Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy's fan art romance - The Graham Norton Show - BBC 

That pretty damn accurate description! I can say this from personal experience of being an avid fanfiction fanatic over the years. Never a dull moment.

Captain Complicated or my favourite line, about half way through this video "don't do this to me- *laughter*"

funnest part for me is that these are not even close to the strangest descriptions I've read

And smutty

Morgan Hairston why do people like you even have the internet? Dumb as fuck....

Perfect Blue (1997)

True!

me getting into fanfiction creation

literally me rn

I LIVE for that sentences

Same here XD

And then, James made the "What the f***?" gesture w/ his arms. Big-time lol.

I legit read this as they said it😱😂

Same xD

Relatable I swear

I suddenly pictured James McAvoy as James Bond when he said that.

Cringe

@Flightof2Owls omg i forgot i even made this comment lmfao 💀💀 i’m pretty sure it was a meme at that time it’s nothing literal 🤠

And then, he made me want cupcakes.

Adam Stringer I am suprised James McAvoy called them cupcakes coz in Scotland we call the fairy cakes.

+Gary Mcatear I was thinkin' the same mate, I'm thinking the word appeared in his head and as he got to about the 'I' he thought better of it. "You've never made me fai... cupcakes!"

Adam Stringer he is an actor, isn't he?

Adam Stringer who'd be the wife in that case? 😉

+Cory Sapienza He definitely ships them too lol

+GracieEvilPanda yes. he's one of us.

Wait till he finds the Valvert tag...

he was totally fanboying 😂

YAAASSS

After that, finally Michael made him cupecakes, I'm sure! (?)

NachanOca Hopefully x3

***** Yes! :'D

And took his cherry 🍒

Well his portrayal of Charles has always exuded bottom energy.

James is a switch but Charles totally a bottom

Exactly 😂

no one can

@@brunelaajalla1571 How many internet points does that translate to?

And now 10 years later the fans are doing similar Fanart of him and deadpool just like Erick and Charles HAHHA

and it ended with the Australian telling the other two to go f*ck yourself.

nostalgiatrip1 xD

And steals an entire movie in the process

nostalgiatrip1 And walked out like they'd rather fuck themselves than with the Wolverine.

...and I have an instant orgasm.

AHAHAH he's totally doing that

But bottom James McAvoy still rules tho

James McAvoy definitely tops 😄

I know!!! And those accents... all three of them!

Pringle Prangle kudos to fassbander. best looking actor in Hollywood

+Pringle Prangle If you're really interested, you can probably purchase it at an Ikea

***** Hahahahahahahahaha!

+Then It said LMAO!

He totally did.

A total top and Michael wasn't mad about it lol

Now I'm making fan fictions in my head.. lol

I can sense the fanfic authors revving up their engines to write already

Yes He did! OMG the Fantasies!!

MissPumpkin91 2 years late lol but Ive been replaying this numerous times and I just dont get the joke :/ can you please explain it to me? Thanks :)

Hi, well my engilsh is not very good but i'll try to explain. He's saying that "if anybody is giving" like "if anybody is the active one on the relationship" refering to the one who... how do i say it... put the gun in the hole, is gonna be him and Michael will be reciving it... something like that.

Oh okay :) makes sense. Thanks!

Big d**k energy

Oh Professor! XDDDD Still so classy when telling the whole world about the bed time stuff with his man sitting right next to him XDDDDD

may be a little uncomfy, but still... above and beyond with the sportsmanship

@@iWantToBelieve... Oh well la-di-da. Who made you watch? Who made you the moral guardian of the internet? It's called freedom of expression and fan *art*. You don't want it, fine. You don't like it, also fine. But what's not is you moaning like an entitled little brat☝🏽 It's called fiction for a reason. Only idiots like you bring in the families and real life issues into it ☝🏽

@@suzawilo fiction??? These are real people 😨 like is so weird when people decide oh let’s ship actual people together like ew no stop

@@roachesonly3072 Agreed. I spend a good chunk of my spare time reading fanfic (ao3 is where the true quality is at), and I have personal favorites when it comes to ships. However, I draw the line at shipping real people. I ship Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee like Fedex; I do not, however, ship Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. I don't know about you, but if I were a famous actor I personally would feel a bit uncomfortable with the knowledge that there are people out there writing porny slash fic about me and that one other actor I shared the screen with once but am not acquainted with off the set.

@@AndiLang8146 omg yessss, i agree with you, 100%. I think the best example here, in my case, would be Cherik. I ship them and I like reading fics and watching edits about them but shipping Michael and James as real people is a bit too much, or idk same with alec and magnus from shadowhunters

Marisol Molina yeah

graham had the "oh no what is he going to say" face for a second lol

Sweet creature Jimin OMG ARMY EVERYWHERE😂 Love u fam❤️

Sweet Creature Jimin OMG SAME

Sweet creature Jimin yessss! Usually I don't like the Scottish accent much but his is damn sexy! Lol

+katingles where is it? I might have missed it

+姚澜 at 1:40 :)

tmbzizu Pardon..but what does that mean?

+姚澜 he basically says that he should be behind michael and not the other way around :)

tmbzizu Hahahahaha this is golden, thank you

I know how you feel. These guys never fail to put me in stitches. So super-funny.

Pizza Leah here's some toilet paper. gentle strokes.

***** Uh..."gentle strokes" might not be the best phrase to use when/if you ever meet them. Knowing their senses of humor, they'll likely make a dirty joke out of it.

James has been there - check out "Filth" - great film

They’re actors, these were made by fans and this was great material for creating buzz for their upcoming movie at the time.

Ummm idk, I feel that they're trying to act cool with these gay versions of them but it's evident how uncomfortable James is

@@沈啍 Oh don't be so cynical.

@@Adriana-pd1ij 1:05 James says "don't do this to us." They were both very good sports though

+Mysterious Chocolate Chip Don't I did too lol. I pretty much live on that site lol

Oh Godddd. That particular fanfiction site has so much plot what plot? scenarios (u should know what it means)

+INDIGO BLUEoO archiveofourown is THE best bloody site out there imo

Mysterious Chocolate Chip I prefer fanfic.net Ao3 has quite a number of porn, mpreg, m/m... I try to avoid going there since I enjoy adventure based stories rather relationships.

+Mysterious Chocolate Chip Not to mention ❤Destiel,❤Stucky,etc....😀

YES!

+Allie Kitaguchi At least it was pg fan arts, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman got to see the NC18 fan arts... i'd have loved Graham to show some of these to james and Michael, just to see their reactions xDDD

YESSS

+Omar Onn In this case, "ship" is short for relationship. If you really like the idea of two people or characters being together romantically, you "ship" them. The people who've made this artwork clearly ship Michael and James. Get it?

+Allison Kitaguchi I love it!!! Actors are always told to steer clear of the creepy fan fiction. But this is an awesome way to expose them all to the truth XD

+MyLifeAsLouis The colonies are rowdy tonight.

fassbender is half irish half German

+Nile Hough he was an Irish citizen which means he counts

+Teddy Gallagher fair enough haha is he from northern Ireland??

Nile Hough nah county Kerry my neighbour county part of the republic

😂😂right!

ikr, thats like a chapter!!!!

Right?!

+FullmetalandtheFlame I remember seeing a Superman fic on fanfiction.net once, which was 1mil+ words. Your comment has definitely put a perspective on that for me 😂

I was just thinking that. There is probably endless fanfic with Jackman in the center

.. you are scaring me.. I'm thinking about actually googling it..

,

They're such good sports. It's part of what makes them so easy to love.

Crept out hHahahaha

I'm sure they got a heads up about what the show was going to be about. No pun intended.

i mean from their expressions they seem creeped out alright

me toooo

+Marissa López there's nothing wrong with it either haha 😂😆

+Clara Skye/Daisy Nora Oswald Johnson hildergard not at all haha omg I just love HIS accent 😍

+Marissa López same !! I'm in love !! you seen X men apocolpyse yet? Cause I'll tell you this he looks great bald 😍

I guess he thought it was gonna be worse... like Looki pool dancer? that was a killer XD

What do you write, link please

Thanks

When I saw AO3 I panicked, even tho I havent posted anything 😭🤚🏼

You people are so damn creepy.

"so I'm taking your cherry?" pffftt

+Michelle Bernal Don't we all.

+Johnny R for them, yes ;)

I wouldn't be able to contain myself long enough, I'd be moving around alot and SWEATING.

the shorts always get to be like that In yaoi ships 😂

yessss! that's why i love it as well! brilliant.

It would be a bit awkward protesting gay images in front of Graham Norton, though they are obviously very good friends and entertained by the imagination of these artists and writers.

Adam Stringer Good point you're making. Still, I could imagine other actors (who are deep in the closet and/or afraid of their "manly" image being tarnished) saying something like: "isn't there any fan fiction about me and ... (whoever is the leading lady of the movie)?" You know, just to assure everyone watching in a fun and casual way that they are absolutely positively definitely heterosexual.

Tripti Thakur I'm with you! I also don't think they have an issue. But more importantly they SHOW that they don't have an issue. I think that sends a very important message to everybody watching. (And I'm going to have to look up those bits you mention :-D )

I think both Michael and James are both not homophobic. James have been known to make gay innuendos, like in a panel of the Frankenstein film (Comic Con or something) where he made jokes about him and Daniel Radcliffe. I find that many heterosexual people who aren't homophobic and who are secure in their sexuality wouldn't mind this sort of jokes. Also, James is really really cheeky, so.

I'd rather they found AO3 than Wattpad Then again maybe not... AO3 has more off the wall kinky fanfics D:

@@stvltiloqvent But WattPad has some really crap writing. I stopped using the site because the stories were so embarrassingly bad

Bookworm51485 Wattpad is begginer stuff, AO3 is advanced and FanFiction is veteran.

@@Bookworm51485 and unfortunately, wattpad fics get published as books.

Like threesome?

+Halim Boy exactly like a threesome

+DeafeatingPain Yesssssss😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

+Hannah B we all did , you know before those sites like archive of our own , fanfiction , and live journal were a just unique interset between fanfictions writers and the ones who seek to read fanfiction, but apparrently these sites had became famous as a place for people to unleash their creativity and imaginations , you could say they are almost famous as youtube and fb since they have millions stories in there . and of course since the fanfictions related to movies and series , then tv programs hosts take it as advantage to create a new section in their programs , who would knows that fanfictions and fan arts one day will be helpful to them, tv stars eventually knew what going on behind their backs and what the fans are cooking . so yeah those sites are world wildly known especially after apppearing on the norton show. the same for fan arts. whome ever created those sites , i don't think they expected this kind of sucess.

You're a killjoy, so you're forgiven.

nope 😂

no, because ao3 is one of the most well known ffn sites

Hannah TheFallenKilljoy same

+ian “naion” pirrall wnat does thneed mean? I didn't get joke about scarfs and I'm super curious

Na, its just a really shitty scarf. No kink, i'm afraid

I thought of the same thing!!!

I mean... all you need is a thneed.

I went and looked it up on Archive of Our Own. It's just... a poorly-knit scarf. Haha.

***** really? Wow i didn't know that. 😂

+Edeline Kasen Villanueva you didn't know he was Irish? come on.

Octavian Caesar Hourigan Nope.

Graham is Irish, Michael is Irish-German

No englishmen, Graham and Michael are both Irish

Randall Miguel Michael made him a cripple.

Maybe Magneto will give Charles a pity ride for crippling him.

Randall Miguel oooooohhhhh savage!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

OOOOOH ROASTED XD EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

Haha

He almost jumped into his lap when scarfs were mentioned.

Pam Itkins "I do think I also look a bit, like, 'That it? Again?'."

Indeed.

I wouldn't hold him against him if it was

I'll bet he's the one that writes and draws them.

Freeman Trash I'm pretty sure graham prolly wrote the fanfiction

Freeman Trash It's definitely mine XD

***** well, we don't know James's "size" yet so who knows if Michael's bigger lol

***** If you know gay people you'd know that body size does not determine sexual positions.

There is nothing wrong with being a bottom, just some men are too proud to admit it....as if it makes them a lesser man... During first Class James actually said he was bending over for 7 months while they made First Class, then he laughed with Michael... so it's not just because he looks cute that is why people assume he is a bottom. Also Michael seems like an aggressive top....

@@alexiz0013 Didn't he do full frontal in "The Last King of Scotland" at one point? I seem to remember him showing the full Monty in one scene and being impressive. Not Fassmember impressive but impressive.

He gets better with each passing year.

Right lol Some of this was difficult just to watch. I guess you really do have to be able to roll with the punches if youre gonna be in the public eye.

its how you know you are good friends; when you can hear and see this stuff and laugh it off

Thank god they were able to like it OR act like they like it infront of tv. If u think ppl or actors find these creepy or disgusting, multiple 3 times the cringe feeling the fans that love these actually feels.

True. That's why I'm not a fan of RPF. Give me fictional characters any day

@@Bookworm51485 right? I can't stand to read RPF, it always feels so disrespectful of the actors. Just go for the fictional characters, it feels way less stalker-ish.

+akiheavenly6 I don't feel offended, but seriously, I feel so embarrassed just seeing this, and this isn't me in these illustrations and stories. The fact that they didn't cring, shift uncomftarbly or hide their faces in their hands but actually took it in stride and good humor is quite amazing to me. It's one thing to joke about it, and another to actually see image of yourself in compromising position with your colleague... I don't think I would have handled it very well, but these two managed greatly. Amazing.

FrozenVolcano Oh I'm sure that their minds totally went there when acting out those -gay- bromance scenes. They are grown men; it's naive of us to think that they have pure minds and didn't sense the homoerotic tension between Eric and Charles when they read the script. James thought it was totally gay and joked about him and Michael having sex in 3 interviews. Those two have already imagined them having sex so these fan arts wouldn't surprise them one bit.

akiheavenly6 Maybe you are right. I don't know. I didn't think about this way. Maybe I'm just too sensitive about these things, I don't know.

+FrozenVolcano some people have a practically mechanized/weaponized sense of humor which is good for them but doesn't take away from the fact this stuff is still creepy and embarrassing

jesse kl It's the same like slapstick humour where we watch people go through painful situations for laughs. This form of humour may not be to everyone's liking, but it is humour; dark British humour.

+Alice Martine I don't quite get what's funny about what James said

姚澜 He said that he thinks that whoever is creating the artwork is great - but if anyone is going to be 'giving' it in this relationship that has been created by fans then he thinks that its himself so thats why its funny because the host thought that he was offend by someone insinuating that he was gay so yeah its pretty funny.

Alice Martine oh thank you. does James mean "wrong position"??

+姚澜 basically yes

From what I know, they asked permission only from fanartists but not from fanwriters

FulLazinessAlchemist in GN's defense...he didn't read the whole fic, he only read the intro/summary, which i believe is open for anyone to read out loud?

Hannah Koh Some of them are offended anyway, because these works are meant to be for a certain kind of public (From fangirl to fangirl). A request would have been more respectful

FulLazinessAlchemist They asked the fanwriter, it's in the comment section. There was a formally worded letter asking the writer if they could read out the summary on their show and for the writer to reply to their email. Plus when people came to her about it she said she knew and she was enthusiastic about it. So I dunno about the fanartists [I hope so!] but that particular fan writer gave permission.

Billie4Mozzarella They asked only to the first author, but not from the others because they read only the summaries. They should have asked them anyway, in my opinion

"what color!?" Lol

Pretty sure he has to get the artist permission. Some artist don't mind.

teh .aynes Oh, yeah, I mean, it's not about the permission (I'm sure they did ask it), it's more about famous people having a peek of our ~fandom world~. It's kinda weird. Not bad, just weird.

Have I got to feel strange because I actually know three of those fanfics? Wow, I didn't think, that I'm so deep in it?!

teh .aynes They actually don't get their permission.
