Michael Fassbender's romantic love for Alicia Vikander is so great...

1) Good, if he said he was not alone most of the time that might be a huge problem. He and Alicia do not have much time to spend together between filming their movies in different countries and promoting them.

2) He was talking about the festival I think, not about the country 

"...It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

"Not have much time to spend together between filming their movies" is precisely the challenge that this relationship faces (striking a balance between work and personal life is something that affects everyone, not just Hollywood actors). I don't have a problem with him being alone. We all need that solitude on occasion. I just question how a relationship can flourish if you spend more time apart or alone than with the person you're dating.

The question wasn't "What does TIFF [Toronto International Film Festival] mean to Michael Fassbender?". It specifically mentions CANADA. The interviewer wanted to know about his special connection to Canada based on his experiences and/or perceptions. Being an open-ended question, there is no "wrong" answer. He could've talked about a fun canoe trip, the glorious natural scenery, the friendliness of the people, etc. and it would've been just as fine as him strictly talking about the work he's done there. But even with your interpretation, doesn't meeting the love of his life at TIFF qualify as being "about the festival"?


So much of the Vikassy relationship is hyped in the press as a hot romance but I'm not sensing that love vibe at all. It's one thing to be guarding one's privacy but quite another to completely avoid any mention of your significant other, even as a passing reference. Fassy respects Alicia as a fellow actor and openly commends her. At least that part is clear. But beyond that? I dunno. My two "exhibits" are just recent examples which came to mind about this topic.

Exhibit A:
It means that "I don't go out drinking/picking up women every night." He may once have wanted that image; now he doesn't. And he went out of his way to say that. And of course she's not always with him, because she works a lot as well.

Exhibit B:
The question may have been meant to elicit something about Alicia, but he was keeping it strictly about film. It would be very unlike him to gush over his gf.

You may be right, I may be; just suggesting here that there's another way to see it. I think personally--though I don't know him, have never met him--that he looked extremely happy and at peace with himself both in Venice and at TIFF. And though he has always been kind to fans, he somehow seemed to go the extra mile at these two events.

Edited to add: Sorry Capitolina, your answer appeared while I was writing--agree with both your points.

Wow! Bitter much!
You need to come to terms with Alicia being his girlfriend. You may not like it but that's the reality. They are both busy people constantly working but make time to be together as much as they can. Are you aware he flew straight to Munich from TIFF last night? She is filming Euphoria there.

How am I being bitter? I was pointing out what I felt are inconsistencies. You may not like it but that's the reality.

There aren't any inconsistencies, you have simply chosen to interpret his reluctance to share anything about his love life that way.

Are you aware he flew straight to Munich from TIFF last night? She is filming Euphoria there.

No, I'm not aware as there aren't any released pictures/videos or news reports that mention it. But I guess you have special access to their oh-so-private lives to know better.
