TMI! Michael Fassbender recalled an anecdote about a horse on set of his 2011 film Jane Eyre on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Nov. 6.

“Well, he used to get quite aroused whenever I got on his back,” the X-Men actor, 38, said. “So, Dan the horse handler had to get on it and sort of, you know, canter him or give him a little trot so he’d sort of slap off his… retract it back and then he was good to go,” he joked.
