Have you been watching Sleepy Hollow? Apparently, it’s one of the biggest hits of the new crop of TV shows, and after its stellar debut, it was quickly renewed for a second season. Since I haven’t seen it, I did not know that Nicole Beharie has (apparently) a starring role. I became familiar with Beharie through her role in Shame (she played Michael Fassbender’s object of affection even though – spoiler! – he couldn’t consummate when he actually liked someone) and through her guest-spots on The Good Wife. She’s beautiful and talented and I want good things for her, so I’m pleased that she has a hit TV show now.
When Nicole worked on Shame, she obviously spent a lot of time with Fassbender. While filming, he was actually dating Zoe Kravitz at the time, but during the Shame promotional tour months later, Nicole and Fassbender got together. Michael didn’t have any qualms about calling Nicole his girlfriend in the press too – he obviously liked her a great deal. They dated for a year and Nicole announced their split this past January. So… it’s been about nine months with no Fassdong. Is Nicole still yearning for some Irish-German Thunder?
“Sleepy Hollow” drew more than 13 million viewers for its premiere and has already been renewed for a second season – but beautiful star Nicole Beharie’s joy is said to be muted because she’s still pining away for her skirt-chasing former beau Michael Fassbender.
Nicole, who plays Lt. Abbie Mills on the show, fell head over heels with Fassbender after they met in 2011 on the film Shame. And she was said to be devastated when he dumped her. Bust Nicole is getting moral support and advice on the set of her hit show, which is loosely based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Her handsome co-star Tom Mison is desperately trying to convince her to forget Michael and find a new guy.
Although Nicole still misses Fassbender, “she’s slowly but surely coming around… she’s thankful to have the series to keep her busy and good friends like Tom to keep her positive and grounded. Nicole is beautiful and will find the right guy soon enough.”
[From The Enquirer, print edition]
When Nicole announced their breakup on her Twitter, I kind of assumed that she was the one who dumped him, or that the breakup was mutual, like, they were working on different things and they didn’t have time for each other anymore. While the old Kaiser could definitely see how a girl could be hung up on Fassbender’s jock months after a breakup, this week’s Kaiser does not see the point. That GQ interview was a real head-turner for me. It wasn’t just about Michael’s surly (what I read as “surly”) insistence that he wouldn’t Oscar-campaign. It was also his sort of dumb-bunny thoughts on the economy and banking system. I’m kind of over it. Fassy will have to bring back the sweet-shop destroying beast to win my love again.
Oh, and I’m including pics of this “Tom Mison” person. Apparently, he plays Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow? He’s pretty cute. I hope Nicole gets on that.

I would be, lol!
I watched an episode of Sleepy Hollow. I thought Nicole was great in Shame… I’m not getting that same feeling from her in Sleepy Hollow, though. Idk… I should try again, probably.
I’m still on the fence as far as Sleepy Hollow goes, it seems to me like it’s a copy of Supernatural. Nicole Beharie isn’t awful but she’s not blowing me away either; I never saw Shame so I can’t comment on her performance there.
I like the show, both stars are pretty people. I was watching last week though and thought poor Orlando Jones, he looked so short next to Mison. (which is weird because there doesn’t seem to be a huge difference in that second to last picture)
Let’s talk about Tom Mison…. mmmm 🙂
I think he’s just beautiful!!! He almost distracts me from the show!
He is GORGEOUS. But what I’m most won over by is how freaking adorable his Ichabod Crane is! I would be happy to just watch him be puzzled by modern conveniences for an hour.
(I’m not as impressed by Beharie, and it looks like I’m not alone there. Her acting is so wooden and forced on the show; she’s miles behind Mison as far as charm and charisma go.)
Indeed Beharie’s acting is EXTREMELY poor in comparison to that GORGEOUS Tom Mison. I don’t feel that they have any chemistry together on the show and in interviews, Beharie is always giving Mison her googly eyes and he, being the nice English gentleman that he is, just puts up with it politely to appease her I suppose.
We must be looking at totally different pictures [and videos] than.
@ jasrina, I agree her acting is not impressive in the show, but surprisingly they do have chemistry on screen, otherwise people wouldn’t go crazy into the shipping (I personally see a chemistry as Abbie and Ichabod are friends until further notice)… But also, perhaps you should tone down the preconceived ideas belittling Nicole i.e. googly eyes and such in favour of Tom Mison… Plus he said if he could work with her for the rest of his career, he so would, I read that interview; so how is that for being a polite man? He is being sincere.
Yes Mison is adorable. Mison is hilarious, wonderfully dry and has a beautiful voice. He makes the entire show for me. Beharie is a bland but not terrible either. Seeing Mison without his wig is distracting he is so damn handsome. Holy cow. I knew he was attractive but his wig sort of tones that down a little. Without it he is completely strikingly gorgeous!
I’ve only ever seen her act in Sleepy Hollow, and wow is she awful.
Okay, some of you are just being mean because either you hated the fact that she dated Assbender or you are angry that Tom and Nicole light up the screen.
Let’s be real, the show wouldn’t work without both of them. And the rest of the cast for that matter. It is difficult to battle a British accent and I think she is doing a great JOB!!
I freaking love Sleepy Hollow and the two beautiful leads. They have such great chemistry that leads you to hoping that they get together.
I love Fassy’s taste in women and I almost forgot he dated Nicole. Mison is definitely my new TV actor crush; that accent he puts on is orgasmic.
I’ve been waiting for weeks now for this site to discover Tom Mison.
I’ll second that. I really enjoy the show a lot probably because of Tom and I love story lines like this.
Yes. He’s so charming in the role, and that accent….I especially love it when he calls her “leftenant”.
First new actor crush I’ve had in ages.
Yes me too. He belongs to the hot guy friday… why isnt there one anymore?! want it back!
Sleepy Hollow is one of these tv shows i am not admitting to my friends i am not missing an episode…they shall never know
I was really surprised how hot he is in Sleepy Hollow, because I saw him in Lost in Austen and he wasn’t hot at all. He needs facial hair.
i love Sleepy Hallow its great! I’ve loved this girl ever since Blue Violet. I’m super happy that the show got a second season. Tom is the bees knees. she need to get her a piece of that!
I’m enjoying the show, and she and Mison have great chemistry. She should definitely go for him over Fassbender.
I’m just here to say she has some impressive, beautiful b00bs.
I’d miss him if I were her.
I got the impression from the tweet that he had ended it. It just seemed, slightly pissed off in tone.
I love Sleepy Hollow too and think she and Mison have so much chemistry. Everyone has been calling it X-Files part deux.
+1
LOL please, girl moved on and she said she didn’t regret the relationship. It’s a bit funny how people think that Fassbender is all that and omg “irreplaceable”, how about Nicole was too good for him eh… the truth is (most) people fantasize over him because of the peen show in Shame not because of the fame or whatever intellect of the man lolololol! 😀
And yes Tom Mison is all over her a great deal, he keeps praising her and he said that if he could work with Nicole the rest of his career he so would! Plus they keep goofing around at comic con and during interviews… they better be doing it!
Sleepy Hollow wise, well to be honest her acting still leave a bit to be desired, but I guess she is still finding her way into fitting into the tough cop thing, Tom Mison is really good. But I like their chemistry, it works.
Speaking of which, I’m attending the TYAS premiere tonight yay, a bit anxious to see it as the book moved me to tears but looking forward to it!
Agreed. Fassbender is so overrated both as an actor & person
How do you know she has moved on? Are you friends with her? I don’t know what you mean by she is too good for him. The man is handsome, talented, rich, famous and has women lined up for miles wishing they can have him.
T.C. LOL! In her own words she said she has moved on and doesn’t regret anything, you can find the interview on the internet. I take her words for what they are.
Yes I stand by what I said, I think it’s funny people think Fassbender is all that, so to jump to conclusions that Beharie is the one hung up on him because he more famous or else etc. And being rich and having women lining up doesn’t mean anything, it’s what you are within, and like I said most are attracted to him since Shame, it was the turning point. And yes it’s MY suggestion that Beharie was too good for him hence the “how about”, not asserting it as universal fact, there is a difference.
Ooh enjoy the movie. Report back on what you think.
I’m dying to see it!
Will do 🙂
Sorry Elodie I didn’t know she gave an interview saying she’s over him. I don’t believe this National Enquirer story anyway it sounds pretty fake. I do get uptight when there are lots of comments saying one person is too good for another. I always want to know based on what?
Totally agree.I call BS on this, it sounds like mere gossip to talk about Nicole…I don’t understand why people put him on a pedestal concerning the women he dates.The same thing happened with Lupita,with everybody asking why aren’t they together as if every black actress on earth must be thirsting off Michael LOl
Agreed, the woman is belittled in favour of Fassbender, I really don’t understand… People read way too much into that tweet, she is bitter etc. Well nobody knows.
She is doing very well on her own, she is in the hit show of the Fall, so I doubt she sits in the corner and cries over it.
Wish everyone all the best.
Ahh, the Enquirer! Never too early to set up a co-star romance! Next week’s headline: Nicole finds new love with handsome costar! (Not that I’d object, hell, I’d go for it. 😉 )
The show is nuts, completely insane and works even thought shouldn’t …which makes me like it.
Sleepy Hollow is so good!! Their chemistry on the show is amazing,nicole is very talented and pretty. You’ll find a nice guy nicole,when you are ready. Tom Mison is so handsome,i hope u guys will cover him more. Instead of cumberbatch(sp)
“Instead of Cumberbatch.”
Yes, yes, a thousand times YES.
+1000.
@Ashley YES. I’m sooo tired of Cumberbatch lol
+10000
Yes let’s get back to covering hot guys like Tom Mison instead of creepy snake men like Cumberbatch.
Hahah. Seconded!
+1
Also, don’t call my new TV crush “this Tom Mison person.”
Oh Please MIchael cheated on her the whole time I think he just moves from girl to girl and if a guy really likes someone he won’t be cheating on her the entire relationship. I think he said her name in the press because people hype him up to be with certain black women he thought it would be good for his career and it wasn’t so he moved on. Zoe Kravitz is prettier anyway and Michaal Fassbender was too good for Nicole Beharie
Nothing more contradictory like saying he cheated on her and yet he was too good for her.
He’s still dating woc, hype or no hype.
You tried. Next!
Elodie I’m a black chick…so I am a woman of color! He didn’t like her all that much she probably put out and she had no qualms about cheating with a guy who had a girlfriend then she get’s upset when he does the same thing to her….She’s a terrible actress to boot. Please stop assuming that people are bashing her because she’s black and Michael can’t date women of color he does all the time in fact he’s dating another right now. In fact if a man really likes a woman he will introduce her to his friends as in the case of Louise Hazel. As well he tried to hide their courtship with Nicole most of the time by taking her to low key places he was seeing other women is why!
LOL! Ahhh the old card of “I’m Black” to justify and validate a pointless argument.
And do you even read yourself? Go back to your first contradictory post you were the one bashing her and saying he was too good for her now you are trying to back-pedal awkwardly here… and you did the same on Lupita post, bringing the Fassbender name over there saying I quote “he likes biracial/light girls let it go…” stoooooop you are embarrassing yourself 😀
And since when taking someone to a low key place means you’re cheating on them? How about they don’t want to be disturbed?
Most importantly, you know about zero squat about their past relationship, no one does.
And here “Well physically, I am attracted to darker women, I’m not gonna lie. To me I personally find them beautiful, but of course there’s more to a person than what meets the eye. Everyone has their own uniqueness.” – Michael Fassbender
Again, you tried. Re-Next!
Reading your comment was like reading all the bad tabloid’s stories rolled into one!
I hope Mison and Nicole do not get together in real life or on the show (well at least not for a couple of seasons; I don’t want “their love” to become the main focus of the show) because if they break up that might ruin the chemistry between their characters on the show and I really like this show.
As for the story, I doubt it. Just because she hasn’t openly gone out with anyone doesn’t mean she’s pining away over him. Maybe unlike him, she doesn’t need to keep her genitals Everwet.
Trust me, if they hook up those ICHABBIE fans will go beserk. LOL
It ain’t going to do anything to the show but make them more popular. When Kerry Washington got married, those FITZBOTS went ballistic! 😉
Uh we don’t know anything about their relationship one way or the other. The media always says that people hung up on this or that person and I almost never believe it. I think that she is focusing on her hit show that’s actually much better than that overhyped Shield by the way.
She should get with her co-star, he’s much more handsome thant Fassy in my opinion -Kaiser don’t kill me, lol –
oooh, you in danger, girl. prepare to be banned!
She’s been over him since she announced the breakup over Twitter. I hope she & Tom Mison are doing it or at least, flirting outrageously. Their chemistry is amazing and makes Sleepy Hollow can’t miss.
Nooooo Kaiser don’t run out of Fassbender love. Your Fassbender posts are my favourite. 🙁
I think I am the only person that was left unimpressed by Sleepy Hollow. So many people love it, that I wonder what is wrong with me?
As for Nicole, I doubt she’s still hung up on Fassbender. She can get better then that and while Tom Mison is not on my hot list, he’s much more attractive then Fassy (ducking tomatoes).
Not attacking Mom2two but what do you mean she can do better than Fassy? More handsome then him, richer than him, more talented than him or more famous than him? Tom Mison is hot yes but to me the same hotness as Fassy but he is just a TV star for now. No where in Fassy’s league. Nicole is a beautiful woman and can find another man quick but I don’t think he will be an A list actor at Fassy’s level. All that matters is finding a guy she loves he doesn’t have to be famous.
What I mean by better then Fassy is not by looks (Mison, in my opinion is more attractive), talent or money…but someone who treats her well and wants to stay with her.
I think she is over him and has moved on.
Fassy seems like the type who enjoys the benefits of being single and there is nothing wrong with that.
Oh thank god, you’ve finally picked up on Mison. He is the new Hiddleston, mark my words. Except without all the semi-pretentious Shakespearean babble.
Sleepy Hollow is great, and they are both charming on it. I was initially interested simply because it was a vehicle for Beharie, but I wouldn’t still be watching if I hadn’t enjoyed it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE sleepy hollow and I totally ship her and her co-star majorly lol
She looks gorgeous in these pics! On another note: I must be the only woman that finds Fassbender unnatractive.
You are not the only one. Also, he has an aura that screams “douche”.
This.
The thing that throws me off is how he looks so much older than he is or what he says he is.
+1
He’s so unattractive me. Ugh. And what’s the deal with his odd body? Long torso, short legs. Never a good combo.
Tom Mison, OTOH, is tall lanky and gorgeous. Everything I ship for. He and Nicole have wonderful chemistry. As for Nicole’s acting, I think she’s spot on. Her, “see this gun?” and “You’re offended?” are still funny weeks later.
I loved the scene where she was about to go off on that foster mother for the mistreatment of her foster child. Then they had Tom (as Ichabod Crane) step in to calm her down! Love this show.
LMAO @Delord.. I still laugh at that. I think Ichabod is supposed to be imposing and she has to give him his time. Plus, Abbie is not as squeaky clean as she appears. And Jenny did mention that she plays innocent. The show is just great the way it is.. BWT if I were her, I would be all over TOM. I wonder who leaked this Story. Probably Fassbender who wants her back.
Yeah, Fassy is probably missing her and not the other way around. Can you believe we have to wait two more weeks to see Tom (Ichabod) cry? And he’s so big that its hard to make him look small on screen (LOL). And based on the previews, they failed. Even leaning on Katrina, he’s huge.
She has such beautiful eyes and skin. I’ve watched all but the last aired episode of Sleepy Hollow. I expected to be blown away by Nicole because of her credentials. She went to Julliard for goodness sake. Her acting has been uneven to say the least. She isn’t awful or horrible, just not great.
You aren’t. He’s OK, but those yellow teeth squick me out.
I personally feel like some people will look older than they are and some will look younger. I get mistaken for being younger than I am and then there are people like my poor uncle who got white hair in his 30’s and looked older from then on. Why does it bother people so much? Do you need a birth certificate?
I think he dumped her. She seemed bitter just announcing their break up like that on twitter. Nah, something went down and she was NOT happy about it.
I almost forgot how cute and petite she was, I adore her hair. I have to say I don’t like Sleepy Hollow though. Sorry, my love for john cho and Orlando jones can’t save me from Nicole and her overacting. Glad she found a popular show to be on, I never saw her making it big or in films. The lead male isn’t anything special either.
Plus I must be the only one to just be kinda underwhelmed by Tom Mison. I mean cute yea, but I don’t see what the fuss is about. I find him cuter when he isn’t doing sleepy hollow. Also, did I just read someone say he is the next hiddleston/Cumberbatch?!? Lol why because he is English and tall? Takes more than that to be where those guys are, and from what I’ve seen, he doesn’t have it. Something tells me he and Nichole will be successful TV actors for a long time. Leave the movies to the others.
Yeah, I’m thinking he dumped her too. Because I remember being really thrown off that tweet. Because it really just came out of nowhere, and it was the way she said it. She could’ve said “Michael and I have broken up”, but she started with “Fassbender”–which seemed really detached, imo.
But I don’t think she’s the type to air out all her dirty laundry, so IF she is hung up on him, then we won’t be hearing anything but “no comment”. She should hook up with her other lead–he’s hot.
And what in holy hell is she wearing–that white dress? NO, girlfriend. No.
Holy $hit! Lol I just scrolled right past the pic of her in the white dress. You’re right, new stylist indeed. See I have no problem with clevage or a little sideboob lol, in fact I love it.
But oh, no Nicole. It’s a fail girl. I see that dress and I’m like “so she raided Miley Cyrus’ closet??” Looks pretty trashy. But she actually has something to promote for once and wants people to pay attention I suppose. I saw one dress on her at the shame premiere that had sideboob and it was slightly risqué but still classy. Looked great. This is not cute. Than again I never thought she was very fashionable to begin with on her own. She does look great in that group picture though. Easy and not so try hard.
Is it just me, or does she look a lot hotter on Sleepy Hollow than she does in most of these red carpet shots? I never saw Shame and I didn’t realize she was that girl until this post. But I’m sort of shocked at how much prettier she is on the show. She needs a better stylist.
She looks beautiful on the Redcarpet.
I’ve been off Fassbender for a while, and that GQ article just made me dislike him more. He’s so manly that he doesn’t have to listen to the driving instructor’s rules for safety! He spun out his car at a high speed in a manly way. HE COULD HAVE KILLED THE INTERVIEWER AND JAMES MCAVOY!!
DOUCHE!!!
Also, I love Sleepy Hollow. It makes very little sense, but it’s so much fun.
Yeah, that whole “fuck you buddy” made me give him extreme side eye. That bugged me a lot.
YES! Tom Mison! Pix!
*swoons*
…and I’m enjoying the show 😉
This story sounds like bull, she is gorgeous and I’ll bet totally over him. Anyhoo, I guess I’ll check out the series. Although my first thought on Mison was ‘budget Sparkles’
You never know with people, but these two have been apart almost as long as they were together, and a lot of their dating time was spent apart due to work commitments. I’m going to bet that she’s over him, or that if she’s not, she’s busy enough with her new show that it’s not something she has a lot of time to dwell on.
Actually after that passive aggressive tweet I’m guessing Fassbender was the one to giver her the boot lol. Ah well, we knew it would never last. Not with Everwet over there.
Anyways I’m Blah on Nicole. She’s adorable but I find her to be such a subpar actress IMO. Always pulling faces and bugging her eyes instead of just conveying the emotion. It’s a thing I see a lot of actresses do. Claire Danes does it all the freaking time too, and she is a much better actress.
Anyways I don’t watch sleepy hollow but who is that gorgeous redhead I keep seeing in group pictures? She in the show? I’ve always loved deep red hair against pale skin. Beautiful.
Couldn’t it be that something went down that made her angry enough to dump HIM and post that really terse tweet?
Any things possible lol but I doubt it. I just have a feeling he cheated or had a wandering eye one too many times. He is a very successful actor who travels a lot and is well known. Her…not so much. Women probably constantly throw themselves at him and he didn’t want to be tied down.
It was long distance right? Welp, outta sight, outta mind. Nothing against Nicole but it is what it is.
Great series. I hope it continues for a few years.
Aw that’s sad, I hope Nicole can move on eventually, it’s been almost a year now. I figured he dumped her or she got tired of being cheated on… either way not good. I watched a couple episodes of Sleepy Hollow but the acting is really poor so it turned me off.
It’s kind of interesting how Nicole is still pining over him and can’t get over him (must have ended badly) but his other ex Zoe is super cool with him and is still seeing him (showed up to his Counselor Premiere) . Hmm Anyway hopefully she can move on soon.
Ok, she needs to move on already, she knew when she got with him that he would break her heart. Didn’t Nicole dump her ex fiance to be with Michael while he was still with Zoe or something like that? Now Zoe and Michael still friends and Nicole broken hearted. Usually how these things end up. Cheaters, home wreckers and shady people always get theirs in the end.
The Enquirer is HARDLY a reliable source. She has said in an interview that she has moved on. Why shouldn’t we believe her?
Probably because she’d say anything to keep her name in the press and be associated with Fassy. If she’d dump her fiance for a Celeb and cheat etc. the woman will say and do anything.
Well the fassdong must be GOOD since she hasn’t gotten over him yet. Poor thing, must be even more tough to see Michael’s moved on just fine.
She’s black. I’m sure she’s had better and bigger.
That’s just a stereotype. Many Black men have normal and small size peens. Just because Nicole’s Black doesn’t mean she dated exclusively Black men before Fassy. Girl’s pretty open to the swirl. Fassy must have something for her to dump the guy she was with for him.
That’s an accurate stereotype. The majority have larger than average, so I doubt she was all gung-ho over Micheal’s nor was she ready to jump off a building at the thought of not seeing it again.
And the flip side to your exclusive argument is that just because she dated one white guy doesn’t mean she only dates white guys. Just sayin.
Really? I WISH that stereotype was true – NONE of the black men I’ve dated were above average. (And sadly, only 1 was a decent partner.)
Maybe I’m shopping in the wrong neighbourhoods…?
The Fassdong is larger than ANY NATIONALITIES average. Just sayin’
Not to sound like I’m bragging, but in my limited number of sexual partners, I only came across one less than well endowed black man. Even the white guy I dated had it going on. And its not like I picked them for at reason, it just turned out that way. Sorry for your loss.
The show is fun to watch and after seeing Nicole and Tom in interviews together I ship them on the show AND real life.
Tom sees crazy about her. He says he’d be happy to work with her for ever! I think he has it bad. He used to date Carey Mulligan for 3 years before Shia. Apparently she wanted him to move to New York but they split up so I guess he wouldnt move. Someone posted on twitter that he used to tweet about Carey and him going to St Pancras station and pretending to be in the Bourne film. He’s best friends with Homeland’s Rupert Friend.
They kept Tom and Nicole apart at NYCC for interviews and photos. He was put with Katia Winter and Nicole with Orlando which did not please a lot of fans who ship their characters and them.
It’s funny you mention that-what I’ve been hearing is that the show runners are a little surprised that people ship Abbie and Ichabod so much because they thought everyone would be way more interested in the “true love” of Katerina and Ichabod so they’re trying to move that more front and center. Too bad, because Nicole and Tom have mad chemistry.
@Kaiser: Also, she plays Jackie Robinson’s wife in “42”. She was radiant in that (very good) film!
She is not a good actress, the faces are waaaay too much and she’s not pretty enough to try and get by on looks like some actresses can. Meh on her
Maybe she’s still finding her stride with the character. Why do people keep saying she’s not that attractive or “pretty enough”? Are we looking at the same person? She’s beautiful.
+1
Saunna, you’re spot on :/
Nicole chile move on, he certainly has, it didn’t even seem serious to begin with. Girls these days… smh
Sleepy Hollow is amazing! It’s my favorite new show of the season and makes me excited for Monday so I can watch it.
She’s ugly can’t see how she got Michael but from what’s been said it was not serious and they are both cheaters. Hmm well whatever she will never do better so if I were her I wouldn’t be over him either.
I’d still be pinning too if I’d lost the fassdong, especially since it had to be magic or something otherworldly in how she got him in the first place. She’s not a good actress tbh the weird faces, hair touching, raising her eyebrows unnecessarily etc.
+1
Kaiser I’m really sad you’re over the Fassdong. I love reading about him on here. I hope you’ll continue to do stories about him. Don’t give up on Fassy. I still think he’s fantastic.
Sleepy Hollow has a huge fanbase. I left the room before their panel with the cast at comic con.
Fassbender is undignified and too old (8 years older!!!) for decent Nicole newayz! Every year outside 3 yr age difference causes more disconnect in a relationship. Still The One is out there for both of them though I doubt that lame skirt chaser can even be capable of holding out for or deserves real love! Nicole is too smart and saved herself from all the stds and foul karma of that sleeparound vile dog! LMAO Her show has me hooked top 5 best
Finally an actor I can lust over. Tom Mison is gorgeous and a bit of a character too. I was wondering when Tom would get some love. He’s much more handsome than Hiddleston and a far more genuine guy too.
Cheap publicity trick. Thanks, PR folks behind Sleepy Hollow, but Nicole is more than capable of standing on her own two feet.
Sleepy Hollow is the breakout hit of the fall due to Tom Mison – they don’t need to peddle fake stories about NB to get some buzz.
Completely agree! It IS Tom Mison who carries that show. He looks so sexy with that beard and long hair pulled back into a pony tail. Totally lust-worthy- *LOL*
Beharie does not seem to fit in to that show, her acting is bland at best and she contorts her silly face way too much!
That’s why I think someone’s trying to create buzz for HER. Tom’s great, but the reception to Nicole hasn’t been quite as warm. However, I think that, given time, people will come to like Nicole/her character more, so there’s no need to up the ante with non-stories like this.
Quit! No one is trying to get Buzz for her. You guys must not go to Comic Con and see these two (Tom & Nicole) in interviews, twitter, tumblr. They don’t need any negative press or be linked to Assbender. Trust me, Nicole and Tom are set. Sleepy Hollow got picked up for a SEASON 2 – So please.. To tell you the truth, it looks like she and Tom are together anyway. Sound more like Bender’s camp.
She is old news, basic in looks and talent and needs to move on already. He most certainly has lol This girl stays pulling tricks and hanging onto Fassbender’s name and recognition for dear life, it’s over now she gone have to stand on her own. trifling trick
And how do you know she’s doing this again? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Thirsty to find something on her. She’s minding her own business, working on her new show.
This is a fake-a$/ story and some hateful hens will eat it up because they want to believe.
Girl bye. Nicole showed her true colors, she a user and you just mad that ain’t nobody stupid enough to not see it… she got caught in her feelings and her games backfired. I wouldn’t be surprised if by next month she claims her and Fassbender are best buds. She trifling like I said. Now please get out ya’ feelings and move on, like she need to do.
Uh oh! I imagine Fassy’s hard to get over but um no kind of pathetic to be stuck on someone who’s beyond over you.
Most of you sound silly. This is the Enquirer we’re talking about. I doubt Nicole is talking about Fassy because she seems like a private person. Why did they have to bring him up when talking about her hit show? I like them booth but it’s ova…damn.
Nobody’s the better person because we don’t know what the fawk happen.
Now you guys can project whatever you want on this ‘story’ but you just DON’T KNOW!
P.S. Micheal is NOT an overrated actor. Stop that B.S…rating people based on there relationship statue SMH
+1,000,000,000
SMH at people giving credence to an Enquire article. An Enquire article. And LMAO at the ability of the haters to sniff out bait. As soon as I read the title I was like, here come the Fassy haters. Followed closely by the Beharie haters. I wasn’t wrong.
Speaking of Fassy, people fall off the Fassbender bandwagon all the time. Some get back on, some don’t. But that man’s star keeps rising, still. Good for him.
You speak truth Kas.
Ms. Beharie is seen wearing a ring on her engagement finger since August 2013: but she is so not over MF.
A woman who keep getting marriage proposals from the US and diverse places as Brazil, Australia etc. with an increased popularity over 200% is so miserable.
Still Brooding.
I will not be surprised if she pulls a “Kerry Washington-type” relationship with whomever.
Pretty and talented woman.
Who is she engaged to? Is he famous? Rich? Just wondering 🙂 Congrats to her though
Never infer that she was: but if so I assume it is someone unknown to you. I hope that he is decent.
She’s not over Michael yet? Sheesh
Y’all want to touch his Ichabody.
Yes please!!!!!! *LOL*
I thought Tom Mison was gay. I just assumed he was Nicole’s new BFF.
Tom was with Carey Mulligan for a couple years.
Please MORE Tom Mison on this site, he is one fine looking gentleman and that British accent….OMG!!!!!!!!! To DIE for!!!!!!!! He is so, SO sexy!!!!!!! I could admire him alllllllllll day long! *LOL*
Not enough exclamation points.
I didn’t know so many readers here were Sleepy Hollow fans! I mostly started watching because I live not too far from the actual town of Sleepy Hollow (yes it is a real place minus all the supernatural creatures and headless horsemen running around). I visited Washington Irving’s house (guy who wrote the short story) not too long before the first episode premiered and I was curious to see how they would adapt the story to tv. Tom Mison pretty much carries the show. I like Nicole too but I feel like she is still figuring out her character. But I totally ship Crabby (I’ve also seen Ichabbie but that sounds like some unpleasant sickness). Please cover Tom Mison more!
I;d be surprised if the show runners are shocked by the shipping of Tom and Nicole. They have them making eyes at each other in each episode. Mison has crazy chemistry with everyone he works with. The woman playing Katrina isnt a very good actress but to be fair to her the writers have hardly written any scenes for her and Tom. Their kiss last week was hot.
I just started watching Sleepy Hollow and the only thing I keep thinking is: please someone, anyone, get Crane some new clothes!
He’s meant to be a fish out of water. If he walks around in jeans and a t shirt he’d be like any average Joe. The clothes are iconic like Sherlock with his Belstaff. The need for Ichabod to be cleaned up and antiseptic amuses me. A lot of american fans seem to want that. Perhaps they’d really rather a blonde haired sun kissed beach bum Ichabod.
Why does nobody ever ask that for Doctor Who, Captain Jack, Neo, Sherlock, or any of the hundreds of other characters who wear iconic coats/clothes? Why the focus on this one guy? Do you really think Doctor Who is dropping his jacket off at the dry cleaners in between episodes?
I don’t want them to change Crane’s look, but I suppose if they do that will be the one upside – nobody complaining in the comments sections anymore.
(Oh, and Betsy – I’m an American.)
I think she is over him.

Sad. She’ll eventually move on from Fassy but I can understand why she’d still be stuck on him.
Nicole is not a good actress. Very strange behavior from someone who’s Julliard trained. Not only are the faces distracting, the mannerisms, eye movements and mouth movements are weird, unnecessary and just plain excessive. lol I noticed she did the same faces in her other films so it’s not like she is still trying to get better at acting, she’s plateaued and her acting stinks, it’s unfortunate really. I could make an excuse and say she’s trying to figure out the character etc. but it’s not that, she always does the same thing, she’s just not good.
I personally tend to think that it has to do with the direction i.e. what the director can bring out of the actor/actress no matter their training background. Say for example, Michael Fassbender is at his top game when he works with McQueen (and Fish Tank close second to one his best performances imo) looks like McQueen knows how push him beyond, Henry Cavill sucks really but he was good enough in The Tudors, whereas I really found him meh in Man of Steel. Or another actor would be Jason Statham, my goodness he sucks in all those actions movies but in Lock Stocks and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, his comic/sarcastic/voice over timing were very good, Guy Ritchie did a good job with him; overall it can be a hit and/or a miss. In Nicole Beharie case, yeah her acting isn’t impressive at all in SH. I think she hasn’t found the right director that can bring her potential and may be a facial expressions coach in order to convey the emotions naturally can help, then she will improve; but indeed the chemistry with Tom Mison still works on the show somehow… and I’m all for Black actresses breaking it whether on big or small screen, so I hope she improves 🙂
THIS. +1
You know I’m used to some actresses having quirks and things they can’t get over. I usually get used to it because it doesn’t really detract from their character and it’s usually not so bad (i.e. Gabrielle Union) but with Nicole it’s cringe worthy. I knew I wasn’t the only one to notice. lol I still watch Sleepy Hollow b/c I support black actresses doing their thing and Tom is cute but sis needs to get it together.
I will pay to see her act. I doubt that her sister will be negative towards her on a blog.
Why include your support for black actresses? Why not all accomplished actresses?
Are black actresses considered charity cases or someone is trying to act black?
@ Green Eggs, errr, the ugly truth is Hollywood is still very much racist (and by extension sexist, homophobic etc), on the big screen minorities are mostly portrayed in stereotypes, TV shows are getting Whiter and Whiter, so whenever a Black actress (and other minorities by extension) makes it big, hell yes even more support, as minorities are a drop in that ocean. And before bringing the argument of Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jasckon etc. They ARE also part of that drop in the ocean.
Don’t get me wrong, as much as it’s honorable “why not all accomplished actresses”, it’s still an utopia, so nothing wrong to show support to a Black actress who lands a lead whether on a tv show or film, same for an Asian, Latino, Indian etc. I’m all for that.
Case in point? Chiwetel is an accomplished actor, far superior to many of the cast in Twelve Years A Slave, and yet it’s considered his breakthrough role? The man has been around for a while, is an accomplished actor on stage, on big screen, on TV… and yet Fassbender who came around much later is more in demand than he is… That is the uncomfortable truth, and I’m not denying Fassbender talent here, because he is truly talented, but to me Chiwetel is superior. So had he been White with all these skills, the outcome would have been different ages ago. That’s the truth, nothing to do with “charity case”. Oh well…
@Green Eggs and Ham
Saying Nicole isn’t a great actress and can seriously work on her craft is not negative. It’s a fact. You must not know that sis doesn’t mean sister like a blood relative right? LOL Sis is a euphemism and I use it when and how I will. Smh “Why not say all actresses”? Well duh b/c I’m talking about Nicole who is a black actress. -_- There is a shortage and I will watch any black actresses whereas if a white actress is not good I wouldn’t keep watching her show b/c there is no need. You sound dumb as he^^ talking about are they charity cases. Bit^^ swerve and stop acting like you are unable to understand such a simple concept.
@Violeta yaaaaaaaaaaaaas exactly
+1
Nothing wrong with supporting black actresses or wanting them to get better at their craft. Ignore the troll GE&H
Right on.
Seriously, people pretending that Hollywood is a pretty melting pot whereas it’s really one ugly Salad Bowl make me chuckle.
And people are so pressed, behaving like Nicole is someone Michael Fassbender picked off the streets so oh the Sis got lucky… She’s a young, beautiful, Julliard grad, educated woman as far as I remember, and I hope she perfects her craft.
It seems irony is lost on you; I know exactly what “Sis” means as a black idiom. You just do not use it to insult Ms. Beharie than have the come back that you support black actresses.
Why bring that in?
The Hollywood as a melting pot is a ridiculous notion. It is trying to be a cultural imperialist. You do not want to critique you culture; keep it there.
I love the “Stories We Tell” more than anything Hollywood has to offer.
BBJudi is a moniker from LSA who has a personality. Her posts do not emit the bitterness of yours.
Ok so it looks like my last comment didn’t go through o_O Basically I just can not with you, like LOL? Seriously? I’m sorry that BBJudi is a “moniker” you use somewhere, I guess I should pass my usernames by you in advance so that you can approve of it beforehand? You must have not seen ATL b/c the girl who threw the party was named Big Booty Judi. lol Anyway as far as the “discussion” we’re having goes I’m beyond over trying to explain how saying an actress needs to work on her acting equals “negative” and “insult” especially when it’s quite obvious she does. Just because I support black actresses does not mean I can’t speak about their flaws or weaknesses. You have taken my comment and ran all the way across the world with it and saw what you wanted to see I guess. *shrugs* I don’t see why so invested unless you are Nicole in which case no offense was to be taken just an observation and opinion, do you girl.
So have a good one Green Eggs and Ham b/c it’s obvious your problem has little to do with my comment.
Moving on…
@ Green Eggs your comprehesion skills are a bit challenged, I wasn’t saying that Hollywood WAS a melting pot, YOU were the one saying “why not all accomplished actresses” whereas the difference is there, despite being accomplished, there is NO equality whatsoever, thus why I made the “melting pot” analogy to refer to your own comment. So until further notice, it will never be “all accomplished actresses” it will always be Black Actress, Mexican Actress, Japanese Actress etc. It will never be just Actress, that’s the difference, that’s the messy Salad Bowl. Now hopefully you understand this time. Cheers.
I am a black woman; who would not be intimidated with the likes of you. I will not be silenced.
It is not uncommon that people pretend to be other races to spread negativity on persons of a particular race.
Not invested in Bullies.
@ Violet
Congratulations!! you know 3 big words.
You’ve won a cookie.
Last post on the subject.
Michael has moved on and there is no need to be pinning over him this long after. She will get over him eventually but I get that’s he’s hard to move on from as the fassdong is a powerful tool 😉
This article sounds so fake though lol
It would be pretty awkward for Nicole to still be pinning over Fassy at this point seeing as she is most likely married and/or engaged. She has been wearing an engagement ring on her ring finger since July AND she also posted a pic of a woman in wedding and captioned it “WED” on her Instagram page in July around the same time she started being pap’d with her ring on. Although she hasn’t talked about it YET publicly as far as I know she is obviously not trying to hide it either. Flashing her ring and posting pics to her Instagram is hardly subtle. lol The lucky guy could be famous, non famous, perhaps her ex-fiance and her got back together, etc. etc. who know’s? She seems happy and that’s all that matters. Time will tell.
Oh no! He needs the long hair. Without it, his head looks odd….
I don’t know. I get nothing from him without the Ichabod-style hair 🙁
TOSS UP: TOM OR ASSBENDER?
TOM!!
Whether real or fake, If Tom is working with her 24/7, I doubt Assbender would be on anyone’s mind.
