@redsonja84 English really. His parents were English and he grew up in England (also spent a bit of time in Portugal and maybe somewhere else too). He was just born in Wales and left when he was 2.
He's one of the few actors who can confuse people regarding his nationality because he does different accents so well. For the longest time I thought he was American b/c he's so good at the accent. xD
Even the accents in which he is interviewed on DVD extras changes, In some he is all "Awlroit an' evryfink" and in other he sounds like a US game show host. Check out extras on Psycho and you would think he was from Harvard. (No. not HaaVaad!). Of course, If he keeps treating his body the way he does for roles. Living on An apple and a can of Tuna a day for the machinist and then Pizza and Ice cream for Batman and then running himself to death for rescue dawn. He won't be here for long.
YOU TOTTALLY FORGOT THE NEWSIES ! ! HOW COULD YOU ! HIS SEXY NEW YORK ACCENT WAS THE BEST ! OH MY GOD. this video is a fuckin disgrae without the newsies...
I've noticed he gets really dedicated to getting in the accents sometimes, like theres an interview with him on the set of american psycho and he just does the interview in that deep american voice for the movie.
This is the first time i've ever heard his British accent. In every interview i've ever seen him in, he's always using the American one. He's so good at the American accent though.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS!In 1971 a guy named Kyle and his girlfriend Emily were in side a house that was said to claim peoples lives if they entered the house.The next morning a guy named Alex saw fingernail marks on the door.if you dont post this to 5 videos, you'll be getting a visit from Kyle and Emily tonight!WARNING:this has been proved to be real.
thanks God 4 utube, or where else we would have such a healthy conversation!!!(honestly i was eating popcorn laghing over ur comments, u two could become politicians!
You are a stereotypical ignorant American because you demonstrated how stupid you are by not researching the facts. I have done no such thing. Now be gone peasant.
Thank god you Americans lef tus because you are unabel to analyse information for yourselves. His parents are English, he grew up in England and he himself says hes not Welsh hes English. What more do you want you fucking stereotypical retarded American cunt. And how is youtube not a good source when HE IS IN THE FUCKING VIDEO SAYING HIS NATIONALITY IN A NINTERVIEW YOU FAT OBESE AMERICUNT. 9/11 BABY.
@CityBoyMillionaire O.K. I know you are trying to get your point heard. but you do not have to bring up 9/11. That has nothing to do with this video or this discussion. A lot of good people died for no reason. They were mothers, fathers, even children were killed. do you wish that I bring up some horrific thing that has happened to your country. And remember if it wasn't for Americans you would be owned by Germany!
Every nation and different nationality has their arrogant, asshole citizens. Not all Americans are like that at all. And to say "9/11 Baby" just proves that you are the arrogant, asshole citizen of whatever country you are from. But I wouldn't hold it against your entire country....only you. Any situation where thousands of people are killed is sad and tragic....no matter what country it is in!
does this have something to do with this video?!? i know it doesent we just like Chritian Bale! And watching videos cause we LIKE HIM! dont blame us for being beter than your mom OOPS! Did i say that? :P
HOW is he Welsh? Search "Christian Bale English" on youtube and theres an interview of him saying hes english not welsh. Just face it, Wales is a piece of shit country full of sheep shagging cunts except Katherine Jenkins. You slag.
I don't believe it I think you've got a bit of welsh miners blood in you boyo because you've managed to dig your way into katherines arse too. Except it seems you've forgotten your pickaxe. CUNT
Of corse he's english both his parents are and he grew up in England. "Im not a true taffy. Not really, I was just born there, I go back there I like that people call me that, there's a great vintage of great actors but truly I grew up in England, as you can hear". Sounds like a patriotic taffy to me. You taffy cunt.
i'm surprized that he at least hasent bee nominated for an oscar his preformences in American Psycho and the Machinist where two of my favorite preformences of all time.
haha ,, i think its easier for him to do an english accent than an american accent because he was born in england.... his normal accent is somewhere inbetween these days,, a few more years in the states and he will be a full on yank
the Metroland clip was a poor choice, he doesn't talk much in that clip. but damn if he's not a dead ringer for Bob Dylan in I'm Not There, that's a great clip. hmmm, he's a very fine man, his wife is a lucky woman.
Cool to see him talk in different accents. Anyone ripping on the video: read the f*cking title of the video! It's not the best accents, its not all accents, its just different accents so shut the fck up
EXACTLY!!! wtf ever happened to The Prestige, or Reign of Fire for that matter?! Those were some of his best accents. Sorry to trash your video by the way, but Christian Bale is origonally from Wales, so in "A Murder of Quality" he was just using his own voice, he didn't have to work for that accent...you messed up big time, buddy.
Idk if you or anyone knows this, but i believe that he is also in the 1992 Musical "The Newsies" he has an old-fashioned New York accent in it too, its a great movie, if you haven't already seen it i suggest that you look it up. Even if you don't like musicals
