Imagine walking past Christian Bale and not recognizing him! 😮 TV presenter’s hilarious mix-up reveals the actor’s jaw-dropping transformation
Christian Bale is famous for changing his appearance a lot in movies. He’s so good at it that sometimes people don’t even recognize him, even when they’re about to interview him.
In 2004, he lost a lot of weight for a movie called The Machinist, going down to 120 pounds. Then he got big and muscular for Batman Begins and its sequels.
He also changed his weight for other movies like Rescue Dawn, The Fighter, and American Hustle. In 2018, he played Dick Cheney and gained a lot of weight to look like him.
Once, a TV host named Gayle King didn’t recognize him backstage. She had to be told where he was because he looked so different. She thought he wasn’t there until someone pointed him out.
Bale explained he had gained weight for his role as Cheney, but it was hard on his health. He joked about how he used to lose weight by smoking and drinking, but now he’s older and needs to be smarter about it.
Gayle King joked about a weight loss program, and Bale might have considered it. Later, he lost weight again for another movie.
