Michael Fassbender “couldn’t stop crying” on set of his new movie, The Light Between Oceans.
The Kerry man worked with director Derek Cianfrance on the new movie – who admitted they both had to force back tears.
“I have to say when Michael cries early on in the movie, I thought to myself, ‘Yeah, here we go,'” Derek said.

The actor stars with his current girlfriend Alicia Vikander in the movie, but also maintained a strong connection with the director as they both shared a cry together.
“Eight weeks into it, we would be together for scenes, saying, ‘Whatever we do, let’s not cry’, ‘Yeah I don’t want to cry anymore,'” he told reporters at a London press conference according to The Upcoming.
“But it was so ripe with emotion we couldn’t stop crying. We couldn’t help it.”

The movie was filmed on an remote peninsula off of New Zealand and Derek revealed that they had nowhere to go with no technology or distractions, just each other.
“I thought the isolation would play into it, be an X factor to us in making the movie and I think it was in some ways.
“We had nowhere to go, we didn’t have technology to escape to,” he added.
“We didn’t have many distractions out there, we just had each other.”
