Fassbender's enthusiasm for ABBA: A nightly boat experience!

Ibiza, Spanien - Hollywood star Michael Fassbender, known from films such as "Steve Jobs" and "X-Men", reported in a conversation about his newly discovered appreciation for the music of the Swedish band Abba. In Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show", the 47-year-old revealed that he never really liked Abba before. This attitude changed dramatically during a stormy boat trip to Ibiza, where he felt like he was on the way to the downfall. "I thought: If we had to die tonight, it is a good soundtrack to die," noted Fassbender when the classic hit "Dancing Queen" played in the background. "I carefully clung to the boat and Abba-and I finally understood Abba," he said, as reported.

Fassbender, which was accompanied on the rocking boat by plate and dishes, experienced unexpected enlightenment at that moment. He lively described how his perception of the band changed during this stormy situation. "I never really liked Abba," he confessed, which makes his sudden enthusiasm seem all the more remarkable. The actor emphasized that in the middle of these chaotic circumstances, Abba's music achieved a special meaning for him, which in turn reflects the power of music, even in the most desperate moments, as well as Spiegel.de
