The Cool Off

[Blind Gossip] A year or two ago, this actor and actress were two of the hottest movie stars in Hollywood. Busy, too. In 2017, they each released approximately half a dozen films. Wow!

While riding that popularity wave, they thought that marrying each other would provide an even bigger boost to their careers!

That didn’t happen. Instead, their careers cooled off. A lot. She only released one movie this year. He released none. And the pipeline is not filled with dozens of projects.

They just aren’t getting the offers. Of course, they can’t panic in public. If asked, they just pretend that they are spending time focusing on their marriage. They are doing lots of photo ops to try to put forth that happy couple image.

It’s interesting that this cooling off occurred right after she lost her “sponsor.”

    Alicia Vikander

    I greatly enjoy Fassbender, although he doesn’t choose a lot of good movies, does he?

  11. aaaeggy says

    Definitely Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender.

    I like them well enough, but I’m definitely glad to get a break from them both. Vikander was never that great of an actress IMO

    Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Sad because both of them are really great actors to me.

    Vikander and Fassbender

    I’m not sure why. They are both decent actors.
    Vikander has possible substance abuse issues though.

    I’m assuming her “sponsor” is Harvey Weinstein?

    I’m a fan of Fassbender! Not so much of Vikander.

    Alicia Vikander & Michael Fassbender.

    I guess the question is: did Fassbender’s career also depend upon Harvey’s “patronage?” Did Harvey expect men to give him “favors” too? Is there an unspoken male #MeToo movement to Harvey’s story, that male actors are afraid to speak up about?

    Oh Alicia Vikander, I guess the Harvey Weinstein ride is over. Her husband is Michael Fassbender. I never did understand her appeal, her acting was very wooden and she was generic to look at.

    I liked her in Anna Karenina and he was good in X-Men. Alicia’s substance abuse issues probably caused her star to fall as much as the loss of Harvey “Disgusting Pig” Weinstein’s patronage.

    Michael Fassbender/Alicia Vikander

    He is a good actor, but without knowing about her “sponsor” i could never understand how she became so big.

    It’s obvs Bradley Cooper and his wife whoever. I really find it strange that in this day and age someone like Cooper would go so far as to have a child if he was gay. Just keep a low profile and don’t court the paparazzi. It worked for Kevin Spacey for decades, and he’s a two time Oscar winner.

    Actress: Alicia Vikander

    Her Sponsor: Harvey Weinstein

    [Optional] Are you a fan of either? Nope. There are plenty of other immensely talented actors to take their places.

    Fassbinder and Vikander. They only have 1 film each in pre production for 2019, according to IMBD. Her sponsor was Weinstein.

  42. radmom says

    Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. That whole marriage is a sham cooked up by Harvey Weinstein, and they never should have gone through with it after Harvey was toppled. He told them prior to his downfall, that they should get married, and he could market them better. Bad move.

  43. Sharper_Teeth says

    Fassbender and Vikander?

    all that snow could point towards his Snowman movie.

    She was good in Ex-Machina, but he scares me.

    Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender

    I think he’s a good actor, I love the film Fish Tank!

  47. Sleepyandconfused says

    Obviously Fassbender and Vikander.
    Weinstein was supposed to be helping her.

    I like Fassy.

    Sponsor: Harvey Weinstein

    I like most of Fassbender’s movie, who knew Magneto could be so hot. Liked her in Ex Machina

    He could have been the next Day-Lewis, she never had any talent to begin with.

    Michael Fassbender
    Alicia Vikander

    Love them both. She is gorgeous. A favorite of mine. She’d be my Hollywood Hall Pass. And he is a great actor for real.

    Alicia Vikander
    Michael Fassbender

    Love them both. She is my Hollywood Hall Pass :). And he is a very good actor. Fan of both.

  70. christiangreysanatomy says

    I’m going with Alicia Vikander & Michael Fassbender. Her sponsor being gross Weinstein. Nast. I think she’s a terrible actress. Unable to emote from her face and has the personality of a fly. Not a fan. Blah.

  78. Poppycorn144 says

    Fassbender and Vikander considering the linked blind is definitely them.

    I liked Fassbender’s earlier films (Fish Tank and Shame) and who can forget him as Azazel in teen goth drama Hex, but have yet to see Vikander in anything I’ve loved.

    Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander

    I’m a fan of Michael’s. I think he’s handsome, talented and charismatic for days. Alicia on the other hand isn’t as pretty or talented as she or Harvey Weinstein would have us believe. Michael made a huge mistake… get out ASAP.

    Nope. Didn’t like them then, couldn’t care less now.

  91. pipa132 says

    That idiot Alicia Vikander and her dumb husband Michael Fassbender! Were they even a real couple??? They are two of the most uninteresting people ever. They’ve sunk their careers, maybe if they divorce they can fix this mess. Her sponsor was that trog, Harvey Weinstein

  96. miss catharine street says

    Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender. They’re both very talented, so maybe this is just a blip.

  98. deering says

    Hmm, I was just wondering what Michael Fassbinder was up to lately. This sounds like him and Alicia Vikander. “Cool off” sounds like a reference to Fassbinder’s last failed movie, “The Snowman.” Like both their performances.

    I think he’s a talented actor. She has never impressed me. I actually had to google her name because I couldn’t remember it. I figure that her “sponsor” Harvey bought her, her Oscar.
