Michael Fassbender has treated his wife Alicia Vikander to a trip to Sweden so she could celebrate her birthday with her family.

The Kerry actor took care of all the Covid-19 testing requirements so that Oscar winner Vikander could head home and celebrate her 32nd birthday in her native Stockholm.

Alicia, whose birthday was on Saturday, said: "My husband surprised me with a trip to Sweden. I landed, got a Covid test and it was negative, so I was able to hang out with my mum and my dad and a lot of family members I haven't seen in a long time."

Vikander and Fassbender - who married in an intimate ceremony in Ibiza in 2017 - have been under lockdown in France, where The Danish Girl star has been perfecting her bread-making skills.

"It's very satisfying," says Vikander. "You feel like you're kinda getting in contact with your ancestors - being able to bake bread from flour and water."
