On Mia:You’ve embodied two very famous characters: Alice, in Alice in Wonderland, and now Jane Eyre. Was it difficult to play such icons?
Alice is beloved, so that was a responsibility. I did about five auditions for Alice before I got the role.
Did you have to wear a corset as Alice?
Yes—for two scenes, and it was very painful. But now, having done Jane Eyre, I realize the Alice corsets were sissy corsets. The corsets I wore in Jane Eyre were incredibly painful. Ballet hurts, but it’s more like your feet are killing you. With a corset on, you can’t breathe properly.
But does wearing the proper costume help you get in character?
Absolutely. It’s the last piece of the puzzle. Once you get in the costume, it’s like, Okay, this is who this person is. With Jane Eyre the corset helped me understand the repression and pain of the character.

On Michael :You are very young to play Rochester in Jane Eyre. Did you love the book? Or were you just intrigued by the part?
I’m probably 10 years too young for Rochester, so I went for a Byronic sort of hero. I didn’t read Jane Eyre in school, but my mother and sister were always talking about it, and that was a big reason why I did it. I didn’t have a preconceived idea of Rochester—I just saw him as encapsulating so many interesting elements: a shady past, intelligent, self-destructive, destructive, passionate. And he has a terrible secret. I’m curious to see what my mother and sister think of my Rochester.
You just finished portraying a superhero, Magneto, in X-Men: First Class. What is your superpower?
I can manipulate metal. I practiced every day with a spoon in my kitchen. I did my Uri Geller.
Were you raised Catholic?
I was. I was head altar boy.

Berpasangan di film terbaru Mia, Jane Eyre, Michael Fassbender dijamin akan menjadi semakin terkenal terlebih atas perannya sebagai Magneto di X-Men First Class. Kedua pasangan ini memiliki chemistry yang pas di depan kamera, akankah chemistry itu terbawa sampai ke dunia nyata? Well, who knows but i do know that these picture looks fabulous.
