Star: Michael Fassbender & Alicia Vikander are still happening, plan to marry

73rd Venice Film Festival - 'The Light Between Oceans' - Premiere

I didn’t realize this until recently, but it seems like I’m not the only person who generally feels a sense of something “off” between Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. I’ve never really bought into their grand romance, although I’ve mostly let it go at this point – they are still together, last time anyone checked, and there doesn’t seem to be any ulterior motive behind their relationship at this point. I mean, The Light Between Oceans came and went. They promoted it. It bombed. Everybody moved on. And Alicia and Michael are still hanging in there. But Blind Gossip would have you believe all kinds of things. Hm…

In any case, both Star Magazine and the National Enquirer would have you believe that Alicia and Fassy are going to get married. ORLY??

Michael Fassbender is ready to take the next step with girlfriend Alicia Vikander.

“Michael has come to realize that he’ll never find anyone so perfectly suited for him,” reveals a source close to the couple. “They’ve always been competitive career-wise, but Alicia doesn’t nag or hassle him and his family absolutely adores her. Even Michael’s strict Irish mom wants him to put a ring on Alicia’s finger already!”

After spending the last three years adrift, Fassbender and Vikander plan to put down permanent roots in LA. Adds the source: “They’ve excited to start building a life together!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

If Fassy and Vikander end up getting engaged or married, I will eat my hat. I don’t think Fassy is strictly no-marriage EVER, I just don’t think he has any desire to get married at this moment, to Alicia or anyone else. Interestingly enough, Gossip Cop spoke to a “source close to Fassbender” who says Fassy and Vikander are not planning to get married on New Year’s (which is what the Enquirer claimed). I don’t know… I miss the Old Fassy. I miss the guy who looked like he could bang his way through most of Europe and America. He just seems so neutered with Vikander. Who knows?

    okay

    • lind says:

      Tomb Raider is coming, a more aggressive promotion is on the horizon. They are going to play this card, squeeze every little PR juice from this union. Then, he doesn’t like to live in the US, he loves Europe he said it so many times, so did A, they just don’t seem the LA type. So this clearly shows the gossip is fake.

    • Sunglasses Aready says:

      Is anyone really surprised about this story. Both their stars are descending in a horribe way and they both need attention. This summers blockbusters will seal their fates and from one of them a new ‘it girl’ will be born.

  2. Cupcake says:

    Your first sentence says it all. As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this post the word “off” came to mind. She seems so staid and I picture him with someone a little saucier but I’m not sure who?

  3. Shijel says:

    Sure they are. Fake relationship, + Alicia Vikander is apparently constantly tripping on pills. But I suppose this news is Tomb Raider producers’ attempt at deflecting the drug rumours.

    • Squiggisbig says:

      That crossed my mind as well.

      • rachel says:

        SQUIGISBIG : I should have said stories with any type of proof. And please, when people on set wants to leaks they don’t go on freaking blind gossip, a site that most people view as BS. To be anonymous and make some kind of impact on the gossip world you have the Post and other gossip newspapers. Even cinema centric publications could talk about it, not in explicit ways, but certainly reporters would talk about an delayed production. Frankly if you want to talk shit about someone can you choose something less sordid than drug issue. I can’t with people who think it’s a okay to invent drug problem.

    • rachel says:

      What are you talking about?! They are zero rumors of any type of bizarre behaviour from her. Plus she’s so unwell that she’s already booked for two new movies. I feel like I’m on Tumblr.

      • Squiggisbig says:

        If by zero rumors you mean it’s literally in the link in the story you are commenting on then sure.

        Booking work is not a sign that someone doesn’t have a drug problem. Tons of actors who have struggled with drugs continue to work. Matthew Perry, for example, continued to work on friends and booked movies on the side while he was addicted to pain killers.

      • Deveraux says:

        um…you just read some.

        Yeah, I believe ‘blind gossip’. This relationship is fake-a-rooni. Fake-a-lama-rama-ding-dong.

        fake.

      • Saks says:

        Apparently blind gossip has hinted it but still there is nothing to support this claims. I’m guessing ppl just don’t like her for their Fassy and they are still trying to come with some sort of justification for a fake relationship.

      • lind says:

        She has not been present at recent Vuitton shows and the yearly magazine cover. Why do you think that? Clearly something is going on possibly her addiction. That’s really nasty, hope she gets well. This rumours are not coming from nowhere, there’s usually some seed of truth in there..

      • rachel says:

        lind@ Or because she was actually filming the movie?!

    • arbelia says:

      Well those not based on nothing( i don’t say they’re true, but they’re based on facts ). She admitted to have been addicted to painkillers when she was in Ballet school. She said she and the other girl would always share painkillers, because they all were addicted. They all were in constant pain. And as she said that she has a lifelong-and painful- back condition because of an injury she got there.. It’s very clear to see how people would assume she still use painkillers.

      • M.A.F. says:

        Thank you! I was about to write something similar about an interview she gave where she talks about pills being passed around while dancing.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I don’t know if I believe the rumors, and ultimately I don’t care. But I have to admit, she always looks so sleepy and out of it in her red carpet photos. She might be overworked or jetlagged, etc., but there never seems to be any light in her eyes.

      No matter what the truth is, I hope she is healthy.

    • J. says:

      Where’re these “rumors”? Tumblr? Blind Gossip? Do you realize that this stuff is submitted by Fassbender’s deranged stans? I know this for a fact because every blind item is exactly based on what they discuss on their tumlr blogs.

  4. Anatha says:

    Oh man. Why are people so hellbent to think something is off? Wouldn’t be the first couple to start at a filmset or the first to promote their movie with a lovestory. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
    I doubt they marry and start a family anytime soon, but they might stick together for a while longer without anything being “off”.
    Why though is Vikander painted as the one with the problems? There never have been any sights or rumours, beside made up stuff on tumblr or blind item sites.

    • SJ says:

      Her drug & drinking problems have affected how she works, particularly on Tomb Raider. People who work on movie sets always talk if there’s drama (no matter how top secret a movie is), so these rumors aren’t just coming from blinds.
      Fassbender is a big partier too, though, I guess it’s not talked about as much because he’s able to reign it in when he works.

      • Chinoiserie says:

        If the film was a month beyond schedule there would be real info from industry gossip and not blind items.

      • M.A.F. says:

        They also went to one of the Gallagher brother’s birthday party that was cocaine themed. And Michael has been photographed piss drunk in the past.

    • Shijel says:

      Tomb Raider is literally a month behind schedule because of Alicia’s absences and inability to work due to being under the influence and the scrambling of producers to try and deflect negative attention from the movie is pretty legendary at this point.

      • Fanny says:

        Where have you all read this stuff about Alicia having a substance problem & affecting Tomb Raider other than blind items?

        Those Blind Gossip items always match what is being said by her haters on Tumblr. It’s clear it’s the same people submitting them to BG.

      • Caroline says:

        “Tomb Raider is literally a month behind schedule”

        Do you have actual proof of this beyond BlingGossip shit and Tumblr people?

      • ichsi says:

        @Fanny It’s a circle that feeds itself. I can’t believe I’m defending Alicia Vikander here, but the people spreading those rumours on tumblr are batsh*t crazy and it’s scary how easily and readily their ramblings are accepted as true.

      • Lilly says:

        It is like a snake eating its tail.

      • arbelia says:

        Concerning the substance problem, i remember an interview where she said she used to be “addicted” to painkillers when she was at Ballet School, because she was constantly in pain, like all the other ballerinas.
        And when she was there, she hurt her back, which she said never recovered. So she still suffers from this back injury.
        It’s no wonder that rumours about her having a substance abuse would emerge ( or that when a blind item refers to an actress being addicted to” pills “, people would point to her). If that’s true , that’s pretty sad!

      • Gina says:

        B.S. We finished shooting today. On time. On budget. On schedule. What’s more, Alicia is one of the loveliest actresses I’ve had the privilege of working with, while we were in South Africa and in London. She was always polite & friendly to all the crew (my husband also worked on this production, in a different dept to me) Although Alicia did have stunt doubles, damn if that girl didn’t try doing as many of them herself. She pushed herself harder than anyone else. P.S. To all the die hard Jolie / Croft fans. Alicia might not have had Angie’s massive implants, but physically she is Linda Hamilton (Terminator) strong

      • rachel says:

        Gina@ I can’t know for sure if you tell the truth of course but the director of Tomb Raider just announced on twitter that the movie wrapped today.

      • paranormalgirl says:

        I have a friend who was on set on Tomb Raider for a little bit in London last month and she said similar things to what Gina said. She said she had heard rumours about Alicia, and was pleasantly surprised that none of them appeared to be true.

    • Miss Melissa says:

      Lack of chemistry in real life interactions?

      • Minxx says:

        exactly! Fassbender seems neutered when near her, not even a warm frendship vibe.

    • Saks says:

      This

    • rachel says:

      @Arbelia She didn’t say she was addicted to painkiller, she just talked about the wide spread use of painkiller in the ballet world. It’s quiet diferent.

      • arbelia says:

        She said exactly ” in a sense we were all addicted”. The way she described it ( each time a girl would get a painkiller presciption , she would hid it in a locker
        and share it with all the other girls) really shows an addictive situation to me.

      • rachel says:

        Addicted to pain if I remember well. You could be right but you have to admit that’s it’s pretty thin to start calling someone a drug adict.

      • Malificent says:

        Sounds to me like the truth is somewhere in between. She may have chronic back problems that can cause issues aND require pain management. But that doesn’t necessarily mean an out-of-control addiction. Sounds like she’s functional and professional from the first person sources on this thread.

      • J. says:

        The thing about her interview is that it’s a vicious circle. When that interview makes the rounds on tumblr and it’s used to fabricate stories, it suddenly appears a blind about the pills addiction and those exact same stories. That interview is used as a proof.

  5. SJ says:

    I doubt this is true, but if it is, then that’s kinda pathetic on her end. There have been rumors flying around for a long time that Fassbender cheats on Vikander, which I’m sure she’s aware of on some level. Expecting a guy to be faithful after marriage never works out.

    • rachel says:

      Seriously all of this is just fanfiction. It’s amazing how people love to create drama where there is nothing. The Tomb Raider filming is so far the same lenght as any blockbuster. It’s weird really that Vikander who is mostly known for her movie and not any type of problems is now the source of baseless story because she’s dating an internet boyfriend. Like… Ok.

      • SJ says:

        @rachel You seem pretty upset by this. What makes you so certain this is all “just fanfiction”? Do you know for a fact they’re the perfect couple & Vikander is a nice drama-free actress, or is it just your opinion? Cuz I’ve heard the exact opposite–and not from Tumblr or blinds–from legitimate industry people. Thanks to social media, if you’re a celeb who’s got a drug problem or is a jerk, word will spread twice as fast.

        And if you doubt Fassbender would cheat on her, do some digging, he’s not-so-secretly done the same thing to other girlfriends (Nicole B).

      • rachel says:

        Did I ever said that they were a perfect couple? I think you just invented that just like your drug problem story. You are certainly upset by the fact that those two people you don’t know are dating, seriously your comment is not original. I could switch name with another internet boyfriend. Slandering the woman who is dating an internet boyfriend isn’t new, it’s just the same behaviour repeated over and over. And yes I’m tired of those ridiculous fangirls comments rooted in deep misogyny.

      • Kiki says:

        @SJ That I can agree with you on. I may like Michael Fassbender but he is a womanizer. That’s what seems off from him.

      • Squiggisbig says:

        How is this fan fiction? If he actually had a lot of fans then his last few films would not have bombed (examples: assassins creed, light between oceans, that alien movie).

      • Anatha says:

        Please, fanbases don’t mean movie success anymore. No actor is such a big start that they can keep a movie from bombing.

      • J. says:

        @SJ Can you please say who are these legitimate industry people? I’ve also heard the opposite. Where have you read that she’s causing drama on set?

    • Zuzus Girl says:

      SJ- If you look at the comments above, there are several people who here who worked on TR who said all those rumors of her bad behavior were bullshit and the movie wrapped on time and budget.

  6. Yeahright says:

    Gossip cop shot this down.

  7. Original T.C. says:

    I don’t believe the marriage rumor but I do believe they are a stable couple going on 2 years together. IDK, I feel like Fassy and Ryan Gosling fans are similar in that they don’t buy both men’s current relationships because both women are different ethnically from their prior girlfriends. So they “seem” off.

    And I will add Prince Harry to that list. People are used to seeing him with a Caucasian blonde so it’s hard to believe he would be interested in someone that does not “fit” his usual profile. It’s a preception thing and happens in real life too. But love is unpredictable, humans aren’t robots following a script. You can connect with someone outside of your usual type. JMO.

    • Miss Melissa says:

      I think that is a pretty sweeping generalization. Maybe folks just want to see some passion and affection between couples like these two. I for one would love to see it, because I love seeing people happy together. I’m in the something is off camp, because it sure does look like something is off. That’s it!

      I don’t know what type or race has to do with it? I’m a fan of the types of people who look mad for each other.

      • Alleycat says:

        @Miss Melissa Why should you have to see passion from a couple you don’t know personally to believe it’s real? You literally only see random pictures of them, how can you even possibly tell there’s no passion?

      • JoJo says:

        Well, the race thing absolutely doesn’t apply to Fassy. His prior girflfriends before Vikander were both black – Zoe Kravitz and his co-star from the movie Shame. So, if you want to use that argument, his fans would be happier to see him with Vikander now.

      • rachel says:

        JoJo@ If you have ever visited Lipstick Alley, I’m sure you could understand Original TC points. Now that being said his previous black girlfriends were trashed by some of his racist fangirls, because Fassbender’s fandom is awful.

      • Miss Melissa says:

        I didn’t say I should have to, and I rather plainly explained why I hoped to.

        And you don’t know what I’ve seen or not seen. Cheers.

    • Kiki says:

      @Original TC Hey leave off Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I love these two together and I don’t want them to mess up. This has everything to do with Meghan is a woman and not because she is black.

      And speaking of relationships. Michael Fassbender doesn’t like Alicia Vikander (then again, who remotely likes this woman anyway, I still believe she is a stuck up ass woman that claims to be a “realist” O f*king please). I am so sorry to say this, I believe they are real to push for pr purposes.

      Now Michael Fassbender can date whomever he wants. I still love MF but I absolutely do not AV and her miss twinkle toes smug ass.

  8. D says:

    “She doesn’t nag or hassle him” I think you need a better reason than that to get married, if someone asks – why did you get married? And you answer – she doesn’t hassle me. It’s not very romantic is it? On another note, the diamond necklace she’s wearing is beautiful.

  9. SBS says:

    It’s funny how Gossip Cop had the denial before the articles had time to make the rounds. I’m not sure exactly how GC works but it seems as if they (GC, Star and whoever the source is) was in on it together.

    • Mia4s says:

      It’s more common than most realize for tabloids to give a star’s people a heads up before they publish a story. Sometimes they are fishing for a quote to add to it; sometimes they are able to negotiate a trade (kill this story in exchange for this exclusive, etc.), and sometimes they are just making sure they won’t get sued. Crazy I know, but standard practice. That’s why Gossip Cop tends to have denials up super-fast. The stars know it’s coming.

      They’re in the “married every week” stage of gossip. If they marry it will be “pregnant every week” stage, followed by “impending divorce every week”. This is why tabloids are struggling, we all know this tune!

    • OriginallyBlue says:

      That’s because it’s all a game. Gossip Cop denied their breakup back in 2015 when US Weekly ran the story and did a couple denials last year as well, but let slide some other stories, namely the stories that they would break up after their movie promotion was over. They didn’t run any other denials until she showed up solo at the Oscars and lesser blogs (never heard of them & basically copy pasted each other) started questioning whether it was over.
      It’s funny that Star and Enquirer are running this story when they were the ones running the “they will break up after promotion is over” and how mean Fassbender is to Alicia and “she doesn’t know how much more she can take” stories last year.

  10. sophia petrillo says:

    I miss the old Fassy too. He was always so cheerful and it was like he brought the joyful party wherever he went. He’s like a ghost now.

    • Caroline says:

      Where you see “joyful party” I saw diugusting dude who looks like he constantly smells of alcohol and sweat and BO.

  11. rachel says:

    Their relationship seems perfectly normal two actors who met on set. “shrug”. Nobody cares because those two are pretty drama free. The only problem there are the one invented by fassy fangirls.

    • Mathilde says:

      I agree, a good fit as well and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they marry.

  12. LooperFor says:

    She is way too freaking good for him. He repulses me.

    • rachel says:

      Lmao. This, frankly he is lucky that she just look at him.

      • ell says:

        hahaha, so true. i honestly don’t get the hate. i mean, i’m lying, i do get it because she just rubs his stans the wrong way, but still.

      • Minxx says:

        Seriously? She’s totally devoid of any charisma or personality. I tried to like her, really did but there is nothing behind the pretty face, nothing. As an actor she’s completely forgettable. He at least is very talented. I mean, if they date, good for them but it sure feels odd.

      • Katarina says:

        Minx. I thought the same until I saw her in ex machina

  13. Talie says:

    The Blindgossip items supposedly about her are absolutely frightening!

  14. KBeth says:

    I find her so incredibly bland.

  15. FishBeard says:

    Jeez, the hatred and spite some women have for this woman because she’s dating this man, who will never give them the time of day, is ridiculous. I like her. She’s a terrific actress, ambitious, and these two are cute together. If anything, she’s the one who could do better.

    • Shijel says:

      Always this one person who thinks that women only criticise other women when they’re jealous of their men.

    • ichsi says:

      I don’t like her, but I agree. She could do a lot better than him, and the amount of vitriol his jealous fans are throwing at her is unbelievable.

    • Kiki says:

      I am not hating on her because I am jealous she is dating MF which I literally don’t care about these two. I don’t like her attitude. Ambition does not equal smug. She takes herself way too serious and for the love of the universe she needs to lighten up. She’s has bad comedic timing and do get me started on her action films….. what I find her most believable (apart for playing a robot on Ex-machina, because she is practical acting is robotic) is that she can actually cry on cue. This girl has no range and substance.

      I don’t like stuck up people or arrogance. I will name a few, Alicia Vikander is one, Henry Cavill is #2, Shia Lebeouf is an a***hole and I can name many more. ALICIA VIKANDER NEEDS TO LIGHTEN UP AND STOP TAKING HERSELF TOO SERIOUS.

    • KBeth says:

      It always amuses me when someone gets pissy because an anonymous poster on a gossip website doesn’t like the same celebrity as them, lol.
      Not remotely envious as I am indifferent to Fassbender and could not care less who he dates.

      • Bethy says:

        Yeah me too. I’m demisexual, but lean more towards women these days, so do not care one iota about Fassy. He looks like he reeks of cigerettes, booze and coke. Not attractive at all to me. Alicia does nothing for me and I’ve seen her in multiple movies. She’s a blah actress, but because she’s not my cup of tea doesn’t mean I’m jealous of her.

        Now Gal Gadot? I’d hit that in a heartbeat or become poly for her and her hot husband! 🙂

  16. tw says:

    Seems like damage control since her addiction is holding Tomb Raider hostage.

    • Anatha says:

      And you know that why? Where is the proof?

      • Buttery says:

        Silly rabbit, her publicist is not going to let ‘proof’ of something like that get out. Someone in the production was frustrated enough to leak it to Blind Gossip as a warning to her, though: the next step is the tabloids.

      • Anatha says:

        Sorry, but tabloids have more credibility than blind gossip. Nearly everything I ever read on Blind Gossip was first on tumblr. I don’t see that any credible source. Her publicist isn’t as powerful that he could keep people from talking if there was something legitimately wrong with her. If the production had a problem with her we’d know about it, because there would be talk about her being demanding or difficult or delaying the production. Official on industry sites, not on Blind Gossip.

    • Mia4s says:

      No skin in this game for me but the movie wrapped yesterday, well within average shooting time for an action movie so…? Methinks some people are writing fan fiction.

      http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/857033-new-tomb-raider-movie#/slide/2

  17. PAm says:

    I dont think they are a fake PR couple or whatever but I definetly think there is something really off about them.

  18. Grant says:

    I think they’re both super basic.

  19. Kate says:

    Fassy fangirls are something else. I love how the rumors about Alicia’s substance abuse must be true but not the ones about their dream boyfriend’s violent behavior.
    Also, we are supposed to believe that Blind items has all the tea on Alicia’s absences even though they didn’t know shit about what was going on with ScarfMonster’s out of control, alcohol-induced violence against his wife during the shooting of POTC. Pleeeeeeeese, give me a break.

  20. Keely says:

    People lose me when they point to blind gossip/ items as evidence of something. Seriously isn’t 99% of blind gossip invented by fan girls? I mean I fall in the “this relationship seems off” camp but that’s based on nothing other than I just get nothing from this couple. They could be extremely happy and in love for all I know.

  21. Cleo says:

    Reading these comments reminds me of the Hunterbatch Insanity of 2015 and how demonized that poor woman was on here.

    They’re in a relationship. That’s no reason to catch a case of vapors.

    What do they have to gain by pretending to be and not posing for pap pictures 24/7? I’m fascinated by stans that are just so infuriated that their fave isn’t with them, but also pretty disturbed.

    • rachel says:

      Lmao. I’m glad that some people are coming to talk some sense. And you’re said it. You don’t see them getting photographed a lot. Most of time the only way to know that they are together is picture with fans and random sighting on social media, so in their private time. It’s just ridiculous to pretend that those two busy people would dedicate their time to this fake relationship for no one to see.

    • Anatha says:

      Totally agree. People aren’t even simply against the relationship (fair enough), but they invent insane rumours to justify it. I couldn’t care less if people dislike them as a couple or think Alicia Vikander is an ambitious bitch. Those drug rumours and fake relationship (as you said for whom and why so long undercover?) talk is something else though.

      • Cleo says:

        +1 on the drug rumors in particular.

        To try and spread unsubstantiated rumors about someone being a drug addict just because you don’t like them is really low.

      • Buttery says:

        Hey Anatha, you should listen to the most recent Dirtcast podcast. I think it might open your eyes a little.

      • Hikaru says:

        @Buttery, the Twin Peaks one? What does that have to do with Alicia?

      • Buttery says:

        @Hikaru, no sorry the second most recent. It’s titled “Your favorite celebrity couple is probably faking it” or something similar. It’s not about Fassy & Alicia, just about how to spot fake relationships in general.

      • Hikaru says:

        @Buttery, sounds interesting, thanks!

      • Anatha says:

        I’m not denying that during promo they are playing it up. They most definitely did. Not sure if they are such a happy couple either, but the idea that everything is fake is over the top.

    • Minxx says:

      What they gain? Just read any basic article on PR couples in Hollywood.
      She’s gaining his name next to her in every article (sorry, but she can’t stand on her own, even after the Oscar), photo ops with him when exposure is needed for a new production (people love to read about couples/engagements/breakups etc etc), he’s gaining reputation as a steady and serious boyfriend (as opposed to party animal and womanizer) . Not to mention he may be gaining less obvious advantages we don’t know about (re his production company). There is plenty to gain on both sides, if you’re willing to pose for photos once in a while. I never thought he was in a fake relationship before, btw, but PR couples are very common in HW, some of them go on for years.

      • rachel says:

        No one cares about Fassbender enough to see his own movie. He Can’t even attracted publicity for himself I doubt he can do that for her.

      • Cleo says:

        Yeah, I know PR couples are a thing, I just personally avoid labeling anyone like that unless it’s blatantly just for attention. Think Henry Cavill/Kaly Cuoco or anyone Taylor Swift dates. Because you can say literally any couple is just low-key PR, that doesn’t make it true. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

        It’s just the aggression and vitriol I’ve seen here today and in the past. I save my bitchiness for people that obviously deserve it *shrug*

        What they gain when they share their private time and just a few fans see a pic posted on instagram? Re photo-ops with him: they’ve wasted a lot of opportunities to appear together. They rarely appear publicly. Journalists were even ignoring they were dating when they were both nominated. What does his little production company have to do with a relationship that is not talked about anywhere?

    • Elsa says:

      Calm down. It’s like 3 people going back and forth, most people don’t care about or even know these people.

    To my eyes, Old Fassy looks like a guy who’s blasting pheromones because he’s not committed to anyone and wants to cast a wide a net as possible so he doesn’t miss out on any juicy opportunities.
    Current Fassy looks like a guy who’s in a committed relationship and isn’t looking for any juicy opportunities elsewhere. I can see how that would come across as looking “neutered”.
    If he starts projecting that DTF anything/anyone aura again, we’ll know his current relationship is over. Until then, I have no problems accepting that they’re a legitimate couple.

  23. Rae says:

    I don’t get the fake vibe from them, not one little bit.

    I think the only thing off, in the sense of being away from the norm, is how low key Fassbender is. They’re in a long term relationship, I only see them pop up ever so often when someone grabs a snap, and they have no drama. I don’t get where the fakeness is coming from???

    • Wonderbunny says:

      I can understand him (and her) wanting to be low key. That doesn’t seem odd at all. For me the “off” thing is just how I can’t see any emotion in her. He has always seemed a bit more “fiery” and playful. That’s why they seem like a mismatched couple to me. They also don’t look like a couple in love, but that could just be her “coolness”. She’s certainly allowed to be and love in a way that’s appropriate to her.

      I don’t understand the point of fake relationships though. You’d think that it was more interesting to fans if they were both fake single!

      I hope they are both happy, regardless.

    • Mathilde says:

      There are so many people who have no need to appear to be in love, but prefer to keep private stuff private. I’d be suspicious if they were smooching and gazing into each others eyes every opprtunity they get in front of cameras. But they’re not. So what does that tell you? Seems pretty serious to me!

  24. sara says:

    he is amazing actor, BUT I would like to see her with someone younger and better.

  25. smee says:

    What in Heidi-Hell is she wearing in that first pic?

  26. OriginallyBlue says:

    I’m also in the something is off camp, between the premiere pics, obvious pap pics and the they definitely didn’t know they were being photographed pics, I don’t buy it, but it doesn’t matter. Whatever they are doing is working for them.

    1. This story is absolutely a deflection, it doesn’t matter if 99% of BG is bs, some stories have been true and the fact that the rumour is out there doesn’t help. I remember this movie started filming in January and was apparently supposed to move to London in April to do the final month, I don’t care for her or it so I don’t know if it’s still filming. Films have hundreds of people working on them, so if there is something wrong I’m sure there is someone out there not so quietly bitching about.

    2. If she had addiction problems back in ballet school and hurt herself training or doing a stunt it isn’t crazy to think she would fall back on her old pain management routine.

    3. I don’t see either of them settling down any time soon, especially her. If she is perfectly fine and healthy her main focus is her career, if she isn’t then her focus is keeping herself together for her career.

    4. Both have stated that they don’t like living in the US, especially LA so why would they get married and settle down there? Especially when both their families, except for his sister live overseas and his parents are getting up there in age.

    • J. says:

      It was supposed to move to London in May. There’re not delays. I saw articles about it back in January. They wrapped up the other day.
      I could have agreed with you about a deflection if legitimate sources had hinted at problems on set recently. The irony is that it’s why some people have brought these items up to begin with,as you can see.It’s blind gossip and it’s nothing new. This site has been recycling this so-called rumor for months. The last blind even came out after this story. Their publicist would have also found a more credible story,as you’ve explained. I’ve read the interview where she talks about her ballet days and she has never said that she had real addiction problems. The thing about her interview is that it’s a vicious circle. It’s not even up for discussion that every blind about them or her looks copy-pasted from stans’ blogs.

  27. Alison F says:

    I could have sworn I read a couple months after her Oscar win that they had broken up. I assumed they have been broken up all of this time . Especially, since she is basically taking every acting role away from Felicity Jones, Emily Blunt, Carey Mulligan, Noomie Rapace and working on the unnecessary reboot of Tomb Raider which will be wooden like her acting!

  28. angie0717 says:

    I feel the exact same way. Something is off and he does seem neutered… also, she seems nervous in her own skin. Off, right?

  29. lily says:

    Forget gossips…do you really think she looks healthy and happy? even in those TR’s set pictures she looks terrible, she looked unhealthy at oscar´s weekend events, always bitter (mostly when she is near him). I am worry for her, she needs help not kiss ass people saying she looks great. The rumors and the delay from TR (6 months shooting and is still) set are on internet, she is lucky to not be so famous enought because the scandal will be terrible (like Lindsay Lohan/RDJ years ago). MF turned in some boring old guy, i know his people (AV and MF share the same PR team, PR Premier in UK) is trying to sell him like a stable serious man but that is playing against him: flops lately, boring image (he needs to change his stilyst team asap) and he lost a lot of fans (Well, CB is one of them). There are a lot of better looking, great and with a interesting personality actors out there to keep waiting for the old Fassy.

  30. Skylark says:

    LMAO @ the stans! The smell of denial and desperation on this thread is making my eyes water!

    I really like them, both separately and as a couple, and if they do decide to get married, well good for them, although they don’t need to do that to ‘prove’ anything about their relationship to me or anyone else since their relationship and how they conduct it is their business.

    But for ‘stan-hysteria’ laughs, I hope they DO get married! Tomorrow would be good, just to see the fallout on here. 😀

  31. María says:

    Yes, there is something off, they look miserable together, like they hate each other, they are actors you will think they can pretent to like each other. Remember, The Light Between Oceans (I hate the movie and the book is just an airport book, too cheesy) was release last may in Japan. We need to wait until this fall if they are not going to use the showmance to promote Snowman and Submergence. There is a Blind Gossip of a fake couple who share the same PR team and the support of a powerful producer who were ask to stay together to make them relevant.

  32. AnotherDirtyMartini says:

    Meh…I’m not going to believe the addiction rumors at this point. Who knows? If she indeed has back pain, it could be something as innocent as having an rx bottle w/her and/or her taking a pill in front of someone and boom! Someone runs with it, and she’s suddenly an addict.

    I’ve had severe back pain for most of my life, having been born with spina bifida. I’ve had back surgeries and am in pain every day of my life. Even with all those facts in place, I’ve had some hateful relatives who spin it and claim I’m faking it. How a person “fakes” spina bifida, spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, bones spurs, etc. etc, etc. is beyond me, but it’s taught me how nasty some people can be.

    That would be totally cute if they married someday. She’s still kinda young though, but whatever makes them happy.

    • Keely says:

      Smart decision, probably the best one you’ll make all day. I wish I had, but I’m already involved. Like who knew these two invited so much commentary & vitriol? I’m gobsmacked, flabbergasted in shock..oh wow. You probably won’t see this and good for you.

      • OriginallyBlue says:

        I should have followed my gut and stayed away too. These 2 have small, but rabid fanbases that constantly go at each other and try to one up each other in “proof”. It’s why I walked away from his fanbase (long time fan, the craziness on both sides killed my lady boner for him, I don’t get her hype) months ago. It’s so stupid and exhausting and you can’t enjoy anything without it turning it into a thing.

    • LA Elle says:

      I feel the same way. Reading the comments here, I couldn’t help but wonder what sort of insanity descended upon Celebitchy.

  34. M.A.F. says:

    For those that keep saying she is holding up filming Tomb Raider, she isn’t. It wrapped today. I found sources at superherohype.com and comingsoon.net

  35. Idky says:

    I’m tired of people saying they are together for publicity. Really? Is that logical? They are totally low key, never flaunt or talk about their relationship and on very rare interviews when they appear together, they seem to really enjoy eachother’s company. I think he found someone who he seems to respect and care about. Leave them be.

  36. Skylark says:

    Let’s not forget that the CB writer who used to wet her knickers over everything (single) Fassbinder did has actively encouraged this deeply unpleasant madness purely because Fassy has taken up with a woman who is not her.

    Make no mistake, that’s at the absolute root of it. Click on ‘Michael Fassbender’ for a history.

  37. Dumbledork says:

    So we complain when couples are all over social media, documenting their every move, every poop, and kiss. But then take a couple who’s off the radar, not shoving their relationship in our face, and not humping each other during their promotional rounds, and they’re in a fake relationship? Which is it?

    • LA Elle says:

      I feel like actors can’t win. And I don’t get the whole: They don’t seem lovey-dovey in paparazzi shots, therefore they must be miserable. One, as people get older, the need / desire for PDA tends to lessen, and I know just for myself, I would probably be less affectionate with a partner if I knew I was being photographed, just because that’s no one’s business.

      For all I think most actors like attention, I get that a lot of them – especially more serious actors – don’t want attention drawn to their private lives.

  38. Sage says:

    I think it is hilarious people think they are faking a relationship for over 2 years!

    Fassbender does not seem neutered, more like he doesn’t give a crap and content.

    • LA Elle says:

      Content is a good word for Fassy. I’ve actually wondered if Fassbender has gotten comfortable with the increased level of fame (many, many actors have talked about how it takes a couple of years to adjust to being a big name) and if, while he still drinks, he’s gotten it under control, both of which would explain his more public mellowness.

  39. Elsa says:

    You have like 2-3 crazies on LSA going back and forth like mad women and you can’t help but feel sorry for them, like get a life you obviously are miserable.
    Then you have the rest (white) female Tumblr’s everywhere else and they are certified nuts.
    Fassbender has the worst fanbase lol and you can’t help but wonder why. He’s so old and unattractive these days and he’s not that charming. He speaks through gritted teeth and seems over it all.
    No wonder seeing as his nutty fans don’t even go see his movies :-/

  40. Karen says:

    WTF is going on with the posts in this thread? It’s cray cray.

  41. Hikaru says:

    To be honest, seeing multiple people doing cleanup on gossip sites by claiming to know/work with Alicia and defending her gives more credibility to all these crazy rumors.

    • rachel says:

      It’s not how it works in real life. Seriously after reading this crazy thread I understand now how people can believe in pizzagate and fake news. Something based on nothing is being taken as a fact by some. I’m not sure why you’re so surprised that people would defend her, this is the reaction that people have when they saw someone – whoever that person is – getting trash for no reason.

  45. Portia says:

    I think the reason the two seem “off” is because I don’t think either of them like the celebrity aspect of being an actor. They look like a normal couple who is confident and comfortable in their relationship without unnecessary or over the top PDA to shill a PR relationship. Having watched her interviews and how she talks about her private life, she seems right up in the partying dept with Fassy so no doubt the two know how to have a good time in their private life. But I do think both are uncomfortable with being celebrities.

    They definitely love acting and you can tell they’re passionate about it and work hard but I don’t think they like the red carpet and PR games part of it which is why their public appearances seem cold and off. They did this webcam interview together for The Light Between Oceans and you could tell they were a couple who had a good connection and were very comfortable with each other. But that’s probably because it was in a hotel room without a red carpet and cameras going off. Just because you’re an actor and enjoy it doesn’t mean you’re necessarily into the glamor or celeb part of it.

  46. Read through the tread…

    @Gina
    Looking forward to TB! I thought Linda Hamilton looked fabulous with her sleek toned body in Terminator. Not bad if Alicia emulates it.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed and liked Ex Machina and The man from uncle which are the movies I’ve seen with her. Not a “fan” that have seen all her work but like what I have seen!
    Wish her luck both professional and with her private life.

  47. spidey says:

    More important than all that gossip what the heck is that top that he is wearing in the photo?

    • third ginger says:

      Hi! I don’t know about the shirt, except to say my darling husband owned something like it when I met him in 1980. And back then I thought he looked great in it!! LOL

  48. Zombie Hedgehog says:

    I’ve always found it funny when people claim that actors’ relationships must be fake because the don’t look “passionate” or “in love” enough on the red carpet. They are professional actors, so if their goal was to act like they were in love for publicity, wouldn’t they be making it more obvious?
    I know it must be different for different people, but to me it seems more strange when a couple are giving each other with heart eyes and looking comfortable while 20+ cameras are probably blinding them and photographers are screaming their names.

  49. perplexed says:

    I’m not really skeptical of his relationship with her, in the sense that she’s pretty, talented and successful. In every respect, she seems well-suited to him.

    The only thing that has made me skeptical is that he’s always seemed like he’s into women of colour (not the ones with a spray tan). Physically, she doesn’t seem like his type. When he didn’t seem to respond to any of Charlize Theron’s flirtatious advances, I figured fair (or, to be more blunt, white) women were not his type AT ALL, since I’m pretty sure Charlize Theron would be every other white man’s type, even those “deep” types that claim to love only a woman’s mind.

    Addiction issues or whatever else had never occurred to me. I think it was simply the Charlize Theron thing that made me wonder if he actually had an attraction to white women, especially given his reputation as a womanizer who has no qualms about sleeping with any woman. I mean, I figure if you’re a guy who has a reputation for being willing to sleep with anyone, I figure you’d want to sleep with Charlize Theron.

    • Andrea says:

      More than half of my ex-boyfriends have dated women of color many times prior to me. I am a fair skinned half Italian (but I am also of swedish and danish background as well). I think sometimes men have a type regarding personality and he probably is similar as well. Just from my own experience.

    • Magnoliarose says:

      I can see how it could throw people off. I am not my ex husband’s type in almost every category. I am tall, he usually liked short, I am fair to the point I was a tow head as a child, he likes dark, he likes older than me etc. Sometimes the fact that you don’t fit type is what attracts them. Plus she isn’t pale or anything.

  50. Mannori says:

    I just say that is strange for a dirt sh*t magazine like Star to come put with POSITIVE gossip and the wording of their article is weird to say the least. I think is PR planted. And no, Im not a Stan of neither of them but I also find interesting the insistence of Blind Gossip with their stories about her. I see some smoke in here,
