Just when you think you might be done with Michael Fassbender, he manages to pull you back in. Michael covers the latest issue of the New York Times’ T Style Magazine. The photographs – which you can see here – are gorgeous, and shot by legendary photographer Bruce Weber. Weber’s camera captures the pure beauty of Fassy’s face, the excellent jawline, the bright, wide eyes, the shark-tooth smile. Don’t believe me? Weber also shot a short video. For Fassloonies, this is basically the best kind of Fass-p0rn.
Sigh… so beautiful. I mean, yes, it’s artsy-fartsy and if this was an actor I didn’t like that much, I would probably roll my eyes. But for Fassy… damn, now I’m having fantasies about spending a dirty weekend with him in Montauk. Fassy gave T Magazine an interview too, which is… unusual these days, because did you even realize that Fassy’s big potential Oscar contender, Jobs, isn’t being screened at TIFF, nor was it at Venice? It went to Telluride, but Fassy didn’t even show up to promote it. Is he still doing the I’m-not-really-campaigning thing? Perhaps. In any case, you can read the T Magazine piece here. Some highlights:
He doesn’t say “The Scottish Play”: Fassbender, who is playing the cursed king, just says “Macbeth.” He doesn’t really buy into prophecies, signs and superstitions.
The one exception to his lack of superstitions: “Whenever I see a solitary magpie, I salute… I guess that’s why you salute a single one. They’re supposed to be in twos. My dad has said to me, ‘How are you seeing all these solitary magpies? No one else does.’ But, I don’t know, I see them all the time.’’
He did know that 2007 was going to be his lucky year: ‘‘Maybe because I was born in 1977. I know that sounds ridiculous. I’m not saying I knew things would work out. I just felt that I had a chance coming my way, and I wanted to be ready for it.’’
Being a struggling actor/bartender: “I enjoyed the bar. But, god, I really, really, really wanted to act.’’
He doesn’t bring work home: ‘‘I don’t bring characters home with me. That’s just not the way I work.’’
His preparation method: ‘‘I go over the words again and again and again and again. Hundreds of times. It’s more of a doing than a thinking thing. I have thoughts about the characters, I learn about them, but that’s not necessarily where the majority of the work gets done.’’
He’s gotten better at interviews lately. Like, when he was promoting 12 Years a Slave, he came across as somewhat sullen at times. Maybe he’s relaxed since then, maybe he’s just gone back to the Fassy some of us fell for circa 2009-10. He does seem lighter, happier. In this T Magazine piece, he doesn’t mention Alicia Vikander at all, but there are references to his heartthrob status and his reputation as a “Casanova.” Real question: do you think Fassy will ever settle down with a lady? Do you see him getting married and having babies? Hm.
Michael Fassbender: Nobody’s fool

I would hit it so many times dude
Same here! All day every day, even though I know he’s a bit of an a*shole. There’s just something about him that grabs me.
Ditto! That pic of him in the bathtub just screams sexy to me. And I bet he’s great in the sack…he just has that vibe, that confidence.
I never wanted to be a pillow so bad in my life.
Fassy is a hottie!!!
Nope, he still looks like he doesn’t shower. And he seems a bit assholish.
Points for being ginger, though.
What is the magpie thing? Never heard of it.
Okay I know he is half german half irish but here is an english nursery rhyme and superstition:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told
@Franca: +1. He always looks a bit filthy to me and I have never heard about the magpie thing either.
The magpie thing is well known in Ireland and the UK, at least among those of the slightly more mature persuasion. And I believe it’s only considered unlucky to say Macbeth if you are in a theatre. I thought he was an attractive man before he became as well known as he is these days, but somehow he doesn’t hit the spot now. Good actor though. Loved him in the indie film Fish Tank a few years ago.
Where I grew up in Newfoundland there are a lot of Irish and we cross off a single crow. Like you trace a little x with your finger.
Now why would say that?? He was laying in the tub!!! hehe
Four times a day, 365 days of the year. Damn baby is hot in these pics. Thank you New York Times. LOL.
His eyes are everything
like a screen door in a hurricane #damn
OH HELL YEAH!!
Petri dish of STDs.
He’s called Casanova as a compliment, yet if an actress had his dating history she’d be labeled a tramp. I mean he went out with that Romanian escort.
Aye. This annoys me too.
As for Fassy settling down and having babies… aha,ahahaha, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a funny joke!
I think you’re confusing him with Gerard Butler, he dated the escort.
LE: So, I googled it. He also dated her. Umm, okay?
I see him having my babies. Hundreds of them. Gawd!
no not at all.
speaking of “hitting it” why are there never any words about his ex accusing him of beating her? this site and the posters always try to be so progressive but it seems when it comes to men they are attracted to everything is forgotten. why?
http://www.laineygossip.com/Michael-Fassbender-terrible-jeans-and-abuser/22427
Probably because the case was dropped after being investigated, the accuser had previous made false allegations against an ex, and there is absolutely no rumors/history of repeated behavior.
Rather than assume we think with our vaginas, just maybe, some of us look at the evidence—or rather, lack thereof—and say nope.
I didn’t know that woman and I’m sure she’s been through many things so don’t misconstrue this post as shifting blame, I’m just not the type to condemn someone based on one allegation with no evidence.
✌✌✌✌✌
Not only is it not forgotten, it is actually guaranteed that at least one poster will bring this up on a Fassy post.
Oh and + everything to what Maria said.
Agree completely with the Other Maria and Kitten. And people also get clever with the STD remarks. For which there is also no evidence, but hey, who cares?
Beautiful pictures.
Allergic to several antibiotics, experience side effects with others, so, no.
Lol. I think he’s pretty hot but he also seems kinda full of himself, so, no also.
lmao
Holy hell, he looks hot in these pictures!
Oh my gawd…I want to climb him so bad!
Great photos. Hard to say if he will settle down. Either way is fine. some men settle and other keep roving
I like him as an actor, I could care less about his dating history (there are tests and condoms) but he really just doesn’t do it for me. To each his own. He does have gorgeous eyes though, I will give him that.
He’s no Charle Hunnam but yeah, I probably would.
Never got his appeal – gives me the skeevy vibe. Get that same vibe from BCoop.
Great actor thou.
I just came here for the pictures. Drool.
Ugh he did it again. Every time i think I’m off Michael I get drag into him again.
But… he is so full of sh!t. I’ve seen and read many many interviews in which he specifically avoided to say MacBetth and calling it The Scottish play.
Hot,hot,hot. Fassy is an amazing actor and one of the things I like most about him is that he’s always nice with his fans.
Generally, I’m a fan, but I have to admit I found the trailer for Jobs awful. Just awful. I don’t think his casting works at all. . . .
I think he’s very appealing, but surprisingly wrinkled for a man in his later thirties. If the story were a similarly aged actress with these wrinkles, the posters here would tear her apart.
If it was a female actor the wrinkles would be photoshopped out.
Every single day of the week and twice on Sunday- after some yoga and deep stretching exercises!
It’s my turn to be the “I don’t get why people think this guy is so hot” person. He’s a good actor, but I don’t get the fuss over his looks. At all.
He’s not hot, but he IS sexy. (to me anyway)
I don’t understand his appeal either, physically. Out of character, looks like a bud light-swilling redneck who drive a Ford F-150. I do like him as an actor, though.
Well he is from South Kerry, what ye expect.
I don’t remember ever seeing an interview with him or reading an interview in a magazine, but there is just something so sexy, magnetic and powerful about him. He draws me in. Ever since I saw him in 12 Years a Slave, which was absolutely brutal, I have felt a strange attraction to him. He seems intense. But man, he is some kind of sexy!
Even if he would take a shower first- No!
aaannnnddd I found ny newest screensaver….
Yes, please.
That messy ruggedness of his is just beautiful, but that’s when I like hubs the most, too! I think my one remaining old lady ovary just burst watching those films. Lovely!
They photoshopped his baldness
heu heu heu

He’s so sexy!!! That bathtube photo is so hot!!
He is a sexy beast, but also looks like a poster child for rough living (looks a decade older than his actual age).
Marriage and babies? No.
Hit it like a blindfolded kid going for a piñata? Ab-so-freaking-lutely.
I can’t believe he’s only in his 30s. Whatever he’s doing he needs to stop. It’s making him look old af.
Hard partying and smoking is my best guess. He needs a good moisturizer and some good sleep.
He’s very attractive to me. I think if I ever had my chance, I’d put a wall up around my heart though, since he definitely is not ready for marriage IMO.
he’ll marry at 50+
Hot yes, but he looks like he is closing in on 45 not someone whos in his late 30s. Also he smokes and drinks constantly, which has certain effects on sexual performance as a man ages. Just sayin. Oh and his sluttin around has probably left him with a few gifts that keep on givin..:-D And no gifts that I want. I think hes hot to look at, but I wouldn’t actually touch him with a very long barge-pole.
God in Heaven. I can barely breathe.
I don’t care what anyone says. I would totally have hot dirty nasty sex with him. I would just need to make sure that he didn’t have any communicable diseases first.
I’m pretty sure he wraps it up. He’s no Jude Law knocking up ladies left and right.
Yes. Always.
Love him.
On Monday while sick as dog I lay in bed and watched the 1st series of Hex, my god he was so stunning on that show. Sigh.
That darn smirk – so hot!!!
