14 DAY TRIAL // Nothing better to make a sucky day less so than today’s proposal for Viral of the Day. Even assuming your day has been spectacular so far, this video is still not to be missed because it features 3 of the stars of the upcoming “X-Men: Days of Future Past” dancing to last year’s biggest hit.
Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, and Hugh Jackman, aka Magneto, Professor X, and Wolverine from 20th Century Fox’s May release, were in London at the end of last week, for a chat with BBC’s The Graham Norton Show on the topic of the film, when they offered to do a bit of choreographed routine.
As you can see from the video below, Jackman says that Fassbender was so stubborn on the set that he would only come out of his trailer if a certain song was played over the speakers because he couldn’t resist the temptation to dance.
Said song was Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” the same jam that was accused of “promoting” rape through its lyrics and that generated quite a controversy when the official video came out.
Norton had the song play loudly, and the three men (and good friends, from what I can gather) recreated their favorite dance.
Honestly, I doubt Fassbender only came out for shoots if his music of choice played because he always came across as one of the most professional actors in the industry. At the same time, this video is so cute and funny that this doesn’t even matter anymore. So, enjoy!
