Michael Fassbender steps out in NYC, sounds hoarse: would you hit it?

FFN_Fassbender_Michael_INI_043015_51726545

Oh, hello Michael Fassbender. Fassy was out and about in NYC yesterday – these are photos of him leaving a hotel, where I suspect he was doing press for Slow West. God, I’ve been thinking about him so much lately. I have HBO these days (Game of Thrones) and they’ve been playing X-Men: Days of Future Past on a loop. Even though it’s kind of a terrible movie that makes no sense, I still get stuck watching it because of Fassy’s Magneto. I preferred him in X-Men: First Class, where he was basically Mutant James Bond, but God… Fassy is so watchable. Even when the film is terrible, I’ll watch him.

Anyway, there are some random Fassy stories/business to attend to:

*He’s still developing Assassin’s Creed, to star in and produce. Go here to read more about that.

*Fassy’s first feature producing venture, Slow West, debuted at Sundance this year to widespread acclaim. It will get some kind of limited theatrical release, and it’s also getting a DirectTV release, something something, whatever. To promote the movie, Vulture posted a scene from the film where Fassbender is damp and in dirty white long johns. It is an absolute SIN for a man to look that sexy in long johns. And yes, you can totally gawk at his cute butt and his barely-contained thunder – go here to watch the scene.

*Fassy spoke to MTV about his future in the X-Men films. He says that he, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult all signed three-film deals and so after X-Men: Apocalypse, J-Law and Hoult are probably done. But will he be done? He kind of leaves it open, but it feels like he might be done. There’s a video too – he sounds really hoarse here. Too many ciggies. I wish I was a throat lozenge. Let that percolate for a second.

    Sexy but he sounds exhausted here. Maybe hungover?

    • Two degrees says:

      He always looks so grubby, dirty, messy. I just don’t get it, don’t get the hype.

      • Kitten says:

        Don’t stress! You really, truly don’t have to get it.

      • pem says:

        Yeah, he does. And I approve completely.

      • Becks says:

        He’s dirty hawt! Love him.
        Kaiser, I also have HBO currently because of GOT, and I also get sucked into watching that X men movie….just because Fassy is in it 😍

      • Two Degrees says:

        He and Tom Hiddleston(sp?) confuse me, I can’t tell them apart sometimes.
        Both are excellent actress yes, but I don’t understand the hot hype with Cumber, Hiddleston or Fassy. also Fassy always looks dirty as in unwashed. IMO

    • Meatball says:

      He definitely sounds tired. I would be his pillow.

  2. Betti says:

    Judging by the look the door man is giving him in the top pic – he would!!!

  3. Sixer says:

    I’m always torn about Fassy. He’s got short legs and this is not good for a legs gal like me. Plus, the lantern jaw gives him a bit of a Desperate Dan look, which makes me want to shout COW PIE ALL ROUND! And that’s a bit of a ladyboner killer, isn’t it? On the other hand, when he’s actually acting, I think he is charismatic and as hot as hell. Hmm.

    • Kitten says:

      You like Hardy though? He’s not very tall at all.

      I just think it’s great that you’re a “legs gal”, Sixer.

      • MtnRunner says:

        I’m having a Seinfeld moment. This one is from The Implant:

        ELAINE: I never knew you were so into breasts. I thought you were a leg man.
        JERRY: A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don’t need legs. I have legs.

      • AG-UK says:

        @MtnRunner
        I love that I could quote bits form Seinfeld in all walks of life. That show still has me laughing. Fassy does have short legs and a crazy smile but he is sexy and a great actor. Looks better on film I think.

      • MtnRunner says:

        AG-UK, I love how Seinfeld could take the most mundane thing, blow it out of proportion and make me think of something from the show every damn day for the rest of my life. Especially food:

      • JM says:

        @ AG-UK

        The other day, I helped the lady in the stall next to me because she didn’t have a square or a ply, but I had plenty to spare.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I think he’s much better “live” or in motion and speaking than he is in still pictures. Sixer may be immune to the accent, but apparently I’m not.

      • Miss M says:

        He IS better “live”. But i get what Sixer is saying. His proportions are a bit off.

    • Sixer says:

      Kitten – they don’t *have* to be tall, it’s just long bodies paired with short legs I find off-putting. I am largely immune to the Hiddlesburp love we get around here but man, do I like his Puddletom legs.

      GNAT – yes. As a pin-up, I’m not interested in Fassy. But if we say we find performances attractive – and I think oftentimes we do – well, THEN I am interested. Very! 😉

    • Lilacflowers says:

      I just want to scream “penicillin!” and run for safety whenever I see him but he can be mesmerizing. I watched The Counselor because I couldn’t stop looking at him and that was not a good performance.

    • Pinky says:

      I’m with you, Sixer. I wish I could board this train, but I’m having a really difficult time. There’s just something…off. And I’m all legs as well.

      Still, “I wish I was a throat lozenge.” Ha!

    • MtnRunner says:

      Kitten, you make a good point. As Embertine said on The Assbender’s last post, I’d need a growler of cranberry juice afterwards, but yes, I would. He just needs enough leg to anchor himself.

      *hangs head in shame*

    • M.A.F. says:

      I get it. He has a “A” frame body but I think he is one of those you need to see in motion and not in still photographs.

  4. Dani2 says:

    Nope, he hasn’t been attractive to me for a looong time.

    • MrsB says:

      +1. I don’t even understand the fuss over him. He does nothing for me. *shrugs*

      • PinaColada says:

        I think he’s aging so terribly!!! My older brother is his same age and looks like a baby compared to Fassy! I’m not judging him, I myself am not aging as gracefully as my older sister (dang you for staying out of the sun, why didn’t I listen!!!) but still- not anything special.

  5. frisbeejada says:

    Doesn’t normally do it for me but a smokey Irish accent might…(although that would sound better on Aidan Turner WHO IS MINE – just thought I’d mention…sidles off)

  6. TracySmiles says:

    Climb him like a tree…. on loop. He is sex!

  7. bammer says:

    He looks terrible. I want the old Fassy back.

  8. Mia4S says:

    He looks like he needs a vacation…he can take it with me.

    He’s smart enough to know that having a franchise let’s you make mad money and then go make your prestige pics (Lawrence doesn’t need it…Hoult though?). I could see him maybe staying if James McAvoy stays. Both of them would get a great payday. Why not? Days of Future Past got great reviews so let’s see what Apocolypse does.

  9. Two degrees says:

    I don’t get the hype with him or Cumberbatch.

    • Lola says:

      I know what you mean. But he has a friend, and I was told his friends name is Emerson Johnson, who is like the juice!

    • K. says:

      Cumberbatch is not objectively good looking or conventional good looking. Good actor though. Fassbender is not the pretty boy type but he’s very attractive and charismatic. And one of the better actors working right now.

  10. Alice D says:

    I love it when he gets all intense and seductive – that scene in the X-Men film when himself and J-Law get to grips with each other in the corridor does it for me all the time!

    • Jules says:

      @Alice D: Yeah!…Love that scene as well. Lawrence and Fassbender have terrific chemistry. The sex between Mystique and Magneto must have been mind blowing!. (LOL!).

  11. Darkladi says:

    I’d be on my back so fast that you’d think I’d been shot.

  12. javaj77 says:

    Why does he get so much love? He beats women. He’s a gross little short legged troll!

    • Felice. says:

      Wasn’t that proven a hoax?

      • Mia4S says:

        It was based on one ex-girlfriend’s one accusation 6 years ago (after he broke up with her) which was dropped and he was never even brought in for questioning. Literally nothing else before or since.

        But according to tumblr that means he beat 5356657 women and eats kittens. Welcome to the Internet!

      • M.A.F. says:

        It was also reported that the ex-girlfriend in the past has brought similar accusations against other boyfriends. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.

      • Kitten says:

        This is tiresome.

    • Addison says:

      Look at the facts before you post stupid things. One woman’s accusation does not equal WOMEN… She also accused another man of the same both times taking it back. If the state of California found no basis for prosecution you shouldn’t write such things. What if someone accused you of something and took it back but the world would continue to publish it as fact.

      • Abigail says:

        THIS, ^^^, 1000%. The repetition of this groundless accusation is getting really tiresome.

      • K. says:

        Not only this,the sad thing is that he’s really a nice person according to every person who works with him or meets him. I’ve never seen anyone hanging out with fans like he does. Among dozens of overhyped actors and celebrities without talent,who behave like assholes,he’s a rarity.

  13. Shijel says:

    Frankly all these “short-legged” comments skeeve me out. We really do love giving crap to people about the things they can’t change here, don’t we? I don’t know. Just… off-putting, shall I say?

    But I’m about to eat my words, because I have to ask: he’s relatively young. What the hell has he been doing in the past few years to age so rapidly? Does he drink? A chain-smoker?

    • FingerBinger says:

      He drinks and smokes. I agree we shouldn’t go after people for things they can’t change. He can ,however, do something about those yellow teeth.

  14. HTK says:

    He looks good. Like he did a detox or something. Hoarse is due to allergies. It’s the worst in New York right now. I’m on week two of being hoarse and sniffley and there’s no end in sight.

  15. Nurse Julie says:

    Michael Fassbender can bend me any way over (and over)… he’s so hot. Right up there with Eric Bana and Charlie Hunnam.

  16. Lola says:

    Rogaine? Could it be recommended?

  17. MtnRunner says:

    Is this the Marvel related thread where I can see who saw AoU last night? No spoilers, just curious what others thought. I loved the darker turn and it was crowded, but came away wanting more of The Vision and Scarlet Witch. Spader’s voice was doing things to me the whole time.

    Judging from the audible reactions from the uber fans, the scene during the closing credits was worth the price of admission.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      I saw it last night. Agree more Scarlet Witch and The Vision would have been welcome, especially more scenes between the Vision and Thor. Hemsworth really seems to enjoy working with tall British guys. Otherwise fun, loud and a typical MCU plot of a large object falling from the sky. I had some issues with the credit scene but discussing it will spoil it and the related scenes, with which I also had a continuity issue

      • MtnRunner says:

        Hmmm… I had to ask the dudes behind me who that was in the credit scene. I did read later about what Marvel is setting up with The Vision and his “ornament”, so I’ll be curious to discuss after we’ve tabled it long enough not to spoil it for everyone else.

        Reading Lainey’s review this morning, I have to agree that there should had been more character moments and less action. That was the most interesting parts of the film. So much to analyze and philosophize about with this one.

        And it must be said that I completely forgot all the bad press that “the offenders” got this past week. I was able to lose myself in the movie and enjoy them all — even RDJ and Renner.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        My octagenarian aunt loved every second of it

  18. Anguishedcorn says:

    Like a screen door in a hurricane.

  19. Wendy says:

    He was sitting alone in the quiet cafe on my corner eating lunch and reading the paper, and it took my a half hour to realize that it was him. The only way I can describe him is that he is a man, very masculine, not a pretty boy type. Worked for me!

  20. K. says:

    These pics are unflattering,and he looks tired and sleep-deprived.Plus that haircut is not ideal for him.. But in other pics taken yesterday,he’s fine as usual. For whom are interested 😊:

    “I wish I was a throat lozenge.”

    lmao

    Never change.

  22. Patty says:

    I’m kicking myself right now. Slow West played during my city’s recent film festival and I missed it.

  23. Seraphina says:

    Thank you for that delicious clip of Fassey in the long johns. I needed something sweet to go with my afternoon coffee. Now I need a cool glass of water too 😉

  24. pam says:

    He’s way past his fresh date. Nope, he’s just gross.

  25. Camille (The Original) says:

    Sigh. He’s just so, so sexy. His bone structure is TDF and his smile, arrggh I love that shark grin. Can’t wait to see him in some new movies.

  26. aaquarius74 says:

    I love him with his big Hex/Magneto hair. So much sexier than the short hair look. Ok he’s aging fast, but the same goes with Tom Hiddleston (just look at his Thor 1 days in 2011) and Tom doesn’t get all those nasty comments !

    • Lilacflowers says:

      Oh, yes, he does. But everyone doesn’t have to like the same things in a man or the same men. To each her own.

    • lisa says:

      Everyone ages,it’s a natural thing. However here he seems only visibly tired or just out of bed. Fassbender has the peculiarity that he can look you younger or older in over a week. I’ve seen four, five years old pics where he seems older than in all the pics of the DOFP premieres last year.

  27. Victoria Alexander says:

    I feel about Fassy the same way you do – and more. What’s with the hair loss? And what is he going to do about it? Its not the kind of hair loss that can be fixed by surgery.

    I keep waiting for Jolie to push for him to play Marc Anthony in her Cleopatra movie. He’s definitely in her obit but Brad is keeping them apart by putting him in all his movies! He’s got the sexual “bad boy” vibe that Angie always goes for, so why no match up? Imagine them together? She would lose her Saint Angelina identity but it could be the real “fifty shades” Basic Instinct role Jolie needs to stay a Hollywood sex symbol.
