Michael Fassbender Gets Wild at His Dangerous Method Afterparty

Michael Fassbender was in a joking mood last night following his London premiere of A Dangerous Method! Inside 34 restaurant, he danced around with a Burberry Prorsum-clad Keira Knightley and their costar Viggo, as well as some other lucky attendees! Michael then sat at a piano to serenade the group that also included Keira's mom Sharman Macdonald. He got a piggyback ride from a friend out to his car, then proceeded to mock-fight with a group of photographers. Keira made a more low-key exit with her Klaxons musician boyfriend James Righton. It was an evening of fun during what's shaping up to be another busy year for Michael. It was recently confirmed that he'll work on another X-Men movie with director Matthew Vaughn.

Michael Fassbender Suits Up For a Dangerous Premiere With Keira Knightley

Michael Fassbender reunited with his A Dangerous Method costars Keira Knightley, in Burberry Prorsum, and Viggo Mortensen this evening for a London premiere.

Michael Fassbender reunited with his A Dangerous Method costars Keira Knightley, in Burberry Prorsum, and Viggo Mortensen this evening for a London premiere. The film came out in the US last Fall but is only just hitting theaters in Keira's home country. To promote the release, Keira's on the cover of GQ UK. An interview in which she discusses making the sex-themed David Cronenberg picture accompanies an equally racy photo spread. Speaking about her relationship with Klaxons musician James Righton and a recent reimmersion in work, Keira said she's in a great place. She commented, "I'm actually loving this bit right now — doing the work I'm doing, having the life I can have around it. Right now, it's really good."

We recently caught up with Keira to find out what she thought about working with Michael. Many thought Michael was overlooked when he didn't snag an Oscar nomination for his role in Shame, and Keira likely agrees. She told us of Michael's performance in Shame, "I think he's amazing . . . He's a phenomenal actor, and I think his performance in Shame is amazing. Talk about brave. I think it's wonderful."

Celebrity Interviews

Viggo Mortensen Talks Working With Kristen Stewart in On the Road

Viggo Mortensen is currently in Spain starring in a production of Purgatorio, but his A Dangerous Method just opened here in the US to quite good reviews.

Viggo Mortensen is currently in Spain starring in a production of Purgatorio, but his A Dangerous Method just opened here in the US to quite good reviews. We had a chance to ask Viggo about tackling the role of Sigmund Freud opposite Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley. He also gave us some random tidbits about his life like his favorite books and holiday dishes, and even spoke about working with Kristen Stewart in their upcoming On the Road. Viggo kindly cleared up any confusion movie-goers might have about the adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic book and his 2009 movie with Charlize Theron called simply The Road. He said:

BuzzSugar: One of your next films coming out is On the Road. How was it filming that movie with Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, and Tom Sturridge?
Viggo Mortensen: Of the three actors you mention, I only worked with Kristen Stewart, who did a great job with her character from what I could see. Walter Salles, the director, has a light touch and is very kind, extremely intelligent, and very helpful with the actors. Great crew on that shoot. The images I have seen are strikingly beautiful; they really capture post-WW2 USA landscapes, people.

Buzz: As for A Dangerous Method, what did you think when you first saw yourself dressed up as Sigmund Freud?
VM: I thought: "Yes, this might work; looks right so far. Now I have to find the character's voice, his tone."

Buzz: What's on tap for you at the end of 2011?
VM: I am finishing the run of the Ariel Dorfman play Purgatorio, which I am acting in at the Matadero theatre in Madrid, Spain. Been a tough but rewarding challenge after more than 20 years not doing a play. Tough subject, difficult script to memorize and present. Has gone well — full houses and good reviews — but will be glad to relax with friends and family a bit after we finish just before the holidays.

Red Carpet

Keira Knightley Bares Her Abs at a London Premiere With Michael and Viggo

Keira Knightley showed some strategic skin last night at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of A Dangerous Method.

Keira Knightley showed some strategic skin last night at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of A Dangerous Method. The actress, decked out in Roksanda Ilincic, joined her costars Viggo Mortensen and Michel Fassbender on the red carpet along with their director, David Cronenberg. We were able to catch up with David and Michael at a recent NYC press day for the picture, which is out on Nov. 23. Michael said that he loves all the traveling his career requires at the moment, which is a good thing considering that he's been in NYC, San Sebastian, Toronto, and Venice during the last two months alone. He's doing double the jet-setting, since he has the Cronenberg film as well as Steve McQueen's Shame to chat up at festivals around the world.

The Dangerous Method reviews are so far mixed, but David is confident about his leading lady's work. At a press conference yesterday, David said he only wanted Keira to play the role of Sabina Spielrein. He said of Keira, "I think she's underrated as an actress. I took her seriously as an actress right from the first moment, and I was always looking forward to working with her, and I never offered this role to anybody else."
