WATCH: Michael Fassbender and his dad are madder than a bag of spiders

Paul Moore

It must be life in Kerry.

It’s practically impossible to dislike Michael Fassbender because the star of Steve Jobs, Inglorious Basterds and X-Men has frequently shown that he’s more than happy to talk about any topic whenever he’s a guest on a chatshow.

As we’ve seen before, the actor is comfortable chatting about horse erections, life as an altar boy or that Killarney set production of Reservoir Dogs that me made as a teenager. We still want to see that!

The Kerry raised star was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night and he was delighted to partake in a game of frozen blackjack. What does this involve? Well, if you happen to strike out at the table then be prepared to have a jug of ice-cold water pored down your trousers.

Fassbender was on a winning streak until he decided to push his luck a bit too far. Where does he get this reckless streak from? Well, his dad might have something do with it. More about that below.

It seems that Jozef Fassbender is a bit of a character, especially after this story that his son recalled about how his dad always embarrasses him at Hollywood events. T

Take a look at what Jozef did when he met Willem Dafoe, a two-time Academy Award nominated actor.
