"I've just been eating a lot of pies". So have I Christian, but Hollywood still won't come knocking.3

Bale is one of the finest actors of our generation. The stress he puts on his body for each role is incredible.8

Why is this a shock? If he looked like Bale he wouldn't look like Chaney ! Top man we need more like Mr Chaney2
-
he's incredible and doesn't get the plaudits as much as he should, mostly because of the fact his films (for the most part) have a large mainstream appeal.Croydon said:Bale is one of the finest actors of our generation. The stress he puts on his body for each role is incredible.

Adam Mckay the writer/director is exceptionally talented as well, he co wrote and directed films like anchorman, step brothers and the other guys. I love the fact he's moving into more serious stuff and keeping that brand of humour.JessieAddick said:Have been looking forward to this for some time now. Superb cast. Hope it will be great.

Seems to have worked all right for De Niro.Rizzo said:
Very much this. The massive weight losses and gains cannot possibly be healthy and whilst they might be making him a shedload of money I can't see him having a long or healthy life.Croydon said:The stress he puts on his body for each role is incredible.

I know he did it once for Raging Bull but Bale has done it repeatedly and to, what seems to me, greater extremes. Can't be healthy for him!iainment said:

I thought I saw George Costanza there for a moment.

To be fair, De Niro put weight on again for The Untouchables. He also lost weight earlier for Taxi Driver.Rizzo said:

The film De Niro made after Raging Bull was True Confessions, alongside Robert Duvall. He'd shed a load of weight but you can see he's still a bit chubby in the face.0

Bale is a very good actor and has great screen presence but there are reports of him being a bit of a prick. No idea how true that is.0

This rant may tell you all you need to know about him being a prick. Be warned , the language is a bit ripe!ShootersHillGuru said:Bale is a very good actor and has great screen presence but there are reports of him being a bit of a prick. No idea how true that is.

Christian Bale is an actor for whom the prefix 'great' is totally justified1

He does Cheney so well I started yelling "burn in hell you awful war criminal" at the trailer. Probably wait to see this streaming at home.NapaAddick said:Bale.... Sam Rockwell.... Amy Adams... Steve Carrell? Sign me up.

@JessieAddick, if you can find a ten minute clips of "The best of" for Anchorman it's better than the film itself.EastStand said:@JessieAddick HOW HAVE YOU NOT SEEN ANCHORMAN?!

All 3 are amazing movies, especially Anchorman!JessieAddick said:

"Bale needed to look drastically thin, so he had to lose a lot of weight, from 173 pounds to 110 pounds.WSS said:
How he got to look how he did in The Machinist must have been bordering on dangerous.Croydon said:Bale is one of the finest actors of our generation. The stress he puts on his body for each role is incredible.
To lose these 63 pounds, the actor followed a draconic diet: for almost four months he ate only one can of tuna fish and/or one apple per day.
This type of diet is a very low calorie diet, ensuring only 50-260 calories/day. There are 194 calories in one can (6.5 ounce) of tuna in water (drained) and one medium size apple (about 150 g) has 80 calories. The “menu” was completed with black coffee and water.
Besides the extremely low calorie intake, the foods chosen for this diet are, by themselves, metabolism boosters. Due to the caffeine content, coffee increases the metabolism. The apples are high in sugar and pectin (a soluble fiber) which dampens down the appetite.
To lose weight faster, Christian Bale exercised hard. The star’s exercise regime included intensive cardio workouts and intensive resistance/weight training workouts.
However, in order to protect his health, the actor also took vitamin supplements each day."

I have to say that I don’t even admire this. It’s totally stupid and shouldn’t encouraged or even be allowed by the producers. Think there are limits as to how far actors can go in a role.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Asking for a chubby friend.2 -
Yup, quite different strands of comedy there @JessieAddickJessieAddick said:Haha thank all of you for the recommendation @kentaddick @EastStand @SDAddick @Stu_of_Kunming
I don't know why I haven't seen them. I do know about Anchorman though. Maybe I'm just not into comedy stuff in general. I just watched the trailer and a few minutes of the best bits video on YouTube. I'm not sure I'd like it. Slightly reminds me of 'The Office' (the US version) I watched last month. I wanted to like that show but I just couldn't get into it and gave it up after three episodes. I liked The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon but I guess they are entirely different kind of comedy to Will Ferrell's films?1 -
The thing I find most offensive about that sound clip is his accent....he's from Wales FFS.... Anyway, whether he's a bit of a knob or not, I do think he's a bloody excellent actor.....1

New clip out that expands on one scene in the trailer. OMG, the editing! Reminds me of Oliver Stone's editing in Natural Born Killers. I am so psyched to see this.
