Charlize Theron on Working With Michael Fassbender

During an interview, both actors were asked if they found death or s*x scenes in the movie. Fassbender seemed pretty clear on his end, as he described s*x scenes as fun before saying, “Death scenes are easier.” However, his co-star’s level of comfort depended on who was in front of her.
“It depends who you’re doing the s*x scene with. I don’t have issues being naked,” she said before adding, “That sounds very slutty.” She further clarified that it depends on who she is working with and that she is lucky to have worked with people who she was very comfortable with.

However, there have also been times when she wasn’t very comfortable with the individuals she had to do the scene with. And she named the Shame actor as one such co-star as well. “And Michael’s one of the two who did not make me feel very comfortable!” the Old Guard star joked.

“I think he’s incredible. He’s so effortless that I want to punch him! It just seeps out of him,” she said during an interview with W Magazine. The Monster actress also shared that Fassbender is one of the funniest guys she has met, and they immediately hit it off while working on the 2012 movie.
Not just speaking highly of him, Theron also stood up for her co-star when he wasn’t nominated at the Academy Awards for his work in the 2011 film Shame. She said, “No disrespect to the people who were nominated for Oscars, but the fact he wasn’t to me was utter bullsh*t. I think he’s incredible.”
