Moscow’s magnetic pull for Michael: Fassbender does the tourist thing and pops a snap or two around the Russian capital

He’s one of the biggest movie stars in the world, but when it comes to sight seeing Michael Fassbender is just like the rest of us: a goofy tourist.

The 37-year-old actor was spotted taking in the beauties of Russia’s capital city on Friday, just days after walking the red carpet at the Moscow premiere of his latest film X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Dressed smartly in a pair of black dress shoes, jeans, a white shirt and crisp black suit jacket, the Irish star was indistinguishable from any other tourist.

As he walked around the picturesque Red Square accompanied by several security guards, Fassbender didn’t hesitate to crouch down and take the odd snap.

It was a decidedly upbeat side of the Oscar-nominated performer, who is best known for taking on dark and dramatic roles – such as that of mutant leader Magneto in the X-Men franchise.

The actor plays a younger version of the character in the two most recent installments in the franchise, with the role previously being filled by Sir Ian McKellan.

Actors Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender reportedly danced around to "Blurred Lines" in between takes for X-Men: Days of Future Past.

The 45-year-old actor told The Sun, "Michael was particularly enamored with the video to "Blurred Lines"."

He added, "We'd strut about. I used to play the song in between takes on the X-Men set. It was a lot of fun. Everyone would just go into character and we'd be strutting around. It was identical to the video but we'd be mutants."

It wasn't just dancing either, Jackman added that they would sing along to the huge Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams hit, "I didn't need to take the high bits. You'd be surprised what talented singers Michael and James [McEvoy] are. They could get up there."
