Michael Fassbender was at last night’s GQ Men of the Year event – you can see some of the photos here, at Lainey. He wasn’t wearing a tie, and he looked GOOD. He looked like he’d had a few before he came to the event, and then once at the event, he was the life of the party. Who doesn’t want to spend time partying with the Fassdong? So, anyway, I’m including Fassie’s GQ cover, an additional image from GQ, plus some grab-bag photos of Fassie from the last month or so as he’s been promoting Shame and A Dangerous Method. FASSIE 4 EVA. By the way, I don’t know if many of you watched this, but it’s totally worth it – I LOVE this video. I want this video to have its way with me.

JESUS CHRIST. His accent. His smile. The way that he looks in that charcoal henley. Why isn’t he my husband?

Anyway, yesterday, we ended up getting into a discussion about Fassie’s height, because the GQ interviewer claimed he was “short”. I don’t know how tall he is, really – my guess is a tad shorter than 6 feet. But the hell does height mean, really? Women think height has something to do with dong size, and obviously, The Fassdong would rock your world. Everybody who sees Shame talks about how well-endowed Fassie is. And Fassie is the kind of dude who KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I cannot stress that enough.

There is this new interview with Fassie at HuffPo – they ask him a lot of questions about his full-frontal work in Shame. PRAISE IT, y’all. Here are some highlights:

Risky career moves and full-frontal: “What are the risks? If we look at it — how can it be risky for me? Then you start to go into sort of an area about worrying about your image, or whatever that is. I mean, I’m not like a politician; I’m a storyteller and I’m supposed to facilitate stories, they’re not supposed to facilitate me. So that’s what it’s all about.”

Fassie spent time with real-life sex addicts, using one man’s story in particular to inform his preparation and performance: “I got a real sort of insight into this difficulty that Brandon has with intimacy. It was exactly the same condition that this guy had, and you just realize, very quickly, how real this condition is and how it can tear lives apart. And it definitely made it clear to me that this is a real addiction, even though it hasn’t been recognized officially as one. And then, okay, you’ve got to respect this guy and you’ve got to do a good job, just alone for him.”

His Shame character’s diet: Breakfast is limited to “a can of Red Bull and probably, like, a croissant, at most,” he said, given that his miserable character “doesn’t get sensual pleasure from eating.”

Fassie doesn’t understand why we can’t talk about sex addiction: “Most of us have sex, so I don’t understand what we’re trying to sweep under the carpet or repress or not take a look at it,” he says.

Shame‘s NC-17 rating worries him: “[It’s] a serious film that deserves to be treated as such…Half of us have a penis and the other half have probably seen one, and so why should it be more normal to, like, chop people’s heads off and shoot people? Does that mean that that’s more acceptable or closer to us as human beings?”

I can’t even describe how much I love this Shame promotional tour. Not only is Fassie proving to be intelligent and insightful, but he just sights around talking about dongs and sex all day. Did anyone else get a little tingle in their pants when Fassie said “eating” and “sensual”. Hot damn. Try to work the rest of the day with that imagery. Fassie. Eating. Sensual. GAH.
