It's crazy how rare it is to hear his real voice.
-
It's crazy because Christian is so good that sometimes I even forget hes British because the American accent he has down is literally perfect.
-
The way Christian Bale completely understands the satire of American Psycho is so refreshing cause often actors never comment on the actual message of their films, in fact they avoid it. Especially if it's a movie like that one.
-
That story about him continuing to prepare for American Psycho despite other people being cast etc is amazing lool
-
It's amazing he gained 400 000 kg for his role as the sandworm in Dune. Mad respect
-
There are actors like Dwayne Johnson, who is Dwayne Johnson in every movie, and then there are actors like Christian Bale, who becomes the character in every movie. This is the type of actor I admire and respect.
-
Christian Bale's Batman is my absolute favorite.
-
Just met Christian Bale today. He is extremely humble and he’s a great tipper
-
Christian Bale‘s physical and psychological dedication to depict his characters as convincing as possible makes him one of the greatest movie stars ever
-
Now let's see Paul Allen breaks down his most iconic characters
-
The back story behind American Psycho is like so many other incredible films that have been made where they shouldn’t have been made but somehow someway it came to be the exact way it was meant. Beautiful
-
Truly one of the greatest actors ever. Dude is fantastic in all his roles Alfred Borden in The Prestigues would always be my favorite Bale performances. He was glorious on that one
-
Christian Bale himself is an iconic character. He’ll definitely go down in history as one of the all time greats.
-
His role as Laurie in Little Women needs more mentions! 🤍
-
His knowledge and understanding of movies and who he is as an actor is really respectable to the fact he’s willing to be that committed
-
He is definitely one of the best actors to ever grace the film industry.
-
He’s an absolute chameleon. The fact that he can morph his body and voice and make it seem effortless is a joy to watch. Even when he’s in a bad film, he’s not one of the reasons it’s bad.
-
How is “3:10 To Yuma” not apart of his most iconic rolls!? That was one of the greatest movies I ever watched.
-
I loved him in Equilibrium! Such a brilliant film, great story, great fight scenes, and Taye Diggs was brilliant as well!
-
Christian Bale does such a convincing American Accent. Genuinely didn't know he was British till I first heard is voice, and hearing it side by side here is absolutely incredible. He's got a thick British accent and yet he can do a somewhat light American accent. Great actor.
