Yeah, the rumors even started here a couple of weeks ago... They say they're about to break up for good and they've been fighting a lot lately, that they only stayed together for the sake of the kids. And their project to make a film together about Sartre and Beauvoir is dead so that was a hint... He has been with Vanessa Paradis since 1998, when they first met on the set of the Roman Polanski thriller 'The Ninth Gate'.
Apparently, Johnny is having a mid-life crisis and serious alcohol (and drugs) problems for a while and Vanessa can't keep up with his sh#t anymore and the cheating allegations (with his publicist Robin Baum, Angelina, Amber Heard...) so she threw him out of their house in France and they both contacted a lawyer to make it pretty soon official.

Hi ladies, huge fan of the Fassbender here, nice to see that others too recognize this lad's talent!
Re: talk show appearances, I've always been under the impression that these bookings were often coordinated or pushed forward by either the actor's personal publicist (to push the name forward in the star market) or by the movie's publicist in case of huge tentpoles. Seeing that he basically was unknown to the American market (was really surprised that Jane Eyre only appeared on basically 300 screens for the whole of its cinema run) when X-Men came out + simultaneous filming of Prometheus, and especially bc he doesn't seem to have a personal publicist, I'm not surprised he's not booked any appearance show yet, but it'll happen sooner or later, especially when Prometheus comes out this year. Currently, I think Fox Searchlight's agenda is more to present him to as many journalist/movie critic/blogger as possible, for awards and recognition purposes, and Momentum is probably doing the same in the UK.
Don't feel like it has anything to do with his status, as this guy seems as down-to-earth towards this process as they come.

Oh boy, he looks 10 years older
Maybe too much time sleeping with random strangers and doing press junkets... or just a huge hangover that day
My thoughts exactly. He's not well known here in the U.S (though, I suppose that won't last long). X-Men was his "biggest" film of last year and he did do The Today Show with the rest of the cast to promote it but it doesn't surprise me at all that he hasn't done any of the big late night talk shows. Not sure how likely his chances of getting on Letterman or Leno to promote an NC-17 film would've been, anyway. But I'm sure we'll be seeing him on a few talk shows this year, especially with his Golden Globe and possible Oscar nods. Right now I think his people are just concerned with getting him out there to journalists, critics and other industry people. And considering how adverse he is to becoming a "celebrity" I'm sure it's more important for him to get his work publicized than it is to get himself publicized.
He really needs some rest...
Michael looking like he got hit by a truck (and I say this with love)
I'm slightly amused by how many new people are coming out of the wood works all of a sudden

Well, I suppose I'm new as a "poster" but not new to the site and certainly not a new Fassbender fan. As with most message boards, the majority of people read but never post.
