Michael Fassbender thinks he's too "selfish" for a relationship.

The actor has seen his profile rise in Hollywood thanks to roles in X-Men: First Class, A Dangerous Method and Shame.

Michael is worried that his hectic film career would get in the way of a romance.

"It's very difficult to maintain a relationship doing this kind of job. I know people do manage to maintain marriages and relationships within it, but I'm pretty selfish in terms of how I work and the time I take," he told the UK version of OK! magazine.

Michael would want to give his all to a relationship if he did find the right woman.

However, he rarely even gets to spend time with his friends and family so fears he would struggle to fully commit.

"I disappear, I don't see my friends for like four weeks or very seldomly I see them, so it's not fair on a partner when you're not there and investing and giving them something to sort of work with," he added.

"At the moment, I'm concentrating on work."
