Clue: he's Irish and a very talented actor. X-Men: Days of Future Past and Hunger actor Michael Fassbender is gracing the cover of British Elle Magazine’s December issue. This is the second time that the male star has appeared on the cover of the magazine following in the footsteps of David Beckham, who become Elle’s first male solo star in 2012. “I’ve never really thought of myself as good looking” the actor revealed in the issue. “I think of myself as, you know, alright.” The actor went on to talk about his life, saying: “I used to have bad acne as a teenager, so all of this is a bonus now, the fact that I don't have pimples anymore.” "And my hair was also, you know, unfortunate. I had really long hair. I mean, I tied it back most of the time, but I had all these frizzy bits coming off the top and whenever I let the hair down, it went like this [indicates big, bushy frizz]." Fassbender was photographed by renowned English photographer David Bailey for special edition cover. Images via Elle Magazine
