"To be honest, relationships as a whole for me in this industry have been a difficult thing to maintain," Bang Showbiz quotes him as saying.

"It goes with the territory. I would be prepared to walk away from relationships because of my job. I wanted to give this everything and go for it 110%, so I guess my work has taken precedence over that."

Fassbender revealed that he has even sought relationship counselling with a former girlfriend.

"It was something I thought I would try out," he said. "And I do think it's a very helpful process, if there is an improvement at the end of it."

Fassbender recently described Shame, in which he plays a sex addict, as "definitely the hardest job [he's] done".
