On rising star Alicia Vikander in 2014, one after another, new proposals for movie roles rained down. The results of her work of this period were the Oscar-winning "The Danish Girl" and the fantastic drama "Ex Machina".
The handsome Irish blood Michael Fassbender - the owner of the Golden Globe for his supporting role in 12 Years a Slave, by that time had been repeatedly awarded. It so happened that the peak of his career came at the time of the heyday of the affair with Vikander. Is it a coincidence?
At the end of 2014, the actors met while filming the movie The Light Between the Oceans, where they played the role of a married couple.
They were often seen together. But the stars commented on this neutrally, referring either to friendly relations, or coquettishly avoided a direct answer.
Since 2014, she and Alicia have been seen together a huge number of times. The couple spent the weekend in Italy with friends. They also caught a wave on the beaches of Australia, where they spent at least a week in secluded relaxation.
Photo of the paparazzi in 2015, Alicia and Michael no longer hide their relationship and openly express their feelings:
And they began to appear at official events as a couple:
There is a legend about a quick kiss on the lips on the night of the Oscars, which Alicia gave her boyfriend in a fit of feelings at the time of the announcement of winning the Best Actress nomination.

Michael from the audience enthusiastically expressed his emotions, and many noticed how their eyes unequivocally intersected.
Since March, fans have noticed several gaps in their relationship. They even said that they parted for a short time.
Their joint film "The Light in the Ocean" was included in the program of the Venice Film Festival. In September 2016, the actors appeared on the red carpet as a couple. Michael looked especially happy in the company of his charming companion. They posed together for a long time in front of the cameras, so you could see the large diamond ring on Alicia's finger.
In 2016, apparently, the couple went through several crises, because they often rested separately and very rarely the paparazzi managed to catch them together:
In 2017, the couple was practically inseparable:
Fassbender by that time was 40 years old, and he had the glory of a fair heartthrob. Among his girls were celebrities. Zoe Kravitz - daughter famous musician. Together with her, Michael starred in X-Men and met from the end of 2010 to May 2011. And in the summer of 2012, it became known about a stormy romance with actress Nicole Bahari. In 2014, his companion was a model and actress Romanian descent Madalina Ghenea.
The press wrote about their romance:
"A pleasant Irishman with eyes in which you want to drown, and, apparently, Alicia succumbed to this feeling"; "Tenderness cannot be hidden from public eyes."
The actors themselves in every possible way avoided commenting on their relationship. Alicia has repeatedly stated:
"This is our private life. We have on her full right. I think we made it pretty clear that we won't make the relationship public."
Michael told the press in response to a question about the seriousness of his intentions:
“Our relationship is not easy to hide. It's too obvious not to be noticed. We got along very easily and are kind to our personal space.
When it was announced in 2017 star wedding, journalists received a short interview from Fassbender. He said:
“I found lightness and an extraordinary mind in this girl. From the first day, she impressed me with her naturalness, her demeanor, not only on the set, but also in life. She can look sophisticated in a man's shirt while eating muesli with yogurt, which I hate. But we get along great and are perfectly happy.”
On vacation with friends:
Alicia and Michael's wedding
Michael and Alicia's wedding ceremony took place at the La Granja estate in Ibiza in mid-October 2017. The entire area around the estate was cordoned off.
It became known to the press that the villa has a huge swimming pool, a luxurious garden and products on holiday table were from a local farm.
A source told The Sun:
“All the food they ate was local cuisine, some of the food was grown on the farm where they were staying. The fun continued until 6 am.
After the wedding on the Spanish island, Alicia wore a boho dress, while her husband wore a loose shirt and beach shorts. In this image, they went to breakfast with the guests. There were fruits, cheeses and biscuits. The DJ and band played music "almost 24/7" during the three day event.

Last night of winter 2016. Night of the Oscars. 88th Annual Academy Awards. On a stage illuminated by hundreds of lights, J.K. Simmons announces the nominees for Best female role second plan. Kate Winslet, Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rooney Mara... Alicia Vikander. The operator does close-up actresses - she sits in the front row to the right of the stage. Next to Alicia is Michael Fassbender. Both eyes are fixed on the stage. The entire hall held its breath. J.K. Simmons opens the envelope...
This could be the first scene of a movie about Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander.
Europeans conquer Hollywood
They appeared as if from nowhere - a Swedish dancer and a boy from an Irish village - and for short term went from obscurity to the top the food chain American film industry.
The emotional Alicia is spontaneity itself, her interviews full of exclamation points and enthusiastic interjections, the complete opposite of the focused acting on the screen.
"Alicia knows exactly what roles she wants to play, and is ready to make every possible effort to play the heroine she likes" - Vogue, 2015.
Possessing the mind of a diplomat and Woodallen's sense of humor, Michael, reasonable, prudent, playing with mathematical precision - for Fassbender there is no concept of "role", his ability to reincarnate is limitless.
“I have never seen actors take their work so seriously. This secret weapon Michael" - Jeremy Thomas, producer of "A Dangerous Method".
Vikander considers herself strong and independent and takes pride in her accomplishments. Fassbender urges fans and critics to take his work seriously, not himself. "I'm an actor," Michael modestly repeats through an interview, "just an actor." Vikander in Memories of the Future, Fassbender in Macbeth
Michael and Alicia started their acting careers in their home countries, Ireland and Sweden. According to him own words, Fassbender made his way upstairs for a long time and hard, there were days when he did not have enough money even for public transport. Vikander's talent was noticed early: her mother is a theater actress and she studied at the Royal ballet school did their job: at the age of 21, Alicia won her first professional award - the Golden Bug Award for her role in the film Purity.
“I set a goal - the game should become the main source of income” - Michael Fassbender.
Both got to Hollywood through British film projects. After participating in Anna Karenina, Vikander was called to several films at once - The Fifth Estate, Young Blood, Memories of the Future and, finally, Ex Machina and The Danish Girl, which brought Alicia a number of nominations and victories .
And for Fassbender, Steve McQueen's "Hunger" became a ticket to the world of big cinema. It was followed by Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, X-Men. First Class "Matthew Vaughn, Wildcats" dangerous method” and “Shame” and the Oscar-winning “12 Years a Slave”. Both directors and critics, and most importantly, the audience, appreciated Michael's talent and hard work, and soon his rented apartment was littered with scripts and proposals from the best directors and American Dream Factory film studios.
With an age difference of almost ten years, Fassbender and Vikander reached the nominations for the most prestigious film awards at the same time. And just at the same time, both became a trend and acquired millions of fans around the world. Alicia and Michael's statements about work, about the path to success in interviews with various publications can be summarized in one sentence: Love your profession, let it become your passion, be a fan of the industry and work, and do not wait for opportunities - look for them.
Australian meeting of Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender
The tenth years, saturated with career trips, led Fassbender and Vikander to the first plot twist in their personal history - they finally met. Two people from Northern Europe met on the set of the American-Australian project "The Light in the Ocean" - a drama about a childless couple: a lighthouse keeper and his wife, who found a boat with a baby on the seashore. 
Michael and Alicia in The Light Between the Oceans
Already in the first month, the actors were noticed outside film set- Michael and Alicia made trips to the beach and cafes, walked the streets of Sydney. As if they didn’t have enough time they spend together in front of the camera, playing devoted spouses. 
Michael and Alicia behind the scenes of The Light Between the Oceans
You can spend hours discussing the topic “what attracted the actors to each other?”. Did Michael follow his habit of getting involved with on-screen partners (he has short romances with fellow actresses Zoë Kravitz and Nicole Behari)? Did Alicia change her decision not to be in a relationship at the peak of her career? 
Alicia and Michael in Sydney, Australia
Already the first joint photos were accompanied in social networks and official media by comments in the style: “But they suit each other! Just look - yin and yang! "Like a predestination from above." “They seem to be from the same planet. Just not with ours."
And, indeed, Fassbender and Vikander have so much in common that it deserves a separate list:
Public appearances together after the end of filming in Australia and photo proofs of the Fassbender-Vikander novel are few, but do exist. The couple did not deny the relationship, but they were not going to make it a hot topic for the tabloids either.
Rare photo stalker loot - Michael and Alicia's focused kiss Fassbender and Vikander dated for nine months, managing to avoid the ubiquitous paparazzi and keep the press from hyping their under-the-radar low-key romance. And for all nine months, in not a single interview did they say a word about each other and about their relationship.
Dark side of the soul
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander broke up in September last year quietly, sedately and calmly. Explaining nothing to anyone - because they shouldn't. And they went to different continents - Michael was busy on the set of "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Assassin's Creed", Alicia starred in "Jason Bourne" (and five other projects (!)). 
Michael Fassbender as Magneto
Vikander and Fassbender never hid the fact that for them the profession comes first, and for the sake of it both are ready to sacrifice their personal lives again and again.
“Close people sometimes call me an egoist, because I devote more time to work than to all of them put together. But what can I say: at this stage, this is the most important thing in my life.” – Michael Fassbender
Reunion before Valentine's Day
IN romantic movies temporary cooling between the main characters is the law of the genre. The audience has to endure these few minutes, when it seems that everything is lost, that the characters parted forever. The brighter the emotions in the cinema are when the lovers are finally reunited again, having overcome external obstacles or rethinking their inner values.
Michael and Alicia did not last long apart. Less than six months after the official announcement of the breakup, as the network reappeared group photo couples - a couple of weeks before Valentine's Day - causing a wave of discussion and comments among fans on the topic "They are such a sweet and modest couple." And also jokingly indignant: “Is her phone more interesting than the man next to her? Michael, she doesn't deserve you!"

And in February, they "lit up" at the BAFTA-2016 ceremony. 
Alicia and Michael after BAFTA-2016
The opinions of the tabloids and fans were divided - did the feeling return or did it not disappear anywhere?
Psychologists say: if after a break we return to something, it means that we really need something. Fassbender and Vikander could be beautiful illustration this statement.
Alicia's father also confirmed the resumption of the Fassbender-Vikander relationship, calling Michael her daughter's boyfriend:
Alicia's boyfriend Michael didn't expect to win an Oscar. Even before the ceremony, he joked that it would be better for everyone if he did not receive a statuette: “The press will kill me if I take the victory from Leo” - Svante Vikander.
And The Oscar goes to…
Last night of winter 2016. Night of the Oscars.
J.K. Simmons opens the envelope...
Alicia Vikander - The Danish Girl.
The press will discuss the next ten seconds for several more weeks after the ceremony. Camera on Alicia: like a hummingbird, she flies up at the sound of her name, both amazed and radiant - can you be happier than now? – and before running up the steps to the stage, she leans over to Michael and kisses him. In one motion, drawing a line under the guesses and rumors in social networks - Fassbender and Vikander are really together again!
And at that moment, Fassbender's famous dazzling smile is not for movie cameras, not for photographers and journalists. At this moment, his delight and happy laughter - for her, this amazing girl, in her sunny yellow dress, similar to Disney Belle. come true American dream and climax romantic fairy tale. 
Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander kiss at the 2016 Oscars
Alicia and Michael's Emotional Kiss has officially become a Mini-Event within the Event, like Oscars Night is on this planet, nearly dwarfing the other important point ceremonies - long-awaited victory Leonardo DiCaprio.
The media reacted as expected: “Mazal tov!”. And the opinion of the fans of Fassbender and Vikander was also unanimous: “They are amazing!”.
Two Oscar statuettes on the mantelpiece in a London apartment
Astrological stars favor the earthly: Michael - Aries, Alicia - Libra. Signs of Fire and Air are distinguished by strong mutual attraction and the ability to create strong alliances. Zodiac yin-yang.
The question is, will their work schedules be divorced again? How much will they cherish the second chance and each other?
After all, is it necessary to put your personal life on pause for the sake of your career? Perhaps during the separation, both realized that there was no need to choose - you can have both. After all, somehow it turns out for others star couples- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts, Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard.
In addition, Fassbender is getting closer to the realization of another of his dreams - the director's chair. feature film(he has already mastered producing - he created a production company and trains on short meters). It is possible that his own project will be the second joint for them with Vikander.
At the beginning of her career, Alicia played the role of the Danish queen. Let's play Andersen and imagine a fabulous ending.
Early spring five or six years later. London apartment. A spiral staircase that leads - as Michael dreams - to the second floor. A luxuriously furnished living room, a mirror above the mantelpiece, where there are two Oscar statuettes - for the female role of the second plan and the male one for the first.
The house is quiet, the owners are away. They are in the City of Angels, in a hotel room, exchanging short remarks. Michael asks Alicia to hurry up: a limousine will arrive any minute. Alicia can’t cope with a complicated outfit: all this silk and lace ... And a couple of blocks later the red carpet is already spread out, and in the Dolby Theater everything is ready for the next annual Academy Awards ceremony, where Fassbender’s name will be heard for the first time in the nomination for best director, and Vikander - for leading role in his film.
Life of the Stars

Somehow we “croaked” that the marriage of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would soon fall apart, and we were right. Today we will look at another brilliant Hollywood couple, immigrants from Europe, an Irishman with German roots, Michael Fassbender, and a Swede from Gothenburg, Alicia Vikander. They became a couple in 2014 on the set of the drama The Light Between the Oceans, in which they played spouses raising someone else's child and faced a dilemma: give it to the found mother or keep it for themselves. Apparently, the fact that the actors lived side by side on an isolated island for a long time, and even played loving spouses played a role. The stars "dark" for a long time and got married in secret - on October 14, 2017 in Ibiza. We have doubts about the strength of this union, since we have found as many as 15 reasons for the imminent divorce of Vikander and Fassbender.
Michael loves to drink
The first reason is very good: Michael Fassbender loves to drink. Here is just one case that illustrates this habit of an actor. After the London premiere of A Dangerous Method, the stars went to a party in Mayfair. There, Michael pretty much “took on his chest” and began to famously dance along with Keira Knightley, turning the cafe into a dance floor. He got so carried away that he became uncontrollable, grabbed other actors and tried to carry him along, then lit a cigarette right in the hall, after which he was removed from the event by security.
He is capable of domestic violence
Probably, problems with alcohol became the reason for domestic violence. It was rumored that Michael could raise his hand to his girlfriend, and these rumors were confirmed by the ex-girlfriend of the artist Sanavin Andrews. In 2010, she sued to get a restraining order protecting her and Sanawin's two children from Michael. The star's girlfriend claimed that in 2009, Fassbender dragged her near the car and broke her nose, and in July of that year attacked Sanavin after a night of heavy drinking. She tried to wake the artist, but received a blow that threw the girl to the floor.
The couple has already broken up.
The third reason for the possible imminent divorce of Vikander and Fassbender: not everything has always gone smoothly in their relationship. After a nine-month romance, the couple broke up, but then reunited again. However, a fresh wave of rumors swept the tabloids when Alicia Vikander appeared alone on the red carpet at the 2016 Oscars.
Michael had many girlfriends
Michael Fassbender changed girlfriends like gloves and often had affairs with his co-stars. Among his passions are called Zoe Kravitz, who is also much younger than him, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Behari, Madalina Genea, Louise Hazel, Lupita Nyong'o and Naomi Campbell.
Alicia is not "his" type
If we continue talking about Michael's girls, we can trace a pattern: he chooses lively, energetic, passionate, uncontrollable, even evil ladies. Campbell is known for her antics and explosive nature, Kravitz is not distinguished by kindness and humility, Genea "walked" several male stars, including Gerard Butler, and made her way in their bed with a defiant image and plastic surgery. Forgive Vikander fans, but compared to these divas, she is just a gray mouse - sweet, but quiet, shy, not at all the type.
Michael is richer than his wife
Despite the fact that Michael Fassbender has always been modest in everyday life, did not buy luxurious things and lived in an ordinary apartment, material well-being in Hollywood means a lot. Michael started his career before wife, then became part of the X-Men blockbuster series and a number of others famous projects, so he is richer than Alicia. His capital is estimated at 30 million dollars, and Vikander's fortune is 8 million dollars.
He often worries for no reason
Michael, of course, a movie star, but in life he is reserved and often worried for no reason. He himself admitted in an interview that he was learning to cope with his anxiety, which tormented him with adolescence. Then anything could cause an attack of excitement: from thoughts of nuclear war to news of the spreading AIDS epidemic.
Alicia always prepares for the worst
So, we found out that Michael is a hypochondriac. But Alicia also suffers from constant anxiety. When she was able to succeed, she began to fear that all this would disappear. She is tormented by the thought that luck, fame and the resulting demand will not last forever, because the entertainment industry is very changeable and unreliable, one idol is replaced by another. Vikander is aware of this and always prepares for the worst.
Michael often plays violent characters
Fassbender often plays deviant and violent characters, which can also speak about the character of the actor himself - he likes to appear like that on the screen. Macbeth, who clears the way to the throne with the help of murders, the alcoholic inspector Harry Hole, the tyrant planter from 12 Years a Slave, the villain Magneto, android David with the manners of a god - they are all psychopathic to some extent.
Fassbender is filming all the time
In another interview, the actor revealed that his personal life is suffering from a hectic filming schedule. Indeed, Fassbender is very much in demand and at the same time selfish when it comes to work: he will give up the interests of others, but remain in the project that is dear to him.
Vikander is also in high demand
Almost the same can be said about Vikander. Having received an Oscar for her role in the biopic The Danish Girl, Alicia became just a hot favorite with directors. We'll see her soon new job– in a rebooted Lara Croft, and if the film is successful, a sequel is inevitable. So for the calm family life the star is too busy.
Too much media attention
Now that everyone knows about the secret wedding of Vikander and Fassbender, the spouses have begun to pay too much attention. Photographers and reporters follow on their heels, which cannot but irritate such reserved people. Close interest is quite capable of "jinxing" a couple. No wonder they avoided the media and joint red carpets for so long.
A happy marriage of two talents is a rarity
The union of two talented people(and both of them - both Fassbender and Vikander - have long proved their talent) usually does not lead to anything good. It happens that one of these star-spouses pulls the blanket over himself, while the other has “creative jealousy”. We remember very well how Brangelina's love "burned out" - they are both talented and did not get along, although they stayed together for quite a long time.
Vikander is a "product" of divorced parents
Alicia Vikander grew up in Gothborg with her actress mother because the Oscar-winning parents divorced when she was only 2 months old. Weekend and summer holidays Alicia used to spend time with her father, who is a psychiatrist, and her stepbrothers and sisters. This "juggling" between separated parents has certainly hardened Vikander, so she can take her own divorce quite calmly.
Alicia is too determined
Vikander seriously studied ballet, but dreamed of becoming an actress. Ballet, as you know, disciplines: a strict diet, drill, worn fingers, blood in pointe shoes. This lifestyle tempered Alicia and made her follow her dream, although at first the girl did not succeed. After her role in Anna Karenina in 2011, the situation improved, the Swede was noticed and invited to London, and then to Hollywood. So Vikander is very purposeful and stubborn. Such wives are not to the taste of every spouse, especially if he is a domestic tyrant.
