Christian Bale: From Hottie To CRACK HEAD

The lengths Bale is willing to go thru for a movie role
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Filming continues this week on the NYC set of the new film The Fighter, which stars Christian Bale as an ex-training coach turned crack user and Marky Mark Wahlberg as an up-and-coming fighter, as new scary photos from the set continue to come out. The latest pics of Christian Bale are really very horrifying to look at … especially in comparison to how amazingly hot the man looks usually … like, for example, the way he looked in his role as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho:


Say what you will about the man’s acting abilities (after all, he wasn’t all that great in Terminator: Salvation and was only marginally improved in Public Enemies … and don’t get me started on that voice he uses in the Batman films), he really outdoes himself physically when he prepares for a role. Christian Bale looks like a bona fide crack head in this new photo:


Yikes doesn’t even seem to encapsulate my feelings on this photo. I can deffo appreciate the mans commitment to his craft but I’m very much looking forward to the wrap of this movie so that Bale can go back to lookin’ hawt again. Yeesh.

Christian Bale Slims Down Significantly For His New Film ‘The Fighter’

Method acting
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Christian Bale is an actor that is well-known for his intense commitment to getting into character when he is filming a new movie role. A few years ago, right before he donned the black cape and cowl for Batman Begins, Bale lost a significant amount of weight in order to portray a deathly thin character in his film The Machinist (incidentally, within a few months after he completed work on Machinist, he bulked up for his role in Batman). It appears that Bale is at it again. Here are a couple of photos of Christian on the set of his new film The Fighter wherein he plays a boxer turned drug addict:


Yeesh … Christian does look really gaunt and really frail. He deffo has that cracked out druggie look going for him. But, in case you’re not familiar with his film The Machinist, he slimmed down a lot more for that film:


Christian’s bone-thin appearance was not due to special effects … he actually lost all the weight to look this painfully thin for the role. You gotta respect an actor that will go to such lengths for a movie role. He looks terrible but it’s clearly the look he is going for. Yikes!
