Fassbender living it large with Hollywood’s ‘big’ stars

George Clooney’s quip about the Kerry actor’s manhood sees the Irishman join a long line of well-endowed leading men, says Ed Power

Being ‘big’ in Hollywood acquired a new meaning at the weekend as George Clooney used his Golden Globes acceptance speech to quip about the size of Irish movie star Michael Fassbender’s manhood. The reference was to Fassbender’s naked scenes in sex-addiction drama Shame.

“I would like to thank Michael Fassbender for taking over the frontal nude responsibility that I had,” said Clooney, who beat the Killarney native in winning best actor gong. “Really Michael, honestly, you can play golf like this with your hands behind your back. Go for it man, do it.”
