For his part, Fassbender hasn’t got a bad word to say about anyone. On Steve McQueen: ‘I love him too. You know, he changed my life. Simple.’ James McAvoy, he clearly adores. When I suggest that McAvoy – after a stomach-churning turn in the recently released Filth – might topple Fassbender’s monopoly on deviance, he is delighted. ‘I’ve heard he’s AMAZING in it. Anything that he does, I’m gonna go see.’
