There's been something going around Tumblr for a while now concerning women who've come forward with claims that he assaulted them when they were dating. I don't know much about it, only that there's more than one of these women but he hasn't been convicted of anything. One of my friends is very vocal about people being quick to forgive him because he's attractive and a good actor (and white, but that's something for a totally different thread), but how can you forgive him if he hasn't actually been convicted of doing anything wrong? My friend thinks that his films should be boycotted as a way of not supporting him (she says the same about Mel Gibson, Sean Connery and a few others, along with the music of Christ Brown) but I have mixed feelings about this. As I say, I don't know if there's any truth to the rumours- which I will consider rumours unless he actually gets a conviction- but I don't know if I would boycott his films. I don't really see many films simply because he's in them, anyway, but I know that I wouldn't have boycotted Prometheus. I hate to miss out on a film I really want to see because there's one person I dislike in it. Wow. Anyway. I went off on a bit of a random rant there. From what I've seen him in, I like Fassbender a lot. As has been said before, he was certainly the best thing about Prometheus (though I enjoyed the film as a whole) and he completely nailed his character. I liked him as young Magneto in X-Men: First Class, though his accent did get a bit dodgy at times, off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else I've seen him in, though I have got Shame on my rental list.
