He’s already been called the next Daniel Day Lewis. Now some people are saying that Shame, starring Michael Fassbender as a sex addict, is like Bernardo Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris starring Marlon Brando. I was 14 when I first saw that film. It f-cked me up for a good month about sex and relationships. When a man confesses his love, in Paris, aren’t you supposed to live happily ever after?

Here’s Fassy at the Shame screening at the New York Film Festival on Friday with director Steve McQueen. There was an after-party. Page Six says Olivia Wilde showed up. Give it a week and he’ll be the latest on her ever-growing list of hook-ups, after Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds, and Ryan Gosling though not necessarily in that order.
