Really? When did he say that? Funny considering he could handle Macbeth as well as the Steve Jobs script so well. Both pieces I would assume to take quite a good grasp on the English language. Are you sure it was him making the mistakes?

You don't see the difference between choosing your own words and memorizing a script?

I'm going to drop this subject. It's clear people are a little offended that I brought up a pretty minor personality flaw and I just don't want to engage with it any more.

I'm not in the least offended! As my reply to you outlined there are variations in common applications and word usage, also in pronunciation...so questioned whether Michael had actually eff..ed up?

Blood in the water? Is commenting on a verbal flub really that critical or over the top? Cate Blanchett also misused a word during her Oscar acceptance speech ("exacerbates") on a way more public stage and I noticed and commented on it on other sites. Sometimes I flub myself and I generally like to be called out on it.

If his English vocabulary issue is genuine and needs to be addressed , maybe you can consider writing to his company DMC, suggesting him to take up online English course. Since he brings his laptop with him all the times, no problem for him to follow the course.
*****the above is just my suggestion******

Michael Fassbender Shuts Down Questions About Alicia Vikander Romance

Alicia Vikander Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender refused to answer questions regarding his romance with Alicia Vikander in a new interview.

The couple has been dating for two years, and very rarely talk about their relationship, which reportedly began while filming their new movie, The Light Between Oceans.

And when quizzed about their love life in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Fassbender was quick to shut down the questioning.

"I'm not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don't," he retorted.

Vikander, however, sweetly deflected the question with a more diplomatic response than her 39-year-old Irishman beau.

"I think we've made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us," she said. "It was very easy to unite, but that's quite personal."

The pair stars in the upcoming drama, adapted from the M.L. Stedman novel and directed by Derek Cianfrance, which follows the story of a lighthouse keeper and his wife who raise a baby they rescue from an adrift rowboat.

And Michael was keen to dispel reports they had fallen in love while filming the movie back in 2014.

"It wasn't the first time in a movie either of us had played somebody who is falling in love. There is an element of separation there. If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people," he said sarcastically.

The Light Between Oceans is released in the U.S. on 2 September (16).

Not an interview but an article about an interview. Of course they have spun it a certain way to fit their narrative but makes me wonder why Michael is only willing to get lovey dovey about his relationship with non-english publications. He seems very private and annoyed when questioned about his relationship in English.

LOL this is funny. Using the relationship to promote the movie, then refuse to answer questions about private life
I get that people who work together promote their movies but seeing as tho everyone thinks they're dating, its obvious the relationship is being used to promote this film. His name was trending on my Yahoo feed and when I clicked on it, u think it was about him? Nope. her name was there too. But of course some would say "well she's his gf, they're in love and promoting their movie". U know the funny thing, they still haven't come out and said they're dating and they're in love. Sometimes its what's not being said that's saying the most

Yep cos it's written somewhere that in order to validate our relationships for people we dont know, we must stand up in public and say " we are dating and we are in love". Otherwise it's just not real, right?

Doesn't everyone do this....? Do all those in the public eye need to make public statements to that effect? Is it commonplace for people in other professions to be questioned about their love life when being interviewed about their work...? For example, when doctors are being interviewed about medical matters I don't recall reading or watching questions about how or when they fell in love with their partner!! Yet somehow some people consider actors HAVE to tell all to validate their relationship to the satisfaction of the general public!! Bizarre!

And some people can't seem to grasp there is a big difference between being a couple and not hiding it and actually discussing their relationship and their intimacies!

I like this part about him and Cianfrance:
FASSBENDER: I saw a few edits that Derek had done and I made suggestions. [I gave him] my notes, for whatever good they will do, and he did make some changes. When I did give him those notes, I was very grateful for that. Derek was always like, come to the edit [room] whenever you want, he’s very collaborative like that and he takes everyone’s notes to heart and really digests them. He is a very strong, independent filmmaker, but sort of in his own mind. But also, because he sort of felt comfortable in confident in himself I guess, in lacking ego, he’s also very open to people’s notes and ideas. So I wasn’t in the edit [room] per se with him, but like I said, he would do cut, I would watch it, and I would give him notes on that.

Thanks!
A fan of Fassbender's for films like "Hunger" and "Fish Tank," Vikander says she considered him "one of the best actors of his generation."

"It's something when you get to work with an actor who immediately vindicates your faith," says Vikander. "He pushed me and I dared to do the same back. It was easy from the get-go. He kind of came in with open-arms and was willing to really serve this story justice."

"I make movies about family. I make movies about relationships. This one just has an epic backdrop," says the Brooklyn writer-director. "In some ways when I was shooting it, I was thinking of trying to make a Cassavetes film on a David Lean landscape."

Cianfrance eschews saying "action" or "cut" and instead has the actors improvise their way into and out of a scene. He would rouse the cast and crew for first light, or bring them back for the evening sun. They slept in trailers near the lighthouse. For Vikander's first day of shooting, before she arrived on set, he had her picked up at 2 a.m. and driven to the lighthouse. She was asked to cover her eyes until she was to exit a woodshed for her first take.

"I just looked out and saw this huge lighthouse, which is pretty extraordinary," Vikander recalls. "And the film crew was up on the top, so I started to climb up to the top. And they had timed it so the second I came up there, the sun just popped up over the horizon. It was probably the most extraordinary sunrise I had ever seen. It's not me acting, really, in the film when I see it."


The elements, Fassbender says, also made a powerful impression on him, particularly the relentless wind. And the removal from cellphones and other day-to-day pressures turned out to be welcome in focusing on the film's tender and tragic story.

I have actually noticed this about Fassbender from his previous interviews as well. Often times he used the wrong word and just keeps going. LOL its quite funny when I can point it out.

Yes I was thinking about him talking to Italian mag about love at first sight and then completely shut down a reporter in English. That was weird to me.
I understand if Michael does not want to open admit the titles in his relationship. It just gets messy when they break up IMO. If you keep it hush hush from the beginning, the break ups are easier in the media. Though these two dont keep it hush hush for a selective few outlets.

LOL it is not that serious. Dont you ever use a wrong word in your native language from time to time? Happens to me sometimes. I prefer to be corrected rather than the mistake being ignored.
