photos she’s looked slightly hunched over, as if she’s embarassed or uncomfortable (also true in that lime green gown).

    I could get behind a pajama jumpsuit or a mini-dress that looks like boutique wrapping paper (I’m easy), but you’ve gotta get up there and sell the hell out of it. Her body language does not match her fashion choices this week.

    • Trashaddict says:

      Marion’s lovely but she’s always dressed pretty strange and not in a good Cate Blanchette kind of way. She desperately needs to hire a good stylist.

  9. Abigail says:

    They both look great. I wish their lives had aligned in such a way that they could have been together.
    I too prefer him in the morning photocall pictures, and that was really, really early. He neither looked nor sounded hungover to me.

  10. Jen43 says:

    I think they both look great in both sets of photos, especially at the premiere. This is the hottest Fassbender has looked in ages. I love Marion, but would have preferred an English woman play Lady MacBeth. She is too iconic a figure to mess with.

  11. Kiki says:

    Marion Cotillard is a great actress and is probably the finest actress in the worl of cinema. In terms of beauty I think is she is gorgeous. As for Michael Fassbender, I am not surprised he will be nominated for an Oscar again for best actor this time, because that the category he need to be, but from the looks of of he says he will not campaign for an Oscar, but he sure is kissing ass to get an Oscar, because Harvey Weinstein loves his ass kissed by both stars. And that includes his Swedish girl fling.

  12. Allison says:

    Her jumpsuit looks like one of those multi-colored candy canes they have at Christmas. I’m not feeling it, though I do want to lick it.

  13. BadAssCompass says:

    don’t think they hooked up, but both are gorgeous and fine actors so having FassIon would’ve been a treat. Also, this is gonna get so many Oscars.

  14. Jayna says:

    Her legs look great in that dress. The guys look great in their midnight blue suits.

  15. Greek chic says:

    She looks great in the Dior dress.
    The jumpsuit is awful, I hate ulyana sergeenko’s designs…all her stuff is terrible,how has she become popular?
    Fassy is pretty, but am I the only one that doesn’t get his hype? I mean he’s gorgeous for sure but something is missing…Give me Charlie Hunnam or Colin Farrell any day.

  16. LAK says:

    He’s not very tall, is he?

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      I think he’s 5’9 maybe 5’10? Don’t forget MC has heels on (even if not very high ones).

  17. PennyLane says:

    Her because she is so very, very beautiful. Fassbender looks like a happy lizard on a rock, which although I have nothing against lizards, is not all that appealing to me.

    Interesting commentary on the whole heels-required thing at Cannes:

  18. meh says:

    This hairstyle makes her look like a brunette Reese Witherspoon, which I am not into. I prefer her typical wavy/soft styling.

  19. Camille (The Original) says:

    Love him. Yum.

  20. jc says:

    Just received an invite to see this movie on Wednesday night, but also have an invite to see to a How to Get Away with Murder screening with Viola Davis. Too many screenings in one week! What to do!

  21. Martin says:

    I would LOVE to have sex with Marion . . . AGAIN!!

    😉

  22. Lucy says:

    Their pics at the Amfar gala are far more interesting, they showed major PDA and were almost kissing in front of everyone, including Fassbender’s Swedish daughter who was ignored over there, he was chatting with his exes Zoe Kravitz and Madalina, flirting with other women like the Russian model who was sitting next to him (https://instagram.com/p/29HmARPASs/), while Alicia’s consolation prize was sitting at Harvey Weinstein’s table. Two days later, Alicia is “in talks” to join Assassins’ Creed, a movie starred and produced by Fassbender and co-starred by Cotillard… One day later they pose together for the first time at the Monaco F1 Grand Prix… Their Oscar campaign started earlier this time!, Fassbender is just proving how much he cares about Oscar with all those PR stunts, nothing needs to be said about Alicia aka “I’m ready to be more known and I’ll have 3 films in contention next year”.

    Btw, Harvey Weinstein introduced Fassbender and Vikander as a couple at a party in Cannes last week, he wants to make them the next Brangelina… too bad that no one is buying this PR relationship right now.

  23. perplexed says:

    Michael Fassbender is handsome, but Marion Cottilard’s husband is just as handsome or even more so, so I don’t see why she’d need to cheat. (Yeah, I know there are other reasons why people cheat, but on a purely superficial looks level, I don’t see the point in this case. I assume the rumours started because good-looking people are involved).

  24. Coco says:

    I really love her
    husband!

  25. Lizounette says:

    I don’t think she’s wearing a bra under that jumpsuit. And that’s ok with me.

  26. Jesse says:

    What the hell is he doing with Alicia Vikander again? Marion is sooooooooooooooooo much more gorgeous, talented and nice. But Fassbender really has problems in choosing his girlfriends, we can’t deny that.
