Fassbenders accent in that interview on PrometheusNews, is quite heavily foreign and German...however in movies like Inglorious he has done a natural British accent, utterly convincing so why would you choose to have an accent in real life? Isn't the whole purpose of learning a language to reach naturalness?

I want to apologize on here then, and to the coming directly, for calling anyone anything on this forum. That was wrong no matter what. I apologize. On a more objective note, it is interesting that an actor would cause such a dust-up over his 'real' accent. That should be considered a tip of the hat of his acting ability, if nothing else. Maybe he is playing someone with a German accent in an upcoming film, and he is trying to adopt it also, as method actors often do. Maybe it is necessary, after immersing himself in such an artificial sounding David8 character. Or maybe that IS his native accent, and he just wanted to distance himself from being similar to his character in any way, in the real world. Maybe?

@Necrofan I only commented so that someone acknowledges your display of good character - as that should be acknowledged. Other than that, the only confusion I can see is that someone, evidently, does not know what a, natural, Irish accent sounds like - forgiveable: but, for reasons unknown, will just not be corrected - even by the Irish! Unforgiveable. With that, I turn my back on what must be considered foolishness, and I recommend you do the same.
