“I thought Michael [Fassbender] was American because he stayed in the accent the whole time and his accent was absolutely spot on. So it wasn’t until about five years later, I was on my motorbike- no, my Vespa at the time. Yeah, no, I was like…I ride a motorbike now, I’m much cooler… but back then it was like a little *vrprprprprp*. And I was riding along the road and I just heard ‘JAMES! JAMES! MCAVOY! MCAVOY!’ And I was like oh, bloody hell, and I stopped at the light and this other Vespa kind of went *vrprprprp* and he went ‘IT’S ME! IT’S MICHAEL!’ And I went ‘What? I can’t-’ cuz the visor and the helmet stops me from seeing anything. ‘IT’S FASSBENDER!’ And I was totally totally dumbstruck, I thought this man is a classically, brilliant actor. I was certain he was from North America.” [x]
