Michael Fassbender is GQ's Breakout of the Year


Joining the deserving few to make the cut, Michael Fassbender was chosen as GQ magazine's Breakout of the Year for 2011.

Featured in the issue hitting newsstands nationwide on November 22nd, the English actor posed for a Nathaniel Goldberg helmed shoot while talking about topics such as his favorite activity to "observe, blend in, and disappear amongst the crowd."

Other highlights from Fassbender's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit GQ!

On preparing for his nude scene in "Shame":
"You feel awkward and mortified, but you get on with it. I'm not easily embarrassed."

On how he approaches finding the right role:
"I like a story that is challenging to me as a reader, and therefore as an audience, and therefore as a player."

David Cronenberg, who directed Fassbender as Carl Jung in this year's "A Dangerous Method," on Michael's ability to transform:
"[At the Venice Film Festival] nobody recognized him until we introduced him to the audience. The more a chameleon you can be, the better off you are."
