This is a picture of Christian Bale on the set of his new movie, The Fighter (via JustJared). YOINKS. As you can see, he’s lost a lot of weight like that other time he lost a lot of weight, but this time he has also had his hair thinned out. You know, acting!
But also, how bad is he wishing he had saved that melt down for now? Terminator: Salvation was such a stupid Nickelback video. The whole argument that he was an artist who got too caught up in his art, it’s just like, huh? Which art? The art of screaming into a walkie talkie about robots? Oh right, that art. I don’t know anything about The Fighter, but I am pretty sure he’s already got a better leg to stand on here. A better, pale white, atrophied leg, covered in what appears to be stone washed denim. To stand on.
“AM I GOING TO WALK AROUND AND RIP YOUR FUCKING COKE ZERO AND SALTINES DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCENE? AH DAH DE DAH!”
Besides, now he is allowed to be grumpy, because of how hard he is acting (acting=not eating). “I WANT YOU OFF THE FUCKING…THE FUCKING…OH I NEED TO SIT DOWN…YOU PRICK!” When Christian Bale finishes building his time machine he’s going to go back and KILL HITLER and then he is going to put that old freak out in his pocket for later. Freak out and a bagel.

judging from that picture, the Fighter must be about a 90′s alt-grunge band reuniting 20 years later because they’re all broke.
“in what appears to be stone washed denim.” I was about to say…what’s with the Slater jeans? I bet his shirt’s hiding an elastic waistband.

Uh yeh, that elastic waistband thing is a reference to the hilarious acid washed jeans the character Slater on Saved By The Bell wore. They had elastic waistbands which he tucked his hawaiian shirts into. Sheesh what is it with Cult Of Bale. He’s does some good stuff but he’s done some shit too. Get over it.
Tanya,
The point is over there, you missed it by about ten feet.
TANYA, i didn’t even see that YOU ARE A CHILD AND CANNOT COMMENT LIKE AN ADULT, so I would just like to let you know that I replied to your 23094 ITERATION OF THIS COMMENT down below.
BLLAAAHHH, I hate method acting. Method acting is like that weird douche you’re kind-of-but-not-really friends with who mixes up all of the grossest shit in the lunchroom and asks everyone of they want to bet that he can’t drink it all. No one asks you to do it and it’s completely unneccesary and you just look like an idoit doing it.
i like christian bale, and i feel hes one of the only actors whos works i continually enjoy, sans terminator obv
he’s really, really good at being intense.
i’m hoping for more range though, you know?
being intense in different era’s costumes isn’t enough for me anymore, cb.
This is also being filmed in my neighborhood, though I’m not as excited about it as I was about The Invention of Lying.
I need you to do something for me. Write this down. Print it out. Whatever it takes. Go to the set in your neighborhood and hang out for however many hours it takes for you to see Bale alone. Approach him. Maybe make some small talk to put him at ease, like, “Hey, Mr. Bale, your thinning hair is looking like very serious acting!” Once rapport is established — THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT — explain to him that there is a commenter on Videogum named kiss the pan who wants him to leave his wife and live with her in Texas. With any luck, he’ll say something like, “Kiss the pan? I love Mr. Show! Gee, what a great reference!”, file the divorce papers right away, and come live in my one-bedroom apartment in 100 degree heat (only 52% humidity today!).
I can see nothing flawed in this plan. I will send you one of those bouquets made of fruit as your reward, Josh. Go! Go!
HELL YEAH, I hope your plan works. Cause I’d be proud to welcome ol’ Christian TO THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.
Good to see they’re remaking Singles.

Oh god, I cannot express how good it feels to downvote you.
hey, DIAPERFACE!
Why don’t you just KEEP YOUR STUPID COMMENTS IN YOUR POCKET!
You have seen The Room!!!
My new favorite game is, judging from this picture what is the premise for the motion picture, The Fighter?
The Fighter chronicles the dramatic journey of an orchard worker from Eastern Europe with AIDS as he realizes his dream of becoming a competitive ballroom dancer in America. In the process of losing his life, he finds it.
One time my mother found me, lying, exhausted, and breathing heavily on the floor. When she asked what the racket was – she was referring to my rapid footsteps and the blare Pat Benetar’s “Love is a Battlefield” my response was simply “Fighting.”
So it could be that? (It’s totally not that.)
Guess he’s been
those jeans.Personally, I’ve been leery of Mr. Bale since this blind item in Page Six last summer:
Which hunk in a summer movie is a violent, closeted homosexual? The heartthrob snuck into his ex?s apartment a few months ago and raped him so violently, the ex ended up in the hospital, and the actor paid him $500,000 to keep his mouth shut.
This was last August, so Dark Night was all the rage, plus there had just been that odd incident where his mom and sister called the cops on him in London, and since then we’ve all heard the ultra-mega-insane Terminator:Salvation meltdown….
To me, the pieces fit.
Huh? I’m pretty sure I heard word for word that rumor around Handcock and already assumed it was Will Smith because the Fresh Prince as we all knew died ages ago.
*Hancock…oh whatever!
Well that’s proof enough for me. Crucify him!
He looks sort of like the middle brother on Malcolm in the MIddle…?
Hells to the yeah he does!
Is “The Fighter” a sequel to “Fighting”?
If I wasn’t working today, I’d have been an extra in this.
You all could have seen the tabloids once I asked Bale if he liked Huey Lewis and the News, or Phil Collins. He’s such a method actor that he’d instinctively grab the nearest ax.
Remember when Christian Bale was, like, the default hot guy? Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and all that jazz? Now Johnny Depp makes him look like a goblin. I think these Hollywood types keep getting sexier. Trying to turn me gay.
It so obvious you are indeed, not gay, sir. Because if you were gay, you would already know that my dear Johnny Depp has been “the hot guy” LONG before Mr. Bale was way too skinny; way too batmany; or way to stonewashed-y.
I think this movie is directed by David O. Russell and also has Mark Wahlberg in it.
wow, how did they find a picture of him eating?
