Michael Fassbender Gave Horses Erections: Mia Wasikowska

Many, many women find star actor Michael Fassbender attractive. Apparently, so do many male horses.

Fassbender's "Jane Eyre" co-star Mia Wasikowska spoke to Movie Line about Fassbender's maddening effect on their equine co-stars, saying his good looks helped make it nearly impossible to film.

"There was a horse on the third day of filming [when] we were shooting the scene where Jane and Rochester meet, and every time Michael hopped on the horse it got a huge erection," Wasikowskia remembered. "And he'd get off and they'd run the poor thing around the block to try to make it go away, and he'd hop on it again and it would happen all over again, and they'd have to get him off and run it around."

A problem for the crew and horse trainers, but a pretty hilarious incident for the rest of the cast, one would think.

Not familiar with Fassbender's work -- or his horse-approved looks? Among other things, he stars in "Inglorious Basterds," "Jonah Hex," and "300," and along with "Jane Eyre," he'll soon be seen as Magneto in the upcoming "X-Men: First Class".

I like Fassy better than whipped cream! And that's saying something cause I am a kitten.

Consult your doctor if your horse's erections last more than four hours. If you suffer headaches, sweaty palms, a mild discharge, blurred speech or vision, a need to do karaoke, going to see Spiderman the musical, endorsing Sarah Palin for no other reasons, listening to Kim Kardashian's latest music, eating cream cheese on sardines, watch Celebrity Apprentice or Jay Leno, wear three year old thong underwear, like transvestites spreading Noxema on your genitals, and have naughty dreams of Dick Cheney smoking a cigar while you ride a donkey, please see your physician to talk about decreasing your dosage.

He probably had sex between takes and the stallion was reacting to the smell.

And after Fassbinder hit on her, Wasikowska was heard to respond condescendingly, "Once you've had Black Beauty, you'll never go back, cutie."

I can't believe I clicked on this article. So let the horse steal the scene - or is Fassbender afraid of a little stiff competition?

Are we sure the stallion wasn't reacting to Mia Wasikowska?

Maybe the stud was hot for blonds.
