Fassbender: Training for ‘300’ made me physically ill

Michael Fassbender has told how his infamous training regime to turn into a muscle-bound Spartan for the film 300 used to make him feel physically ill.

The Kerry actor is known for going to great lengths to prepare for his onscreen roles in a string of critically acclaimed films.

He lost 40 pounds to take on the role of Bobby Sands in Hunger, but he told the Graham Norton Show how his action hero roles are the most physically demanding.
