Apparently (true story) he gained the weight because his research indicated that birds eat worms. His first thought? A bird couldn't possibly eat a 400 000kg worm! When Christian arrived on set, he was surprised and slightly disheartened that there were no birds to be found. Undeterred, Mr. Bale proceeded to give a performance of a lifetime (which, in worm-years, is up to nine years).

Christian Bale is one of my favorite actors of all time because of how committed he is in his roles and the methods he uses to portray his characters. Even going to great lengths to match the physical look of the character he is playing.

So inspiring. As an actor, and as a musician, I agree, music helps shape a character. LOVE

A great man Edit: folks commenting under this noting how he’s already extremely wealthy and probably lived in a mansion at the time he made that film. Well I don’t know Christian Bale personally but my OG comment was describing his character. Wanting to pay off a $100k house or a $10m house…. It all boils down to the same principle: taking responsibility for what’s important.

I love that Christian acknowledges and cherishes the fact that he will probably be remembered as Batman by most people despite being an actor of his caliber. I believe that, as he said, he was able to rise above that and be recognized for more than just that one role, but The Dark Knight trilogy is legendary and should be remembered as such.

He kept preparing for the role in “American psycho” even after they gave it to other people, that’s law of attraction right there. What a dedicated man.

My suspicion is that, whenever they skip an obvious movie, it's because the actor didn't want to talk about it. Which is understandable, I'm sure not every film shoot goes smoothly, with the actor getting along with everybody, loving their co-stars and directors etc. Which makes these videos kinda dishonest in a way, cos all we ever hear about is the ones that went well. But hearing actors say nice things about each other is nicer than gossip, so I don't mind.

Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength.

He is such a likable person, and getting better every time. His performance in le Mans is captivating

This guys 48 years old yet he makes himself look 60 and If he wanted could look like he’s in his 30s again. What a legend.
