Vikander didn't speak to Fassbender when they first met

Actor Alicia Vikander says when she first crossed paths with her husband Micheal Fassbender, they did not speak but ended up dancing together.

The 29-year-old actor said the duo met at events such as the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014 and again after the BAFTA Awards shortly afterwards that they did not get a chance to talk.

"The first two times we met, we didn't chat, we only danced," Vikander told Britain's ELLE magazine.

The Swedish actor, who recently moved to Lisbon with 40-year-old Fassbender, said they had discussed living in the Portuguese capital in their first meeting.

"When I met my husband three and a half years ago, he had mentioned he'd been to Lisbon and loved it, and I knew friends who were moving out there. And that was a time when I was just starting to feel really at home in London, but after Brexit I think I was like, 'Meh, you know what, I want to stay in Europe'," Vikander said.
