Despite Michael Fassbender's humble assertion that he looks too old to play James Bond — "Well, look at me! I look about 50!" — I must politely disagree. Oh, we're looking, and I have a hard time believing that any woman (or man) could resist the hot Irish-German actor's sex appeal as the franchise's leaving man. Sarah Paulson knows what we're talking about:

"He just looks at you, and you want to take your clothes off."

If that doesn't make a good Bond, I don't know what does. There are many, many reasons Michael Fassbender is a grade-A stud muffin, including his talent, looks, and sense of humour. But let's explore what it is about him that really reels you in, that je ne sais quoi. We'll be over here fanning ourselves.
