From a Cotillard's interview with Indiewire:http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplayl...es-the-immigrant-macbeth-more-20141201?page=2
"I love the idea of you and Michael Fassbender working opposite each other in such a classic story. What was that like?
Michael is one of the most creative actors I've ever worked with. Every day, you never know what is going to happen, or what idea he's going to find. I've worked with people who wanted to be creative every day: it was like a goal to arrive with something very special. Sometimes it's just disturbing, because special is good when it's needed. But when it's not needed it's confusing, and you go away from the authenticity by a strong desire to be unique and singular. Michael Fassbender is just a creative force, he finds authenticity in singularity with what he brings, and it's always authentic. He doesn't try to be creative and different for the sake of it. He is carried by his work, everything he does is very special because it serves the story and his character, and he's not taking the character to serve himself with creative wannabe processes. "


I can't wait to see it! I'm glad she received the best actress award from the NYFCC Yesterday (The Immigrant,TDON). Maybe she'll have some chance for a nomination..

Michael has already said great things about her so as she. This film will be HUGE! But let's be honest, they were elected the most beautiful faces of 2013 and both are considered one of the most talented actors nowadays. There's NO WAY Macbeth will be bad!

Thanks for the news! :cool:

Yes, they definitely are a couple. His face in the last picture, staring straight at the pap, is funny. But soon she has to rush off to film The Danish Girl, with Eddie Redmayne, and he is apparently going off to film Jobs.

Yeah, let them enjoy it while it lasts :p On Sunday they'll probably attend BFI too because they're nominated but probably separated. Anyway, Michael won't be in a serious relationship while doing so many movies so we have to wait until he appears with his future wife and their ginger kids lol
 
#1,597
Well,there's something going on:graucho:.. looking at the pics,one could say that they are just friends,but I'm sure they know there are paps there,so..
Now we must waiting for some Hackney sightings..:p

They have spent three months together basically isolated,I can see why they are getting close.. but I don't think it will last. They have busy careers and he needs to slow down to build a proper relationship.

It all seems a bit contrived to me, but that is clearly what they want people to think so I'll play along. These things can be entertaining at times and it also means that the man who literally disappears for months may be making more pap appearances which is not a bad thing.

If he is going to have his picture taken more frequently, can he get a permanent stylist, as well? :cool:

Your correct about the pics. Doesn't appear to be anything. I personally do not see any chemistry.
I also noticed that in the beach pics ( before possible pap knowledge) she doesn't smile or appears engaged.
In the restaurant pics, even if you think the paps are watching wouldn't you stay off your phone and engage in conversation? Other than that she seems to nice.
I would prefer anyone other than MG!
My main concern for Michael is his reputation in the industry. I don't want him to be known as the " male Julia Roberts" If this is indeed a relationship developing, this would be his third known costar relationship. That can't possibly look good. Even though we are fans, an would love to be in his presence; how many actresses may avoid working with him due to a known reputation?

I think it seems a bit contrived because they are aware that there are paps.. Actually if you look at the pics they could easily be only friends (it's possible too) and I'm sure he doeasn't want to create excessive speculation. In fact every article speaks about two costars that are spending some free time together while filming. I've seen the same thing with Zoe Kravitz when they were papped at the Toronto Film Festival or at the X-men and Jane Eyre premieres,because he knew that there were photographers and he acted consequently. On the other hand,in other circumstances he had no problem holding hands with her,for example.He was even more spontaneous in his pre-fame period when he was dating Leasi Andrews or Maiko Spencer.
If I remember well,when he was seen for the first time with Nicole Beharie (and he was aware of being photographed),they have been together for some time,so probably he was more sure about their relationship.


He must cut his hair.. that's the only thing I want to see:p I've always liked his casual style (with the exception of his horrible camo shorts:D) and I think he looks better simply wearing jeans and t-shirts.

I disagree. Zoe,Nicole were all adult persons involved in a consesual relationship.. it's not him taking advantage of someone he's working with.. If he showed interest in them,they showed interest in him,evidently.. Not because I'm a fan,but it's possible to tell how he's respectful of people working with him even from the way he speaks about his acting process. These are two interviews about Shame and Fish Tank which are very indicative: http://www.vulture.com/2011/11/michael-fassbender-on-simulating-sex-in-a-dangerous-method.html

I've also read the account of one of the two women who filmed the famous threesome scene in Shame. Even if I had no doubt,it was great to see how professional Michael and Steve were on set. Those scenes could have been very difficult and Michael,Steve made every effort to make them feel comfortable. I've seen nothing but praise from his female costars,so honestly I don't see the problem.

We know he's not taking advantage of anyone. He started a romance with Zoe during filming XMen and Nicole was during the promotion of Shame. I agree that he gets praise from co stars who work with him.
I'm just saying it can be perceived as such within the industry. Also, when the past relationships were reported in the media, it was frequently stated as " met on the set" or "previous costar". This is just my opinion of course.

Although I think Michael and Alicia are dating, these pics don't proove anything, it's true. They're not holding hands, smilling at each other or anything that suggests that. For now, they're just good friends. Besides, we all know this won't last anyway lol

When it comes to dating co-stars, I don't think this is bad for film. It happens, it's normal. Michael is extremely talented and he always gives amazing performances so people won't look at him in a negative way because he's dated a few co-stars. He's talented, hot, charming and nice to hang out with, even if I was his co-star I'd date him ;)

Of course we know he's not taking advantage of anyone..:smile1: I was just emphasizing the concept to point out that it takes two persons to be in a relationship. It's not like "OMG I will work with Michael Fassbender,I will end up in a relationship with him!" .The premise is a mutual interest and,honestly,I don't see any problem if people are professional about their craft. I think that is the only thing which matters to the industry. Starting a relationship while filming is not unusual for actors. They spend much time together, it could happen. The only thing that could be possibly problematic is the promotion, IF there's something going on and their relationship becomes public. That could be a bit awkward,but now it's just speculation.

Agreed, I don't believe he would get a bad reputation from dating co-stars, some women may be even more inclined to work with him (like a certain Prometheus actress who made her intentions public, in jest, but, it did make you think).

As for his wardrobe, I can deal with the camo shorts that he wears Everywhere, if I can set a match to the hideous neon yellow shorts he has. 😄

The man needs serious help.😀

BIFA's this week, thanks for the reminder. If he goes, we may have things to talk about, lol!
