Here are some new photos of Michael Fassbender and his girlfriend Alicia Vikander posing together in Monaco. Alicia accompanied Fassy to the Cannes Film Festival, where they hid out for nearly a week until the amfAR gala and Fassy’s Macbeth premiere. Alicia did not walk the carpet with him at either the amfAR gala or the premiere, but she was very conspicuous at both events. I guess Alicia had another reason for being there: she’s a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, and she wore LV for all of her appearances. But it felt like she was mainly at Cannes to spend time with Fassy, maybe even to keep an eye on him considering several of his exes were out and about during the film festival.

In any case, after Cannes, Michael took Alicia to the Monaco Grand Prix, because Fassy loves cars. Alicia seems to be playing along rather well. I’ll give her some credit: she’s doing what it takes to maintain this. Usually Fassy goes through women pretty quickly, especially when they’re costars. His record seems to be a year-long relationship (Nicole Beharie). But I still have mixed feelings about Alicia in general. There’s something about Alicia that seems rather… thirsty? My main exposure to her was her W Magazine cover profile a few months ago, where she made sure we knew that Fassy was her boyfriend and that she plans to attend the Oscars to support three of her films next year. The fact that it seemed like she organized a pap-friendly makeout session with Fassy didn’t help either.

So, considering how quickly Fassy usually moves through ladies and given Alicia’s instance on being the one to “stick,” this should get interesting. A few days ago, Deadline reported that Alicia’s performance in Ex Machina got her such great buzz, she’s now an in-demand actress for a variety of projects. One of the big ones: Assassin’s Creed. That’s the long-gestating project starring (guess who?) Michael Fassbender. Fassy’s producing it too, which means he’s getting a say in casting. Up until now, Marion Cotillard was loosely attached to the female lead, but I guess Marion is being thrown over for Fassy’s girlfriend? And what happens if Fassy and Alicia break up before then? I also think it’s a bad idea to schedule projects with your boyfriend before the first film you made together even comes out – and God knows, The Light Between Oceans is going to SUCK. Even if Fassy acts his ass off and Alicia is perfect, it will still suck. The source material is soul-crushingly awful.

Oh, and the Deadline article also says Alicia is in talks to star opposite Matt Damon in the new Jason Bourne movie. Oooh, CB is going to get riled up if this little hussy puts her thirst all over Matty D.
