Deflating Tender and Near-Drowning
They had already taken their little tender boat out to the main boat when it started deflating as they were heading out. "We just made it back, but that thing sort of sunk and we were laughing about it," Fassbender said. The situation became dangerous as the storm worsened during the boat trip, but there was some comical relief.Plates and everything were flying as they set off on the boat. They had to lock stuff down, but ABBA was blasting. Fassbender was hanging onto the boat, pretending to ride with the waves and quoting the song lyrics, "It was like, 'You can dance / You can jive / Having the time of your life.'" He quipped, "If we have to die tonight, this is a good soundtrack to die to."
