Fassbender to take rest of year off

Michael Fassbender is taking the rest of the year off.

The actor has starred in a prolific number of films over the past few years - including 'Jane Eyre', 'Inglourious Basterds', 'A Dangerous Method' and 'X-Men: First Class' - so has decided not to take on any more projects until 2012 because he doesn't want people to get bored of him.
