Michael & Alicia Fassbender ~ A Loving Couple Thread

[moonmae]

I think the Alicia cyberbullying is getting out of hand, and I agree that dating Michael is a huge factor. I've watched her in a few films and I think she's a really good actress - there must be a reason she keeps getting hired! I didn't like her in The Seventh Son, but I didn't like anything about that movie...

That said, I do think her PR people need to come up with a new strategy and do damage control. For a relative newcomer and unknown (I know she's not really, but for the general public she is) to introduce herself to the wider public as THE NEXT BIG THING/ OSCARS comes across as pretty damn arrogant. Jumping the gun on the oscars is a bad, bad move. I don't think this is a male/female issue - if some young actor said that, I would think he's pretty bigheaded too. There's nothing wrong in thinking that, but not the smartest thing to say. Chastain was shopped around on magazines while her movies were released or after, and her movies were very well received (Cannes, Box office hits) so she was on solid ground. Plus she comes across as very grounded in interviews. Alicia's done great work in her movies, but they haven't won any festival coverage or smashed box office records, so she doesn't have anything solid to back her up.

Hope she recovers from this PR stumble. I think she's talented and charismatic, and looking forward to seeing more of her work.

We've seen U.N.C.L.E. too today and it was pretty entertaining.
For a German audience the biggest laughter in the whole cinema was at the beginning when they're sitting at the lakeside café and their superiors tell them to get acquainted and get up from the table and all the undercover spies around them get up too. Given that the beginning plays in East Germany everyone got the reference with the Stasi acting like that too.
Personally, I also always find the language thing interesting and it's great to see getting my theory proven right one more time that Brits have it easier speaking German. Cavill's German was better than Hammer's. Tbh, I expected a bit more of Alicia's German given she's Swedish and they have similar sounds but it was all very entertaining.
If that movie has success I hope they make a sequel. It's at least set up for it.

Alicia in London at the wedding for one of Fassbender's friends.

I didn't know she was friends with Rebecca Ferguson, but it seems Alicia knows everybody!

If I were Swedish, and someone asked me, “Do you know this other Swedish person?” I’d probably get tired of it. Except that you really did seem to grow up with every other famous Swede! What’s the explanation for that?
It’s because it’s so dark and cold for so many months of the year, so people just stay in and get creative! But yeah, I grew up with five or six girlfriends in Sweden who were my best friends, and Tove Lo is one of those girls in our group. I even shared a flat a few years back with my friends from Icona Pop, and they’re coming to the premiere tonight! And the other day, I saw a friend of mine, Rebecca Ferguson — another fellow Swede — in Mission: Impossible, and she was just kicking ***. She was extraordinary in that part.

Lol isn't she in some groups of friends with Joel Kinnaman and the Skarsgard brothers too? I wouldn't mind being in that Swedish clique...

Tbh, I have no idea who Rebecca Ferguson is but I surely know all the others. I think it's because Sweden has a rather small creative community that mainly happens in Stockholm. So at some point they all get to know each other. Hence the Skarsgård and Co. connection. Though she was in a film with Bill Skarsgård.

 

[jcsepjj]

Yeah, it's a small community. Here's some pictures of Alicia with Joel Kinnaman and Gustaf Skarsgard when they were practically babies, around 2007 is my guess. Gustaf and Joel have been best friends since high school.
Alicia got to know Tove (Tove Lo) when she was in her later teens, same goes for Icona pop and Rebecca Ferguson ( she's the star of the new Mission Impossible movie) Rebecca was in a swedish movie with Gustaf and Anna Åström (one of Alicias closest friends).

I'm not sure exactly how Alicia and Alex got to know one and other but probably through partying together. They've been to conserts together both in Stockholm and in London and go to alot of festivals together.

Thanks for the pics! It's really a small community!

Thanks for those! It's actually unfair how she's got the hottest boyfriend, hottest friends, and hottest costars...

I agree with you about the cyberbullying, there are so many false rumors and wild conspiracy theories about Alicia that I get almost exhausted but I think there is nothing to do.
You have a point concerning the PR, IMO it started with a few sentences that became interpreted bad and since then it's like a snowball.

UGH. Just stop. Gossip and/or conspiracy theory is NOT cyberbullying, and saying so only minimizes real cyberbullying. Saying on a gossip forum that some little actress - who by her own words is "ready to be more known" - is bland or ugly or even that she's a Harvey Girl or has an ugly kid's body or is in a fake relationship is not on the level of people who are genuinely cyberbullied! No one is accusing her of anything illegal or even defamatory - embarrassing, maybe. But being embarrassed is not the equivalent of being cyberbullied. Cyberbullying IS NOT saying anything bad about anyone online ever, especially not a public figure.

This chick's stans are the absolute worst, I swear.

Has the filming date for the Bourne film been announced yet?

Hmm, insinuating that somebody gets roles in return for sexual favours is not defamatory....right. But hey hateful chicks just carry on the sterling work. Endless spiteful tirades say so much about the writers concerned. Do your worst, it makes no difference to anybody, changes nothing. Why bother dealing in reality when the truth is not what you want to deal with? Shame they don't take your own advice - UGH. Just stop.

I was always hesitant about posting those first four pics because they're from Alicia's private Facebook account. They're not really meant for the public.

I've seen Vi but to be honest Rebecca Ferguson wasn't the one catching my eye. And I surely won't go see a Tom Cruise movie.

As I said, Alicia and Alex probably got to know each other through her connection with Bill with whom she made a film, and they all lived in the same neighbourhood.
