Christian Bale Keeps Going Missing
Apparently Christian Bale is baffling co-stars Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams and others on the set of their movie 'The Fighter.' He reportedly refuses to be seen when he isn't filming.
"You only see him when
it's time for his scenes. Other than that, no one has any idea where he is. He
just goes missing."
Christian is playing crack addict Dicky Eklund, which explains his gaunt appearance.
"Christian has lost almost as
much weight as he did for ‘The Machinist’. He is so gaunt. They
have even thinned his hair - he just looks sickly."
This role must be really important to Chrisitian. After he finished 'The Machinist' he said he would not want to go through an extreme weight loss plan again.
"I wouldn't want to take it to that extreme
again. But it was necessary to lose weight for that role - not as much as I did
- but it was a challenge mentally to see if I was capable of doing such a
thing."I know that I can now, so there would need to be a
certain gimmick if I was to do that all over again. But I do like the notion of
seeing how far you can push yourself so I'm very happy that I did that.
Everybody told me that I was risking my health the first time around, so doing
it twice? I'm probably being an idiot."
Or really, really into the role :) I can't imagine doing it, myself. Christian supposedly only ate one apple and a can of tuna a day to lose weight for 'The Machinist.'
If I were living like that, I probably wouldn't want to be around anyone either except when I had to be. More importantly, no one would probably want to be around me in that state!
ETA: 'The Machinist' is a film Christian did in 2004.

Christian Bale Remained In Character For Four Months While Shooting Public Enemies
Christian Bale "freaked out" his daughter by keeping his accent for 'Public
Enemies' off set.
The British actor plays FBI officer Melvin Purvis in the 1930s gangster
film and in preparing for his role kept a strong southern accent
throughout filming.
The film's director, Michael Mann, said:
"Melvin Purvis was really a southern
gentleman. So Christian kept the accent for 24 hours a day. It freaked out
his young daughter. She said: 'Daddy doesn't talk like that!' he replied:
'Well, ah'm sorry, mah dear, but daddy's studying for a part, and ah'll be
speaking like this for the next four months.' "
Can you imagine?! LOL!
Michael also revealed that Johnny Depp - who plays the film's leading
character, outlaw John Dillinger - was more influenced by wardrobe, and one
of the most exciting parts of the production was when they got some clothes
which actually belonged to the gangster.
Michael added:
"We got to see some of Dilinger's packed suitcases, which he
had left behind after an escape, and Johnny was able to actually hold his
shirts in his hands."They still had the pink paper band around them from the Chinese laundry.
And there were more accoutrements than you'd have thought for a guy on the
run - shaving kit, talcum powder."You bet there's magic to that stuff. I'm not superstitious, but I couldn't
help it."
That must be exciting for someone to actually get to see some items that belonged to the man they are portraying in a movie. I imagine that connection would make an actor want to do justice to the part.
Where Is Christian Bale In All Public Enemy Promotion?

This morning everyone is asking why Johnny Depp is the only one showing up on all posters and published screencaps to promote his latest movie, 'Public Enemies'. Where is Christian Bale? Why is his image not being used?
Because he isn't famous enough...
Women Agree: Christian Bale Would Be A Great Summer Fling
Who cares if he has some anger issues? Over 50% of women polled over at MSN's Wonderwall agreed that Christian Bale is hotter than hot. The 'Terminator Salvation' actor beat out Robert Pattinson and Chris Pine as the celebrity with whom women would most want to have a summer fling.
- Rob Pattinson received only 21 percent of the female vote as this summer's most desired celebrity fling.
- Chris Pine received a mere 14 percent.
There were other polls to highlight as well:
- 44 percent of male respondents (ages 18-64) say they would want to have a summer fling with Megan Fox. Carrie Underwood is close behind with 38 percent.
- Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have the hottest beach bodies (44% of the vote).
- 92 percent of respondents said they would not want to see Heidi and Spencer Pratt, strut their stuff on the beach this summer.
That's funny! Who would you want to disappear for the summer??? And if you had a choice - who would be your summer fling?

Christian Bale Won't Do Another Batman Movie
Christian Bale doesn't necessarily strike me as the easiest person to work with. :) So I can't say I'm totally surprised by this decision. After finding out that 'Dark Knight' director, Chris Nolan, wouldn't be back on board for another movie in the Batman franchise, Christian says he's out too.
"Chris is in the mindset that he is unlikely to be able to top what was
achieved with Dark Knight," reveals a Hollywood insider. "He has a
number of new projects he's working on and Batman is not a priority for
him right now. Christian is unlikely to want to do another one without
Chris. He feels only he understands the dynamic of the character and so
it could well be that there will have to be a new Batman and director
if there is to be a third movie."
Hmmm...would you want the trilogy to go on without Christian in the role???

Johnny Depp Talks About His New Role
Johnny Depp's gorgeous face is about to grace the movie screen again when his new film, 'Public Enemies,' comes to theaters on July 1. Johnny plays a bank robber named John Dillinger.
'I got a sneaking suspicion that he was a very lovable character,' Johnny told Kevin [Frasier, of Entertainment Tonight] of the complexity of playing John Dillinger. 'His choice of occupation was, you know potentially questionable,' Johnny admitted, however."
Meanwhile, Christian Bale co-stars as the FBI agent who is trying to stop Dillinger.
People wanted Dillinger to get away with it, you know? The myth of him, is one that is a very charming myth."
With these two actors, you know this movie will be INTENSE! And it shouldn't be difficult to get your husband or boyfriend to go see this one ;) Do you want to see it?
You can see a clip of their Entertainment Tonight interview (atop a Chicago skyscrapter!) here.
