Mmmm. Michael Fassbender. I’d like to…you know what? I’m just gonna stop there. Michael is really the man of the hour over in Hollywoodland as two of his critically acclaimed films will be hitting theatres soon. We’ve got A Dangerous Method and Shameless. Michael talked with BBC America about the films and the humbling experience of Hollywood.

In A Dangerous Method, Michael plays psychiatrist Carl Jung who has an affair with one of his patients. Jung was all about the sexual side of humans and how that affected us. In Shameless, Michael plays a guy obsessed with sex–and he spends a lot of it naked. So how was it playing these two sexually charged roles and does he see any insight into the role of human sexuality?
“I don’t really have any answers to anything. I know I’ve been posing a lot of questions. I think we’re living in a world that there’s so much information being thrown at us that it causes a certain element of confusion and anxiety and that sort of rears its head in a certain unhealthy relationship with food, drink, drugs, gambling… and sex. We’re looking for some way to connect to one another without any real intimacy or emotional content.”
Check out the video after the jump for the full interview. As for making it in Hollywood, and especially the Best Actor award he received in Venice, Michael said, “It’s amazing, it’s just very humbling, to be received in Venice the way we were. I feel blessed.” I love him. Which film are you more excited about? Watch the video after the jump then let us know in the comments!
Um….his new film is called “Shame”, not “Shameless”, by the way!
