christian bale is famous for going above & beyond to become the character he is portraying. the 35-year-old – who famously dropped 63 lbs for his role in “the machinist” – obviously takes his work very seriously.
soon after the 63 lb-plunge, bale bulked up significantly for “batman begins.” critics have sometimes embraced the method actor for his commitment, while others have expressed concern over the trauma he puts his body (and mind) through. but it doesn’t look like he cares about the critiques. bale was spotted in boston on monday, looking unhealthily thin.
for a role? of course. bale is shooting scenes for his role in the upcoming flick ‘the fighter.’ he stars as boxer dicky eklund, a welterweight boxer turned trainer turned drug addict. maybe its the makeup, maybe its the thinning hair, but bale really seems to be pulling out all the stops on this one. let’s just say he achieved the heroin-chic look he was going for. congrats?
