Michael Fassbender rocks full-on ginger beard in Monaco: hot & gorgeous?

There are a surprising amount of stories to cover this three-day holiday weekend, and we’ll be getting to them today and tomorrow, of course. But before I begin with the real celebrity gossip, I just had to cover these photos of my boyfriend in the South of France. You Fassbender-stalking loonies didn’t tell me that Fassy came to Monaco!!! But he’s there (or he was there), and these photos are Fassy’s beard-y appearance at the Hugo Boss party. Fassy’s X-Men: First Class buddies, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult were there, and now I’m in love with all of them because these photos are just so cute.

Before I really GO HARD on Fassy, I would like to say that I’m enjoying that Jennifer and Nicholas do seem like a “real couple”. They’re making their long-distance relationship work, they travel to see each other, and I buy that Nicholas is really cool with how Jennifer’s career has exploded since they first got together on the set of X-Men: First Class. And they’re seriously adorable together. I want to think Fassy cosigns this young couple too.

As for Fassy… the beautiful red beard. He’s ginger and beautiful ALL OVER, and he’s proud of it. And the hilarious posing. The shark grin. The suit (which barely contains his thunder). He looks like he’s gained some weight too, and it suits him. He also looks like he’s getting his drink on – which is fine. I wonder if Nicole Beharie managed to make it to Monaco? I couldn’t find any photos of her. Do you think Michael is chatting up the dark, lovely ladies in Monaco?

Update by CB: photos removed at photo agency’s request and replaced by photos of Fassbender at The Formula One Grand Prix on May 27.

    Dear. Lord.

    I am a fan of beards anyways, but had I not been, this would turn me on to the cause. He looks super yum with a beard!

    • Turtle Dove says:

      I’ve been really into the man-hair lately too. (I think it’s a primal response to all that smooth, metro-sexual icky look that was around for years.)

    • EBitch says:

      I personally am not down with beards, my husband can’t grow a proper one, thank goodness. The pose in that first pic is hysterical, he is quite a character!

    • darkladi says:

      LOVE the beard. Delicious!

  2. Lindy says:

    Ewwww! No thanks! I have never really understood the Fassy-frenzy–not my cup of tea, but to each her own, right? These pics, however, are the nail in the coffin for me. His legs look like chicken toothpicks, and the face scruff makes him look dirty.

    • ZenB!tch says:

      Lindy – I’ve seen much worse somewhere on this blog but these are pretty bad…

      1. The teeth – every time I see him I want to run to the store for Crest White Strips

      2. I hate when head hair and beard hair don’t match.

      3. I hate that suit. I called out Thor on a similar one a few weeks back.

      4. He just looks so dirty to me and not just in an “I think he smells way” but in an “I think he’s Christian Grey” way and I cannot stand that stupid book.

    • OlsenTriplet says:

      Do chickens have teeth to pick?

  3. Stellax2 says:

    They all look like they are having a good time. JL looks great!
    Kaiser, I despise you for fostering my Fassy love 😉
    I’m not crazy about his suit though. When I look at that face and body, all common sense goes out the window.

  4. Turtle Dove says:

    Your (our) boyfriend looks fantastic. THIS is the BEST suit I’ve seen him in. The cut is good, the heather gray is nice, as are the shoes.

    I’m so glad that you added the other Fassy and Jennifer pictures because the top makes her look ginormous and him wee. Camera angles can be deceiving.

  5. Dana says:

    Nicholas is my #1 age inappropriate crush.

  6. marie says:

    I would never toss him out of bed but, on looks he’s not someone I’d automatically go for, although from what I can tell, he has a silly personality which is a plus. However what’s going on with his pants? In a few of the pictures he looks like he wet himself.. Maybe it’s just the way he’s standing?

    • Esmom says:

      I thought I saw wet stains on his pants, too! They’re just shadows. The jacket is doing it, too. Unfortunate because it does look like he had an accident.

      He doesn’t look like he’s gained weight to me, he’s pulling off a slim cut suit with no extra lumps to be seen.

  7. Aiobhan says:

    Nice way to start a Sunday morning. He looks adorable and the cheesy poses are awesome. I looove a beard on a man and it just makes him look even more manly. Jennifer and Nicholas are cute as well.

    • Carolyn says:

      Couldn’t have said it better. I like people who look like they’e having fun, not just hard-posing at photo opps.

  8. Mirella says:

    I want to party with them!

  9. Jules says:

    Fassy gives off a nice ginger heat. I’m into it.

  10. VanillaFrosting says:

    Looks exactly like my fiancé’s beautiful beard! 🙂

  11. lucy says:

    so here I am watching the bbc f1 forum and who’s popped up… Mr Fassbender looking mighty fine

    • LucyOriginal says:

      Hi Lucy! So you like Formula one, George Clooney and Fassbender? I guess we don’t have only our nicknames in common. 🙂

  12. lil ole me says:

    Those sneaky gingers always trying to infiltrate society, and pretending to be normal humans. UNTIL, their facial hair, arm hair, pubes give them away. BUSTED!
    Kill it- kill it with fire! Daywalker alert

  13. Kristen says:

    1. Yes
    2. omgMichaelFassbenderLooksAmazingInAllOfThesePhotos
    3. Jennifer Lawrence looks SUPER pretty here
    4. I do not at all get the appeal of Nicholas Hoult.
    5. Is that the guy from Game of Thrones? Was he in “Hunger” with MF?

    • Pauly says:

      Yes, that’s Liam Cunningham. He played the priest in Hunger. They were also in Centurian & in the short film Pitch Black Heist together…which one the BAFTA for best short film.

  14. H says:

    Michael and Jennifer look super adorable together. Nicolas is kind of looking creepy and ruining the whole thing. I know Jen isn’t Fassy’s type and he used to date her best friend (Zoe) but in alternate reality they’d be a really cute couple.

  15. Jaschintaz says:

    They were all there to watch the Formula 1 race as well 😉 Will Smith and Vanessa Hudgens were there, Ron Howard was there. Fassie is a self-proclaimed huge fan of Michael Schumacher and Fassie admitted to BBC Top Gear that he was “stalking” Michael!

  16. bgirl says:

    Jennifer is the story here – she looks amazing!

  17. David says:

    He is very short

  18. Lauren says:

    Jennifer Lawrence looks kinda like Emily Blunt in that 5th pic

  19. mia girl says:

    Looks like a fun time and that Fassbender was no doubt the Grand Marshall of the party parade.
    Jennifer Lawrence looks great.

  20. anom says:

    michael fassbender = YUCK!! this guy is under 35 yrs old???? NO EFFING WAY. dude looks 45 on a good day.

  21. Anna says:

    Jennifer looks amazing.

    Fassbender: EW!

  22. vic says:

    Yes he’s hot and gorgeous and his teefs look whiter. And he looks like fun! Everyone looks great and how often can you say that? Maybe it’s the fun.

  23. Reece says:

    I love these photos! Jennifer looks HOT!!!

  24. Stacie says:

    Fassy looks so Hot and Sexy Thanks for the photos !!! Love him .

  25. gloaming says:

    More fassy in Monaco. Unfortunately I can’t find the BBC’s interviews in the Red Bull Barge today, so you’ll have to make do with Sky Sports interview from yesterday before qualifying.

    http://youtu.be/7utq_3QNKAk

    It’s really nice to see famous people there who actually follow the sport and are fans of it instead of just posing around.

    I’ve been to the Monaco GP, but up on the hill with the other peasants and the atmosphere is fantastic.

    • LucyOriginal says:

      Thanks for the video and for sharing with us that you have been to Monaco!!! I totally agree with Ian Cunningham, this is something to be in someone’s bucket list. It certainly is in mine! Fassy has been to Silverstone too?! awesome!

      My only issue with Fassy is that he is a Schumacher’s fan, argh! But at least they mentioned Kimi, the iceman!!! 🙂

      ps: Kaiser, how many times do I have to ask you to cover (at least once) t he formula one race drivers?! I bet if fassy asked you, you would not hesitate, would you?! 🙂

  26. LucyOriginal says:

    @Kaiser: Does it mean I am not a Fassbender-stalking loonie?

    I di dwrite on the previous Fassbender post and I also e-mail you writers, 🙂
    Just saying…

    Glad you covered him there. He was more casual on Saturday during the day. It was probably during the tests they have to find out who’s going to be the pole position. As a Formula One fan, He chose the best circuit to go (Which it’s my dream to go too). The race happens on the streets of Monaco, super exciting! 🙂

  27. A says:

    It’s interesting. Whenever I see photos of Jennifer Lawerence, I remember how subjective beauty can be and how it’s in the eye of the beholder. I think she has great hair, a great body, and that she is “hot.” I don’t find her beautiful or pretty though, just average in the face department. When she’s on a magazine and they airbrush so you can see her cheekbones, I kind of get it. In real life though, with no cheekbones…no. Vulture or Atlantic once described her as swollen face. That’s basically what I see. Fassbender, on the other hand. Holy Shit. That is a beautiful, sexy ginger beast.

  28. Nikki Girl says:

    GOOD GOD. He is SMOKING. I’ve got a thing for gingers too, and I’m Mexican-American…love the Irish and English-looking boys for some reason. And J. Lawrence looks gorgeous! I love her and Nick Hoult together, so cute!

    P.S. Why are they all doing that weird duck walk thing in the bottom pictures?

  29. aud says:

    jennifer looks fantastic

  30. bettyrose says:

    This guy has all the right ingredients, but for some reason he doesn’t rock my world. I mean, I’m sure he would in person, but on screen/in photos, he just doesn’t melt me like Ewan and some others do. Even so, he’s right about one thing: GINGERS RULE!

  31. buell says:

    It’s funny how he is trying to hide his cigarette. No wonder his teeth look so yellow… nicotine stains.

  32. jojo says:

    Is it just me or is he morphing into a bushy Ewan McGregor?

    • Nakli says:

      NO!!! Ewan is gorgeous, and sexy to boot even with the Obi-Wan Kenobi beard. Fassbender does not come close, but he’s definitely an interesting actor. I like these pictures, however. They seem like a happy bunch.

  33. NM6804 says:

    It’s enough I have the pleasure to see him act, I don’t need to see him all over the gossip boards detailing his every move. I love that he seems so genuine, real and entertaining but the swooning over his looks is over. I like him mysterious, an enigma. Overload of Fassbender-articles here…

    • gloaming says:

      Well, at least Kaiser’s over her Gerard Butler obsession.

      Those were dark days…..

  34. Rachael says:

    Oh my GOD I am so in love with every single person in these pics. Even maybe the random old guys who I don’t know.

  35. April says:

    Is he doing an “Angelina” in the first pic?

  36. k says:

    Isn’t January Jone baby ginger. Hummm

  37. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I love Fassy and how fun he has with his shark grin and his posing. Swoon. I watched Haywire for the two minutes he was in the terrible terrible boring ass movie.

  38. Amy says:

    Did Jennifer Lawrence get a forehead augmentation? I don’t remember it being so…prominent. I love her, but I don’t think she looks so great here.

  39. dizzy says:

    LOL @ the first picture. I like him. I think he’s talented and good looking, but I’m not feeling the beard. Oh, and Jen looks really pretty.

  40. LucyOriginal says:

    you know what I noticed in these pics? the height difference.
    This is what is said online: Nicholas is 6’4”; Jennifer is 5’8 1/2”; Michael is 6′.

    Have anyone noticed she is on heels?interesting…

  41. some bitch says:

    Oh yummy.
