I have read some interviews with Michael and he doesn't seem to bring it up at all, bearing in mind that it was his last major role before breaking onto the silver screen with his flowing hair and CGI abs in 300. Could he be ashamed of his smooth-talking demon past?
Anyway, this was all just an excuse to pose this question, that will probably only be of interest to any Irish readers. Do ye remember the man who swan from Clare (guessing) to New York to apologise to some dude in a pub - presumed to be a brother by the similar hairstyles they were sporting - in the Guinness ad about five years ago? And it had that song that everyone was humming afterwards? This is our heyday, baby - remember that??
Well that was none other than Michael fecking Fassbender!
The mind reels. It's like finding out all over again that peanuts grow underground.
Anywho, let's pay homage to the man himself who has more than a few interesting strings in his bow with a little tribute to some of his lesser known roles.
the smooth talking demon Azazeal of Hex
Barney in 2007's Wedding Belles. Let's not revisit that haircut, Michael
In the awful movie Angel, he still manages to be quite sexy despite taking on the undesirable role of a crying, gambling one-legged alcoholic.
The Guinness ad
... which brought me to this: Fassy's first acting job at the tender age of 21.
Licking his lips when he's hungry - he definitely went to acting school for that.
Cheers for reading,
