He has since made his way back to the land of Hollywood by starring in the thriller,The Killer,and will next be seen in the sports comedyNext Goal Wins. However, prior to this, he was busy enjoying his obsession with the sport of motor racing.
The actor recently appeared onThe Graham Norton Show, (viaThe Daily Mail) and stated,
“It’s an obsession and feels so right as I have no affinity with any other sport. I am super addicted, and I want to go back and do Le Mans again – it was extraordinary.”
Although it is not Formula Racing but rather Endurance Racing, he enjoys the activity greatly. He also revealed that he had always wanted to race, but never thought he’d be racing in real cars but rather go-karts.

Although Michael Fassbender is done with motor racing as it was last season, he holds great love for the sport. While onThe Graham Norton Showhe revealed the real reason why he enjoys the sport so much,
“It’s not the speed necessarily… In the beginning, it feels fast but when you get in the car then you just adjust… it’s just nice to get into a place where you’re just not thinking.”
Despite having had many accidents, the actor wasn’t deterred by them or the risks associated with the sport. Instead, he maintains that the gradual process of picking up speed and not having anything else to think or focus on made him feel love the sport.
Well, now the actor is back to acting with his latest movie,The Killer, which now is available to be streamed on Netflix.
