Last year, Michael Fassbender’s crazy awards season began at the Venice Film Festival. I remember it like it was yesterday! My Fasslunacy had reached new heights, and I was about to enjoy a five-month run of constant Fassbender red carpets and photo ops and it was MAGIC. Fassbender appeared at the Venice Film Festival to promote A Dangerous Method and Shame – both were well-received, and Fassy ended up winning “The Volpi Cup” for Best Actor (for Shame). So is it any wonder that Venice invited him back to hand out a special award? These are new pics of Fassy handing out an award to the winner of “Your Film Festival” which is some kind of mesh of YouTube and the Venice Film Festival or something:
Spanish filmmaker David Victori has won the inaugural edition of YouTube’s Your Film Festival for his short movie “The Guilt.” The winner was announced Sunday on the sidelines of the Venice Film Festival after selection by a jury that included director Ridley Scott and actor Michael Fassbender.
Victori, whose movie focuses on a man obsessed with revenge after his wife’s murder, will receive $500,000 for his next project, with Scott and Fassbender acting as executive producers — giving the filmmaker key insider guidance.
Fassbender, who triumphed at the Venice Film Festival in 2011, taking home a Golden Lion for his role in “Shame,” described Victori’s film as “very mature and confident.”
“I was engaged from the top of the film,” Fassbender said at the award ceremony after a screening of the 10 finalist films.
Victori said he has already presented his planned project to Scott and Fassbender.
“We have a lot of work to do and, I don’t know — if I can start tomorrow it’s better for me,” he said.
YouTube viewers chose the 10 finalists, who travelled to Venice for the final selection, after viewing the films on YouTube’s channel www.YouTube.com/yourfilmfestival. The narrative-driven submissions could be no longer than 15 minutes in length. YouTube has held film contests in the past, but the global Your Film Festival is on a much larger scale.
That’s really cool. I think. I’m not sure what to think about Fassy trying to become a producer – it seems like every dude with any kind of profile fancies himself a “producer” now. I kind of think Fassy should just focus on being a working, in-demand actor for a little while and then begin producing, but whatever.
Also – Fassy brought his girlfriend to Venice. You can see some photos of Fassy with Nicole Beharie here. They seem very, very tight these days, don’t they? I feel like Nicole has pretty much moved to London to be with him. And I can’t hate on that – because that’s exactly what I would do for the Fassdong too. The Fassdong hypnotizes you. You have to follow it.

He looks cute. A good start of Tuesday, thanks for this post kaiser!
I think Nicole lived in London before. Weren’t she on a scholarship/fellowship to study Shakespeare while attending Julliard?
Sorry, but he’s a movie star now, & yes I think he’s hot….but again….he’s a movie star now & he really should consider getting his teeth whitened a bit. Not like Britney Spears (too white), but he needs to lift his teeth up a couple shades from his smoking.
This is not a good look for him….yellowed teeth. He has pretty teeth, & these pics just really show his need for it. I never really noticed it until now.
That’s exactly what I thought! I’m not famous and my teeth are at least 2 shades (naturally) whiter than that. Granted I don’t drink coffee or smoke but damn. It’s kinda gross in those close up. I never noticed before. He has far more resources than me. He really should do something about that mess.
This is brought up every time when there are pictures of him. In my opinion it just shows how twisted our minds are. 99 % of people probably don’t have white teeth. It’s just a western obsession.
They don’t have to be obscenely white, that’s not what I meant. But that shade of yellow on anyone, famous or not is NOT attractive to me personally. Packing or not.
I agree. Why would he whiten his teeth? They are healthy and beautiful.
I don’t have a particularly white teeth, but my life-long dentist claims that I have naturally stronger teeth, and that the yellowish pigment comes with that genetic-teeth-make-up-basically it’s a characteristic of good defense mechanism of my teeth. In my 26 years I’ve had two cases of caries, one on my milk-tooth. 😉 I’d never whiten them.
There are millions shades of teeth in the world, and I’m all for diverse beauty. What’s wrong with yellow, healthy teeth?
His teeth ruin his appearance, which is a shame because he is gorgeous.
His yellow teeth turn me off. I think he can afford some dental work or he should stop to smile like Johnny Depp.
His teeth aren’t THAT yellow. They’re definitely not “movie star white” that we’ve all gotten used to. Besides how many normal people do you know that have pefectly white teeth?
Crest White Strips?
Pretty much all of my friends have whiter teeth than him.
Nice. He always has this cheecky smile…. pretty.
Seriously-talent, intelligence, wit, insane hotness and a big d*ck but let’s focus on his teeth. *eye roll*
He looks sexy as hell. Ladies who are worried about his teeth can leave him for me because his teeth are the last thing I care about.
PS-I hope he pulls a V. Paradis and NEVER changes his teeth just to spite everyone. To me, nothing is sexier than being comfortable with how you look, regardless of what others think 😉
I agree with everything you said.
He has healthy, beautiful teeth. Why should he change that? We demand diversity in women bodies and women beauty perception, but you can’t be handsome if you don’t have a particular shade of teeth?
Because Americans can’t handle movie stars that have unconventional teeth (see Vanessa Paradis) even if said movie stars aren’t American and shouldn’t be subject to our bizarre blindingly white teeth obsession.
+1 for diversity, guys. He’s an actor, not a model and apparently his non-white teeth aren’t preventing him from getting any roles so I don’t see any reason why he should change them.
Personally, the fact that he refuses to whiten his teeth and clearly doesn’t GAF makes him sexy as hell to me. Guys that use white strips? Um, not for me. Then again, I’ve never been big into the metrosexual types…
Can we talk about how SEXY it is to see a man with laugh lines and not Botoxed? Never change Fassy, never change.
Have to vote OMG no this time Kaiser though you turned me into a Fassluny. Something is off with his looks. The bad hair style? LOL. Of course his girlfriend moved to be with him in London. Who wouldn’t follow that Fassdong all over the world. Would you let some other girl get to the Fassdong while you stuck in New York? Oh hell nay she ain’t stupid. She will glue herself to his side.
I used to find Fassbender really hot. Like almost unbearable to look at but with all the photos I see of him (and his gross wiry body and BACK BONE in Shame) I am losing my lust.
He’s wee and his shark smile is yellow 🙁 This photo op just high lights this even more.
Where did the lust go!?
I sort of feel the same way. A year or two ago I could barely look at a picture of him without falling into paroxysms of lust. And now? Not so much.
It’s not like he’s lost his looks since then, so I can’t really explain it. Just something about him seems a bit off. I know many will disagree, but he looks very average to me in the pics above – and not movie star average, but bloke on the street average. Oh well, I’m sure the man wildly desired by thousands of women will be devastated to hear I’m no longer madly in lust with him!
I feel exactly the same.. i dont know what it is but this pics do nothing for me , and i have no problem with his teeth XD, so sad :(.
I think im going for some hiddleston piece now XD
I read the he got engaged to his girlfriend this weekend…
made me sad 🙁
Lol where did you hear that?
Fassy, you need to call me. You’re a lovely beast, but you have terrible taste in clothing and shoes. Help me help you. Please. It hurts me to see you this way.
WHY does he not invest in some teeth whitening?! Boy, if you’re going to smile that wide you might as well whiten those puppies!
Nicole lived with her parents in London while they worked as part of the foreign service for Nigeria also when she received the Robin Williams scholarship from Julliard.I cannot wait to see his next project; I am amazed at the way Mr Fassbender uses his entire body to perfect his craft.
white or not, the shark smile is SCARY!!!!
Loooooove him. But he needs to get his teeth whitened. That is all.
Yeah, he needs to get his teeth whitened, because looking like a normal human being is absolutely unacceptable in Hollywood. Whilst he’s getting his teeth whitened so they blind an innocent bystander 10 miles away, he can also get an orange tan and surgery to reduce his repertoire of facial expressions to just one (persistent surprise). Let’s just get rid of everything that makes this man naturally attractive and turn him into a Hollywood clone. YAYYYYYY.
Anyway glad to see my boo is staying busy and trying to help others get started. Really tired of the teeth people who want to make every post of him smiling a damn whitestrip commercial.
Correction: He is Kitten’s boo.
(LOL) Kitty has got some claws on her. I see Kaiser and I have some serious competition over our man with his gingery viking dong!!
Thanks for the Fassy post Kaiser!
I love his shark grin hehe. He looks great and I think him and Nicole make a cute couple. I bet they would make gorgeous babies too :).
I think Fassy looks like he’s glowing in these photos! He looks younger, energetic, and HAPPY. Must be the good lovin.
p.s. His smile is gorgeous!
He looks like he is having such a good time – always. I love that.
He looks awful once again.
I just saw “Shame.” Now I get it. He is mesmerizing.
Why do people think his teeth are ‘naturally’ that color? If he is a smoker, then it is not unreasonable to assume that he has some staining from that habit.
I’m not one for over-the-top movie star blinding white teeth, but it is possible to whiten your teeth without going that far. I think some celebs get kind of addicted to it, just as they do with other cosmetic procdures, and go way too far… doesn’t mean one has to go that far. It doesn’t have to be one or the other… stained, yellow teeth OR blinding fake-looking white teeth. There can be a happy medium…. LOL
I love his shark grin. Dude’s smiling with his whole face and he looks happy. IDGAF that his teeth’s not Game-show Host white. Fass is who he is and that will always be sexy to me.
Kitten and bellydancer y’all better watch your back. *hides slut-darts in hair* 😀
