Bale says he’s an idiot to lose so much weight

Share |

The Dark Knight star Christian Bale looks SCARY.

The actor has already lost 63 pounds for his role as crack addict boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward in The Fighter and it doesn’t seem enough for him.

Bale is keen to portray the character as accurately as possible, and if losing weight is what it takes, he’ll go for it. To make the picture even more realistic, Bale even had his hair thinned, so “he just looks sickly” now.

Christian has lost almost as much weight as he did for The Machinist [that time he lost 60 lbs.]. He is so gaunt,” E! quoted a source as saying.

When making The Machinist, in which Bale played a paranoid insomniac, the actor survived on a can of tuna and an apple a day, but I just can’t imagine what he eats now. Does he eat at all?

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,” Christian Bale explained his weight experiments. “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.”

No comment.
