The Sun claims Hollywood’s new favorite leading man Michael Fassbender “was asked to leave the afterparty of his own film, A Dangerous Method,” in London on Tuesday night.
How come?
A so-called “source” for the paper says, ”He was grabbing his co-stars and waltzing around the room with them. He lit a cigarette indoors and that was the point it had gone too far.”
Adds the alleged witness, ”Michael was politely asked to leave. He was in good spirits but it was becoming a bit of a handful for the other guests.”
The Sun notes, “His co-stars Keira Knightley and Viggo Mortensen looked a bit uncomfortable with his antics.”
Really?
Not. At. All.
Despite the fact that Fassbender did rely on the help of a friend to make his way out of the bash, he was in no way asked to leave.
A rep for Fassbender, who was actually at the party, tells Gossip Cop the story is “incorrect.”
And GQ editor Olivia Cole, whose magazine hosted the bash, blasted the rumor on Twitter, calling the tale ”complete fiction.”
Cole added, “We were glad he was there and no one was asked to leave early, but hey, feel free to just make it up #thatsnotjournalismitscreativewriting.”
Oh, snap!
