Michael Fassbender reveals he met his hero Martin Scorsese… in the toilet

Michael Fassbender has revealed he met his movie hero Martin Scorsese… by a urinal.

The Oscar nominee admitted he had always dreamed of meeting the Hollywood director, and eventually bumped into him in the toilet.

“I did meet Scorcese which was amazing. We actually had a conversation at the urinal. I started the conversation.

“I met him previously at another event, so I was just reminded him of that at the urinal. It was one of those moments to remember. It was pretty funny,” he said.

“He probably thought I was sneaking a peek because I’m taller than him.”

Meanwhile the Shame star said he has nothing against the Oscars, after refusing to take part in the campaign for Best Actor.

Michael was nominated for his role in 12 Years A Slave, but didn’t campaign to win.

“I have nothing against any of that. Fair play to anybody who gets involved in it, and I totally understand all of it.”

“It’s just for me, working was more of an attractive prospect,” he explained.

“But it was nothing against the academy or any of the members or any of that. I had to do a job in  New Zealand.”

“And I know going on that campaign, it requires a lot of energy and focus and it’s four or five months. So that’s the amount of time I could do prep and make a film.”
