Michael Fassbender has said he gets mistaken for Ewan McGregor – and, honestly, we don’t really see it.
“Ewan McGregor,” Fassbender said when asked by theHappy Sad Confusedpodcast the last actor he was mistaken for. “I’ve signed pictures of him… That’s happened a couple of times.”
Fassbender can currently be seen in David Fincher’s new movieThe Killer, in which Fassbender plays the titular hitman. The movie also stars Tilda Swinton and is currently streaming on Netflix.
He can also soon be seen inNext Goal Wins, Taika Waititi’s latest film that follows a soccer coach attempting to lead the American Samoa team to World Cup qualification. The issue is, the team is thought one of the worst in the world. The film is based on a true story; Fassbender plays the coach.
As for McGregor, he stars alongside Rhys Ifans in Mother Couch, which premiered at TIFF this year. He’s also starring in the as yet unreleased A Gentleman in Moscow, which also features his real life wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Next Goal Wins releases in the UK this December 26. In the meantime, check out our guide to thebest Netflix moviesand thebest Netflix showsto stream now to fill out your watchlist.
