Alicia Vikander has opened up about the process of having her first child with Michael Fassbender, with whom she decided not to give many details about him. She has said that it was not the first time that she had tried to have it, and that previously there had been a miscarriage that she found very painful.
Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender have been married since 2017, when they celebrated their wedding in a private wedding in Ibiza. They had known each other since 2014, when they met on the set of the drama 'The Light of the Oceans', and one of the most discreet relationships in Hollywood began.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, the 'Tomb Raider' actress recalled what it was like to meet her current husband, mentioning a situation "so extreme and painful" that now it makes her see it differently: "It reminds me of that movie , it makes another sense right now."
And it is that, according to her, she has revealed, after 'The light of the oceans', the actress ended up experiencing the same situation that her character was going through. She talks about miscarriages, something she later unfortunately experienced: "Now we have a child, but it took time."
She is referring to her first child, which she had last year with Michael Fassbender after a "painful to go through" miscarriage she suffered on her first attempt at being a mother. In the interview, she also reflected on what it is like to go through situations like this in her profession, being a public figure.
"Sometimes you go through things like this, and if you have an office job you can take a step back and walk away a bit," she has commented. "But when my colleagues and I have been through some difficult situation, I do not understand how you can step on a red carpet being in the middle of things like that. Respond politely to people when they ask you how you are. Many people could not step foot outside From home".
This last reflection is something that his new series also deals with, just as in 'The light of the oceans' he played a natural abortion, a theme that returns in his new fiction, 'Irma Vep', which he is presenting now, and which is now available on HBO.
In it you can see him in the role of a pop star who suffers a miscarriage, which makes him distance himself from public life when they tell him that she must continue acting.
