Christian Bale interview for The Dark Knight

[MrsMJLoveAlways]

I knew he had an accent but I hadn't heard him speak aside from in his movies and UMMM OMG he has a very nice voice.

[Blahblahbox1]

Why does he talk like a mafia boss? and why do I find it so sexy?....

[DaniSeku91]

he really goes in and out of that accent lol

[rexorrama]

What's with the goofy accent? Is he trying to sound English or something? Spending too much time around Michale Cain? LOL

[spredspred]

@rexorrama He was born in Wales and lived in England...

[rexorrama]

@spredspred Nonsense! Christian Bale is American! And he sounds like an American in every movie I've seen him in: American Psycho, The Machinist, Rescue Dawn, Harsh Times, 3:10 to Yuma, Terminator Salvation, Public Enemies, The Fighter.... Batman

He's obviously just trying to copy Johnny Depp's and Madonna's fake hoity-toity accent. Shame on him!

[spredspred]

@rexorrama He says so in this interview /watch?v=muo7zu3airQ The reason he has an accent in those films is because he's an actor?

[epicj13]

@rexorrama it's called acting tard

[oasisstereo1402]

@rexorrama He's a Welsh actor who plays american characters. Works for Gary Oldman also : ) it's called acting.

[rexorrama]

@oasisstereo1402 Yeah, I know he's really not an American. I was just acting like I didn't :-)

[Rzryan93]

@rexorrama He was born in Wales and went to school with my uncle, in Bournemouth

[Jman88]

@rexorrama He's British.. -.-'

[Xais56]

WTF is up with his accent

[Urbeflurb93]

@Xais56 Exactly what I thought. It's like all over the place.

[Chosenviper]

Go Bale, you are the Knight!

[TehBunnysBack]

good actor. seems like a prick tho.

[yamisupersaiyan]

@TehBunnysBack

He isn't. He just comes off as this aggressive guy,because he's really self confident. He does a lot of good things in life. He recently stopped a fight somewhere, and tried to get this foreign guy he admired out of jail. He just demands respect for his what he does

[Diandra410]

I love this guy, he's my celebrity crush lol. I'm so happy to say I have his autograph thanks to my wonderful boyfriend getting it for me =)

[nachocheese154]

Mr Bale, Just one question. Why so serious?

[WanderLink]

Christian Bale is a famous dolphin right?

[jonathan55751]

HES THE BEST BATMAN EVER.

[hailster2]

omg his accent is sooo sexy!

[invisiblejaguar1]

I love his voice, it's like Birtish-American, really sexy :-)

[markafc83]

He has one of the strangest accents I have ever heard.

[bomchickawowooow]

I want him inside me.

[PARADOXON1987]

@bomchickawowooow oh OK than Good LUCK ;D

[TheZorseWhisperer]

@karmypolitics i was thinking the same thing

[SuperMicklovin]

Anyone who says Bale can't act (i.e the burton fanboys) needs to go watch American psycho or the fighter before talking shit

[CHTWillCome723]

@SuperMicklovin Well said. I just recently became a Christian Bale fan after watching a lot of his movies and "The Fighter" and "American Psycho" are prefect examples of how good he can be.

[SuperMicklovin]

@CHTWillCome723 very true. American psycho is probably his best role so far

[CHTWillCome723]

@SuperMicklovin "You're a f***ing ugly B***h. I wanna stab you to death then play around with your blood." Priceless haha

[Heathcliff387]

Michael Keaton=Best Batman.

[yamisupersaiyan]

@Heathcliff387

LOL no, he kills which negates your comment already

[Sani2727]

guys seriously batman with a british accent that would be funny

[lottaleaftotal]

Gotta stop watching Bale videos. Gotta do homework. Gotta get a life. Can't. X-)

[kedwards065]

Sooooo handsome

[MisterClouston]

He speaks in whatever accent is necessary at the time, In American Psycho he kept speaking in an American accent, even in interviews, because he's in role. A real professional

[FlyWire14]

welsh welsh welsh welsh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! noW evr1 knw

[meiwannacookies]

He does not look like the type of guy to be british.

[MisterClouston]

@meiwannacookies What does that even mean? describe a British looking person...? 

[KesserCFC4eva]

His cheekbones have a life of their own

[discounttofu]

and i jizzed in my pants.

[tomank101]

My God he's English? That blew my mind

[blehface3000]

@tomank101 he's welsh i think

[BountyHunter500]

fuckin goddamn professional!!... Bale approves!

[lettersfromaboy]

For Christ sake man, these comments are amateur.

[AudioVideoDisco06]

Whoa, accent.

[0oZzZzZo0]

love him <3 he's awesome, i love him in every role

[vivalarey619]

He spoke in an American accent to avoid confusion.

[gamrbyte]

@KNGC1 Haha. Idiot.

[BTTFMovie]

@KNGC1 Living in America doesn't make you American. He fakes the accent because he's playing an american character. Most of the characters he plays are American, and he's in about two films a year, so he's faking an American accent more often than speaking in his regular English one, so of course by now he'd sound more American because he's used to talking like that.

[Quack4Zac]

The tumblr, eh?

[Flanning]

I like his natural accent better. Putting on an alternate accent\dialect for an interview always makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

[Kassplaylist]

@Flanning That is his natural accent. -.-

[squiggleworks9]

@Flanning Um, he's Welsh, so I'm thinking that IS his natural accent

[misner1989]

man he is batman and bruce wayne I cant wait for the dark knight rises

[TheWisteriaBreeze]

I hope that in the new film about Batman Ann Hathaway will be a good catwoman, but I have a lot of doubts. Yeah, Bale is an awesome actor, but in The Dark Knight Heath was the centre of the film. I really love such films with Bale as Equilibrium, The Machinist, American Psycho, The Fighter etc.

[GREdimitraki12]

he sounds like a 1930s mobster/criminal. great accent

[sabbetin]

These three men are on my "list": 1. Christian Bale 2. Ian Somerhalder 3. Johnny Depp.

[leahcimrac]

1:37 jesus don't talk to Bale about lights.

[iStrangleCats]

hes taken a role as the godamn BATMAN. bale better do us proud in the dark knight rises

[Lightview2]

the most sexy man on earth

[ThaWallBangBoy]

@Lightview2 You haven't seen me.

[bomchickawowooow]

sex god.

[Orderr66]

is this during filming for the fighter per chance? i feel like chrictian is tryna find his voice for that role.

[masteroflife777]

Billion dollar film

[xoxobaby03]

Yeah Christian freaked out on set that one day but that shit happens to everyone. People get stressed and they over react sometimes, it's life. But everyone has to admit, he's a fabulous actor. So versatile, so swift with his roles. I love him & I've seen almost every single one of his movies. He's not only playing a character, he IS the character and I think that's what makes him such a great actor. One of the best out there for sure.

[themenaceanish]

Dark Knight was all about Heath Ledger, fuck Bale.

[TheDensley7]

@themenaceanish Fuck you.

[themenaceanish]

@TheDensley7 'Fuck you'

What, you wanna argue with me? You think Bale was better than Heath Ledger? Go on I dare you to say it. Let's see how much you get humiliated.

[MrnoWun0]

@themenaceanish Goodness gracious go to your room now, you foul mouthed uncouth young ragamuffin

[MoreFuckinNades]

@themenaceanish Shut up, go look for a fight somewhere else

[thegiantpigeon]

@themenaceanish This is an interview for Christian Bale. Fuck off and stop trolling.

[themenaceanish]

@thegiantpigeon And? No one gave a shit about his character in Dark Knight, it was all about The Joker.

RIP Heath Ledger, you were the best.

[thegiantpigeon]

@themenaceanish 'and?' what the hell do you mean 'and?' this is a video about Christian Bale if you don't like Christian Bale fuck off!

[themenaceanish]

@thegiantpigeon What you gonna do if I dont fuck off? Call Christian Bale so that he can scare me with his retard dog voice? LOL!

IM NOT WEARING HOCKEY PAAAAAAAAAAAAADS! XD

Bale is a joke.

[SergeantTomato5]

@themenaceanish Fuckin troll...get a damn life...

[thegiantpigeon]

@themenaceanish Hurrrr Duuuurrrhhh Excellent point there buddeh!! D/: Good luck in life you'll get far champ

[navyk77]

@themenaceanish The people that focused purely on The Joker in this movie and became obsessed with the character were the more insecure and immature people who wished to escape their real world and the real perceptions of them. I loved Heath in this, but I didn't think if I put on the make-up, I would be a different person after the make-up was removed. It is the equivalent of those who become alcoholics and drug addicts, once they are sober, they are still them.

[themenaceanish]

@navyk77 Shut up dude, The Joker stole every scene in The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger made Bae look silly with his retarded bat voice XD

[AlexusCrime]

@tommyfungun what exactly was it that made him come off as a "dickhead"? What did he say? I'm curious :O

[BansheeMilk]

Bruce Wayne does not exist.

[clirique]

CB is the sexiest thing ever!!

[Hammersmith4eva]

I swear he is english. Why is he talking in an american accent

[msh20msh20]

one day he is skinny

one day he is fat !

[SwordPlay102]

i will always see jack kelly(newsies) when i see him. with the new york accent and everything.

[ThisDudeMark]

I keep forgetting about his accent

[SOLIDMATTY]

He's got to be the Shitest Batman in history. He isn't hard enough to be batman he's a Pussy ass Bitch

[00twighlight]

@SOLIDMATTY

lol don't be mad, you're a pussy ass bitch.

[RularoftheEarth]

@peachT380 Kinda, I think I hear a little English accent...

[annie10103]

@RularoftheEarth

Well he's meant to be Welsh, but I hear English as well.

[Tommyfungun]

@annie10103 Born in Wales to parents who were English.

[annie10103]

@Tommyfungun

Oh right, thanks 

[Tommyfungun]

@annie10103 no problem....I am his 4th cousin ;)

[annie10103]

@Tommyfungun

Wow really? That's pretty cool, if you are actually related to him. :)

[Tommyfungun]

@annie10103 Yes no joke, he is actually a cock I have met two times we're not close family members so I don't get any money off him LMAO.

[annie10103]

@Tommyfungun

What, he's a cock? I always thought he was nice.

[Tommyfungun]

@annie10103 Nahh he maybe nice to some people, but to me he was a dickhead just don't think he liked me that's all. Haven't seen him in 5 years now.

[annie10103]

@Tommyfungun

Oh sad. I wonder why he didn't like you?

[Tommyfungun]

@annie10103 Got off on the wrong foot most likely.

[annie10103]

@Tommyfungun

Oh right, unlucky. Thanks for the conversation though :)

[slaidification]

i like your mustache 

[CaptainSkaj]

like how Bale barely touches chuck's hand in the end



[varun009]

if you watch saw backwards its a touching story of a man putting people's limbs back together.

[mralma67]

Being a welshman im proud we have given the world Christian and Anthony, everyone should enjoy their talent

[AlmightyGidge5991]

He acts like a dick.

[Searchinganswers]

How come he has got hair and I am losing mine!?

[matt1992c]

I know he's English born-American, but his accent sounds kinda Boston meets Aussie...

[bonscottboy]

@matt1992c yeah kind of weird

[looniegurl]

@matt1992c I always thought he was an Aussie... I guess I sort of confused him with Eric Bana.

XD

[Welshsico]

@matt1992c Ahhh, hes actually Born in Wales, but whatever. His parents are of English decent, His father is South-African born, and hes spent his childhood living in several different countries. So hes a bit of everything.

[HuErigerable]

@matt1992c Couldn't have put it better myself.

[PowerRanger310]

@matt1992c Christian Bale isn't even American, his mom was English and his dad was South African

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@matt1992c WELSH-born English, not American.

[xpixiedustxsr]

@matt1992c He is an WELSH-born ENGLISH actor.

[illevenlickthegravy]

@matt1992c I literally have no idea wtf accent that is lol. It's what you said plus ever so slightly cockney haha. Would've though it would be a fairly recognisable english accent but whatever lol.

[TheChongmaster]

@matt1992c - I was gonna say something similar!!!

[cricketsintune]

@matt1992c He's Welsh.

[Kwasimojo]

@matt1992c He's not. Doesn't anyone use Wikipedia/imdb to verify their claims??

[Sylo321]

@matt1992c Actually he was born in Whales in the United Kingdom

[titansupes]

@matt1992c I think he at the time of the interview he'd just wrapped from Terminator 4 (hence the shaved head) and preparing for The Fighter, hence the Boston accent (and also why he's so skinny). He tends to use the accent for whichever character he's playing 'round the clock. The crew of American Psycho had no idea he was Welsh until the wrap party when he finally went back to using his real voice.

[leahcimrac]

@matt1992c Hes actually Welsh born, rised in England and moved to America later in life.

[nagharajabishek]

@matt1992c i know. very aussie!!

[rhersh2011]

The Future as well advanced 2050 been to the UK Cyning looking at the 10th Amendment in the US

[Trinder3467]

He's gotta return some video tapes.

[dannigurl06]

He seems soo serious all the time!!

[ferrous719]

You know, we just watched this again last night, and in the scene where he hides Harvey Dent in the closet, it sounds like he's using the Batman voice to Rachel, even though he's in Bruce Wayne persona. Anyone else hear that?

[martialbro5]

@ferrous719 Yes I noticed that too. x)

[BTTFMovie]

@ferrous719 he also used Batman's voice when he asked the blindfolded security guard what happened when the joker tried to kill the mayor of Gotham. I'm guessing he used the Batman voice after he put Dent in the closet in case Dent could still hear him.

[Mizu40k]

@ferrous719 Yea because Rachel knows who he is, she knows that he's Batman

[Skevinblack7]

@ferrous719 yeah, at that particular moment he wasn't bruce wayne, he was batman

[MisterCovek]

@ferrous719 Yeah... I have also. But I think so that Dent wouldn't suspect something.

[billymemonable]

@ferrous719 I saw that too man. I think he does that so Dent doesnt find out its Bruce...even though Dent's knocked out, he still wants to stay on the safe side...thats my guess at least.

[Rion032]

@ferrous719 i actually picked that up the first time around. i think it was to signify that some serious danger (the joker/assassins) was approaching.

[titansupes]

@ferrous719 Dude, totally! He was in full Batman mode, even without the suit. Adding an extra layer of bad ass right there.

[gwadapeach]

Too cool!

[iOnlySignIn]

He sounds like a New Yorker!

[gamesport88]

@iOnlySignIn

You should see him in Newsies!

Not only does he talk with a Brooklyn accent, but he also sings!

[Kstylero7]

you should check 'em

[AnimusPipboy]

This dude looks and sound like Adam Jensen omggg

[dominatorG94]

I think his accent is turning american

[nuggets2go]

First off, LOVE the Bale! I think, accent-wise he starts off English cockney turns Australian, then morphs into New York. then Standard American. Again, just my opinion. Not hatin'. Love the Bale!

[JayJD585]

Christian Bale is perfect as Batman. Im so sick of people saying he sucks just because of his voice. I mean is that the only reason they can think of as to why He's a bad Batman? His voice? Really??

[irezak]

He sounds and moves like some sort of mafia boss lol

[Da1uLyK]

@irezak lool I know right

[whateverrrheatherrr]

He's beginning to sound Australian!

[coolbrett]

He sounds like a bogan in this interview

[lovelykahlan]

people, he's welsh. So that's why the 'English accent' sounds off. :D Cos it's not.

[Enriquezimirish]

His accent is like this cause he's going to film The Fighter and thats the accent he needs. He's a method actor, he lives the role

[sahajkdeepz]

@Enriquezimirish bongu em kadu...?

[loulie1997]

it sorta sounds like a Manhattan accent! not saying it is or suggesting it is, just saying they sorta sound alike! :)

[sheor16]

@loulie1997 he's really british. he's just been here soo long that his accent has gone away alot. and in alot of different movies, he uses different accents, so his regular accent is very mixed up.

[22hellman22]

@sheor16 fuck pussy england, he can become australian with that roid rage hes got

[FinnRHarg]

@22hellman22 lol I am English and I wouldn't say that to Christian Bale as he said in an interview I was born in Wales but I am an Englishmen through and through, next thing you know you're gonna get him screaming at you outside your door... He will find you! Cause He's BATMAN!!! lol

[joeking88]

He was born in Wales, moved to England at a very young age and now lives in America so the accent is a little difficult to pin point

[SweetPawsMcGenty]

I'm sure his accent seems to change often because it's probably changing for him all the time. He's constantly speaking in accents that aren't his native. Look at people like Mel Gibson who have lost their accent completely.

Also, Bale just seems like a smart, serious guy who understands the source material and loves the character.

[Phobosdeimos1]

What's his ACTUAL original accent?

[samtheman152009]

@Phobosdeimos1 Youtube "Christian Bale interview 13"

[Yanksuk2007]

sounds like english accent vs a bronx one lmao

[tharealYonas28]

He changes his accent every time he does an interview

[BatmanFANization]

he is the best batman we have until maybe somebody else shows up but until then hr is the best and i hate Keaton's fans that he is better batman he was until Bale came

[eor42]

he is so sexyyyyyy

[amelliea92]

WOOOAH his accent went from heavy british to full on american in one interview?!

[agentdouble007girl]

i heart Christian Bale <3 xoxox



[6of1halfadozon]

Everytime i see christian bale in an interview he's got a different accent

[WikdGamer]

Dude, I'm telling you, Christian Bale is like the perfect Bruce Wayne/Batman! His acting is top noch and his voice is awesome!

[CorsetGirl91]

@WikdGamer Dude, I'm telling you, Christian Bale is not like the perfect Bruce Wayne?Batman. His acting sucks ass and his voice is fucking ridiculous.

[WikdGamer]

@CorsetGirl91 You got your opinion and I got mine!

[CorsetGirl91]

@WikdGamer Yeah, and mine is intelligent, and yours is dumb.
