On a recent episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” actor Michael Fassbender made an appearance and discussed some interesting topics with the host. Fassbender, known for his roles in movies like “Prometheus” and the X-Men series, shared some personal insights and engaged in a fun game during the show.
The conversation began with Colbert mentioning a commercial that Fassbender did for Guinness. It turns out that in the commercial, Fassbender had to apologize to someone, but he didn’t reveal the reason behind it. The commercial starts in Ireland, where Fassbender’s character gets inspired by a song on the radio and starts walking across the country until he reaches the cliffs and dives into the Atlantic.
Colbert humorously mentioned that it was impressive that Fassbender survived swimming in the Hudson River, but Fassbender clarified that it was actually an ice plunge he enjoys. Fassbender confessed that he hates the cold but started doing ice baths because someone told him they were good for his health. He even has an ice bath in his trailer on set, where he endures the freezing temperature for about 3 minutes at a time. Fassbender jokingly mentioned that people in the ice bathing community have criticized his technique, but he’s just following the advice he received.
The conversation then took a turn towards Fassbender’s interests outside of acting. It turns out that he had a passion for music and even played the tin whistle in his early days. He later learned to play the piano accordion, which was bigger than him as a child. Fassbender also had aspirations of becoming a lead guitarist in a heavy metal band but admitted that he lacked the necessary skills. Ultimately, he decided to pursue acting because it was easier.
This episode of “The Late Show” provided viewers with an opportunity to get to know Michael Fassbender on a more personal level. From his adventures in ice plunges to his musical aspirations, Fassbender’s charisma and humor shined through in the conversation with Stephen Colbert. As always, “The Late Show” continues to provide entertaining and insightful interviews with some of the most talented individuals in the entertainment industry.
