When Mia gave Michael Fassbender that "look" in The Globe and Mail

In the Toronto paper The Globe and Mail, Johanna Schneller in her column "Fame Game" recounts meeting with Jane Eyre star Michael Fassbender in New York City just before Valentine's Day--a "gorgeous man beside me - tousle-haired, sleepy-eyed, barefoot - was just finishing a room-service breakfast of oatmeal and tea." But if she felt/hoped that Mr. Fassbender might toss her that "look," Fassbender got it from his co-star Mia Wasikowska during shooting Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre.

The scene where Jane tells Rochester she's leaving took seven hours to film. "I remember looking into Mia's eyes all that time," Fassbender said, "and thinking, 'Oh my God, that's what it looked like.' I recognized the look from breaking up with girlfriends. I could see all of that in her eyes. And that was when the camera was on me. So I tried to do the same for her. It's those little moments where you go somewhere else, where acting is at its best. But they're rare."
