Michael Fassbender is dominating GQ’s covers in both the US and France for June 2012. Be sure to pick up a copy!

Michael Fassbender, whose big budget summer fare experience began last year with X-Men: Origins, teams up with Charlize Theron and director Ridley Scott for the highly awaited sci-fi flick Prometheus. Working with Theron was a great experience for Fassbender, as he admits that he’s a big admirer of her work.

Our June cover star is really enjoying his moment.

It’s been a hell of a few years for the 34-year-old having risen from relative obscurity to become one of the most talked about actors of his generation – with a whole new world of opportunities thrown in.

“It would be wrong of me to say that I don’t get seduced by certain things. That things don’t become tempting,” he admits.

“The thing is I don’t like to filter my behaviour, but I have a feeling that might be the case now…I don’t want to be in the newspapers. I just want to keep what I do on screen and that’s it.”

With a long list of recent credits including a starring role in Ridley Scott’s forthcoming sci-fi blockbuster Prometheus, Fassbender is now enjoying a self-imposed hiatus as he looks to the next phase in his career.

“The next thing is to develop, make your own stories with writers, gather a pool of creative people and develop stuff. So it’s not the fact that I’m waiting for someone else to hire me or I’m waiting for a really good script to arrive, I’m actually trying to make that script.”

For our penultimate prize, it’s only getting more exciting. Jameson Irish Whiskey is responsible for the Empire Hero award this year, and a screenwriter both kick-ass and Kick-Ass is here to present it, in the shapely shape of Jane Goldman. This one goes to “an actor in their prime” to acknowledge their body of work. And this particular recipient has had a hell of a year.

Goldman: “The winner this year has often been described as sex on legs, but as it happens he’s also intelligence, charm, passion and vulnerability on legs as well. Film has always been his passion – he appeared in a stage version of Reservoir Dogs 14 years ago; since then he’s appeared in a Tarantino film. Whatever the genre, he grounds his characters in reality. He lost 3 stone in Hunger, he spanked Keira Knightley in A Dangerous Method and in Shame he bared all. But in each case he transcends actorly stunts. But perhaps his greatest performance of the last 12 months is the patience he’s shown in the face of continual questions from journalists about his physical assets.”

Yes, the winner is MICHAEL FASSBENDER.
Fassbender: “Well, this is kind of unusual, because I always wanted to be a superhero. The first job I wanted to do was be Superman, so a hero award makes it official now, thanks to Empire. It’s a magazine I actually always did read and follow as a film fan. And Jameson is my favourite whiskey, so this is pretty special!”

We highly recommend watching this speech as well for his definition of “male heroism”. “Someone’s getting free Jameson forever,” notes Laverne.

“X-Men: First Class” and “Prometheus” star Michael Fassbender may be staying in business with 20th Century Fox, as he’s in early talks to topline Gerardo Naranjo’s romantic drama “The Mountain Between Us.”

J. Mills Goodloe’s script, based on the novel by Charles Martin, follows two strangers who survive a plane crash in the Colorado woods and are forced to rely on one another for survival, eventually falling in love.

If a deal comes together, Fassbender would play Ben Trace, a doctor and avid climber who uses his skills to transport an injured writer named Ashley down a mountain in harsh weather.
