He may have been snubbed by the Oscars, but it looks Michael Fassbender still got a prize from working on the sex addiction movie Shame.

The hunky Irish actor was spotted with his arm around his costar, Nicole Beharie, as the duo made their way through the streets of New York City on Thursday.

Is this the beginning of Hollywood’s next It couple? We don’t know – but we’re jealous either way!

Michael will next appear on the big screen in Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel Prometheus, opposite Charlize Theron. Nicole recently appeared on episodes of Law and Order: SVU and The Good Wife.

What do you think? Do they make a good couple? Sound off in the comments!
