christian bale different accents

[mrsszmanda07]

Lol! Why couldnt 17 year old Christian be in my skool now!!! Nom nom x

[e7l13]

What about the prestige? Hes got a really strong londoner accent in that

[Pink345PANther]

did he really eat the worms ???

[asdq8y100]

1:47 hhhhhhhhhhhhhh i luv his face

[williammoseleyfan101]

I wonder what his REAL accent is! He always changes during interviews!

I just wanna hear his actual voice

But he is my favorite actor and he does a great job with accents

[LisbethPung]

So you mean that gaping in a few minutes, like in the second scene you pictured, is one of his accents?

[cafesanslait]

He kind of sounds like George W. Bush in the last one (the pastor role).

[wraithofbodhi]

A Murder of Quality, the only Christian Bale movies I've never laid my greedy eyes on, thanks for the clip...

[TheRoroki]

he's amazing. i cant mention anyone as good as christian at the moment

[contradictionss]

I am SO glad bale nabbed his oscar for 'the fighter' this year. he fully deserved it! bloody brilliant actor

[RakdaStone]

See what he looks like in Empire of the Sun, and now..... its the same face jsut miniature!

[xyabluko]

I barely heard in speak in the first two clips...

[Meteddica]

DANIEL FARADAY

[CosmicUndeadElf]

@Meteddica That's just what I thought when I saw him, lol

[BloggerMusicMan]

I literally didn't know until about five minutes ago that he's actually English. His American accent is so perfect.

[redsonja84]

@BloggerMusicMan Welsh, actually..

[BloggerMusicMan]

@redsonja84

Just looked up his Wiki page. I stand corrected.

[redsonja84]

@BloggerMusicMan That's what makes his natural accent so different.

[crazeh]

@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.

[DuchessAliana]

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

[dangerironjunkie]

You should include Howl's Moving Castle (;

His voice is really charming in that film.

[AshKilamande]

eating those maggots at 2:50 must have been quite gross.

[ewanthug]

@AshKilamande he's the best actor lol

[ImaginaryOranges]

Press 2 repeatedly...lmao her eyes...:P

[UUreviews]

his american psycho accent trumps all

[ryker666]

You forgot Newsies. He had a pretty unique accent in that one.

[35Cory85]

I didn't think Rescue Dawn was really that rare. Great film though.

see you later

[dovestones]

In the Metroland clip I dont even think Bale speaks!!

[lobelia2]

he looks like an abercrombie and fitch model

[washbrook45]

STROMBERG!!!

[QueenofDiamonds1391]

i love christian's face in 1:49. hes like "what????"

[MrMJneverforgotten]

Hanscombe72 dats a fuckin horriable thin to say I love christian as an actor dnt say thins like dat plz

[feenicks89]

the accent he did in 'the fighter' was the best . 'hey man!! wered you pahk the fookin cah!'

[mediblue9]

Thanks for the tons of info, great stuff! Bale is up there with the best of them.

[joshD4000]

You missed out reign of fire and batman

[joshD4000]

You missed out reign of fire

[whiteasiangirl]

YOU FORGOT NEWSIES!!!!!! now ur dead to me.....

[hanscombe72]

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.

[harryonlineat]

You forgot Newsies and Swing Kids !!!!

[betterthansex123]

he didnt even talk in the second clip u fuckin moron

[Huppeldepup17]

1:48 I thought he was gonna go ''Terminator Salvation'' on his ass xD In a non-sexual way of course..

[thisiskatybaby]

He's Soo fuckin sexy

[DerHalbeEuro]

Did he realy eat worms in "Rescue Dawn"? Or is it just a special effect?

[alialcollins]

sigh.... SUCH a babe.

[Music4evr546]

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...

[Sicaholic]

oooooh, hot since he was a teenager

[fandaygreen]

i want to f*** him ahahhahaha

[rocanlover151]

ohhhh te amo eres tan pero tan sexy grrr....

[fandaygreen]

@rocanlover151 

[brookemcin79]

sexy ass bastard. 

[rationalization2]

Would have been better if more than 10% of the dialogue was Christian Bale speaking.

[sparkish808]

Daniel Faraday was in Rescue Dawn??? XDDD He looks like he was just playing Charles Manson again. lol.

[VideoxMistress]

i love christian's face when the guy tells him he loves him.

[varnernicholas]

why does he say like 3 words from each film, you should've picked better scenes

[cookiegurl777]

i love his voice. hear him in Howl's Moving Castle, its so hot. =]

[Rillaraza]

@flirtygirl98

He was born in Pembrokeshire in Wales, but grew up in UK, USA and Portugal.

[TheTimbalanders]

@Rillaraza he considers himself to be English though. His parents were English and he spent his childhood in England the most

[mobman47]

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.

[fernglamour13]

You forgot is New York Accent from Newsies!

[ifedthehorse]

Hit the 'more' button to view the entire text of 'War and Peace'.

[topbluffa1]

1:55 hes doing a real jim carey style thing with his mouth.

[xtremecs]

How does this man not have an Oscar?

[Memington]

Second clip... he said 3 words

[Radculas]

wow, and his latest masterpeice is of course, the infamous batman growl lol

[narutofan9tf]

@handsomelightbrown

that's the accent

[zaidhunt]

could you have picked videos that have him speak more?..

but appreciate the effort.

[kistajk]

His british accent is still quite clear in the first 2 sample movies.

[Wallonische]

@kistajk

No such thing as a British accent, only English accent, Scottish accent and Welsh accent. All are accents spoken on the British Isles.

Learn something before you post.

[kistajk]

@Wallonische whatever, his accent is still too obvious in the first 2 samples.

[TheTimbalanders]

@Wallonische and even then theres still lots of different types of English accents. People from London don't sound like people from Manchester

[pigfairy5]

...better in newsies,,,

[lullaby2rocknroll]

his real accent can be seen in metroland. in most of his other movies, he's putting on an accent - and damn he's fantastic at it!!

[virgofemme5]

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.

[ktonlai]

did he actually eat those worms?

[topbluffa1]

has anyone noticed christi9an bale does a simmilar thing with his mouth that jim carey does.

[fah369]

Yeah that's the brilliance in him that he changes is accents from British to the American.

[fah369]

Yeah that's the brilliance in him that he changes is accents from British to the American.

[leddobrasil]

i mean in this videos...

i dont remember how he was in other movies

[leddobrasil]

i really like him....but i dont see such a big difference in the accents

i always hear an english accent...

maybe 4 english people he makes accents from different parts of england...but well....thats not a big accent change 4 me

[boogeymanfromhell]

lol yeah

[ydnicmondragon]

He did great in Public Enemies too!

[the25thcaprice]

gosh even when he was young he was hot *__*

[ladiesman4565]

shame this guys account got disabled.. haaa dumb prik. he cant even leave spaces proprly. CUNT

[pinkmuffinable]

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

[PunisherXD40]

he didn't even speak in the second clip? why is this titled accents?

[BTTFMovie]

yeah he did he said what's that mate?

[zacksfan]

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!

[CosmicUndeadElf]

Wow he hasn't aged much over the years

[DetectiveDeckard]

@CosmicUndeadElf He must have kept up that American Psycho morning routine lol

[crazeh]

@CosmicUndeadElf he always uses an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol

[gwadapeach]

@crazeh ...surely....

He takes care of his hairs a bit, something rare with boys, that's great.

[AreaCode978]

@CosmicUndeadElf It's because of all those groovy facial product from American Psycho.

[Roses83us]

@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!

[monkeipeg]

I personally like the Welsh. I like 'em all.

[lava200]

Smashing, leave the Fag English Troll alone.

And yes, thank goodness America kicked their asses. And saved them again in two subsequent wars.

All a bunch of drunk potty mouthed low classed douchebags.

[romanblood]

I'm British, and I find that your really no different from Cityboy, ditch this sterotypical crap and enjoy Bale as an actor.

[calculatorINSTINCTS]

-drool-

[iamyouifyouareme]

He is probably the best with accents in movies. Great actor.

[phlaun]

I'm starring in a college film and the director told me to act like christian bale. I'm the hero in the movie...

[ManicMiasma]

He's amazing. How about that, instead?

[darkdude10]

at 1:47 hes all like WTF!!!

[123ilikeme]

He sounds best when he's just talking. His Welsh accent is 100% sexy.

[colordeojos]

he is english u idiots. born in Pembrokeshire, Wales

[Dan3b]

welsh then u joker not english

[colordeojos]

whatev i was answering to the idiots who said he was american. u dick

[LegendarySkidoosh13]

what language accent does he actually have?

[markston92]

British/American

[indiemuse81]

welsh

[LadyFlusterbustle]

Like the mullet in Metroland Christian. Aw no... those maggots look noice and tasty in Rescue Dawn. He's such a brilliant actor.

[Godzilla52]

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.

[nickcarterroxs]

For any of you who don't know but Christian is Welsh! ok got it?

[shenmue15654]

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

[alicecullenrulz]

i know i find it depressing :(

[GoddessOfWhim2003]

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.

[mariomanlite]

"I'm not going to let you out of your handcuffs tonight, okay?" LOL I loved his "okay". And then his face after that xD

[wtfhannahbanana]

How about newsies. His New York Accent :)

[alicecullenrulz]

thats my fav accent of his!

[merton8181]

His accent off screen is fucked up. Make up your mind Christian, British or American accent!

[kb4521]

this video is terrible!!!!!!! i agree completely with Nachtjager

[LISdafreestyler]

prestige!!!

[TheNachtjager]

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.

[madmetal]

Bale even looks like the original John Connor in the first scene

[69joefins69]

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

[pupgirl65]

He is in Newsies... I love Newsies... Thats obvious by my profile... :p

[LA3226]

I think that his recent flip out on set was just misplaced anger from having that fucking Afro in I'm not there....lol

I still love him though.

[racl101]

"Diplomatic Immunity"

BANG!

"It's just been revoked!"

[Chrisg586]

wtf was that movie where he eats those worms?

[misteryellow1]

rescue dawn

didn't you see the title?

[LA3226]

maggots, actually. nasty, i know.

[8mycrab]

I noticed that too!

[BlueZephyr16]

oh my god, its daniel faraday in the one with the maggots!

[bertiersgurl246]

That pastor one was...well on the fair side of creepy

[Madwomann]

At 3:15 he looks like Matthew McConaughey.

[TheHunkIsSprunk]

He could have potrayed Bush really well..

[LondonHyatt]

He has the same lips, that is true.

[amandakj]

very poor quality

[HappyBirthdayPaulie]

You are not gonna eat that rice!

[marlymac]

Rescue Dawn was such an amazing, haunting film.

[pashavanbijlert]

right, except that it wasn't recent, and I don't care if he exploded. Don't tell me you don't get angry sometimes. What's the big deal if somebody get's angry? Have you never gone on a rant before?

[SSAndroid]

WTF I wasn't expecting 1:28!!

[Nuclearman2]

Damn, yeah, I know.

Someone needs to make a mash-up of The Rant with that clip.

"I love you..."

"NO! SHUT THE FUCK UP, BRUCE!"

:D

[knightpatricia]

thatd be soo good id do it if i knew shit about editing and such

[Paulineisawesome]

I LIKE TUHTLES!

[Skduke52]

the second clip he didnt even say anything

[jewto0b]

needs more normalization.

[UltimateVenom]

what does that do?

[SkankinDevil89]

3:28 i swear if i was an extra in the audience i wouldve pissed the hell out of christian bale. i dont know how you can sit there listen to that and not laugh your ass off

[aypee16]

the second one sucks... he says three words

[thesutherlande]

Haha! Oooh, right, I knew that it just didn't click 'cause I'm thick haha.

And I think I've seen that dance version lolzz. Waverly Flams?? =p

[thesutherlande]

What does that mean??

I swear you/someone has posted this some other place ... =p

[123hoythere]

haha lol

[piter923]

Next time you could choose a scene where Bale actually speaks.

[mohican321]

my thoughts exactly. what s stupid video...

[wideyess]

How is that a different accent? Thats his own accent.

[BenjaminNBS]

Wow - so he can do English AND American accents.... give that man an Oscar!?? (sarcasm)

He's a great actor. But this video doesn't come close to showing anything impressive - just him speaking in different accents, which, seeing as he's lived in both England and America, isn't exactly amazing.

Many many many actors do the same.

[Vykrel]

i think people are impressed because hes english and can do an american accent rather than an american doing an english accent, cuz for some reason u dont see a lot of english people even make an attempt at an american accent :P but everyone can do an english accent so american actors that do it dont get much praise for it XD

[BenjaminNBS]

Brits doing good American accents:

Daniel Day Lewis, Kate Winslet, Gary Oldman, Hugh Laurie, Minnie Driver, Brian Cox, Helena Bonham Carter, Bob Hoskins, Anna Friel, Half the cast of Band of Brothers, Lena Headey, Alan Cumming, Robert Pattinson.

That's just off the top of my head.

Americans with credible English accents? Gwyneth Paltrow, erm. Renee Zelwegger possibly. Johnny Depp.

Aussies & Irish can do American well: Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman, Cilian Murphy, Heath Ledger.

[Vykrel]

i honestly dont know who like 90% of the british people u listed are... i know kate winslet, lena headey, and i never saw band of brothers :P but i wasnt talking about just actors. i meant literally every american can do an english accent unless they are stupid or overdue it. also i thought hugh jackman was english, hes australian tho?

[BenjaminNBS]

Hehe, doesn't mean its a GOOD English accent though! :-P

I can do an American accent pretty well, though i'm sure an American could probably tell otherwise. lol.

I think Seth MacFarlane doing Stewie is really good though!! (Family Guy)

[Vykrel]

i can do a rly good english accent too. ive just never heard any regular non-acting english person do an american accent. i even asked a guy i know on xbox live to try it and he like refused lol

[joshT]

oh my god great story

[kingshahine]

no you can't. Because you think a proper english accent is a posh one. And you fail.

[Vykrel]

hey retard i never said i can do it like a dumbass. i know how english people talk in real life. i dont overdue the accent. maybe u should know what ur talking about before u reply to people.

[kingshahine]

right. so how do you do it then. post your video.

guarenteed you do a stereotypical posh accent.

[Vykrel]

i only have an account so that i can comment and rate videos. i dont even own a camera or webcam so thats going to be a little tough. again, its not stereotypical so dont say that it is. i wouldnt say anything like "ELLO THEH MATE!!! CAH FOR A SPOTV TAE??? PIP PIP CHEERIO!!!" im not a dipshit dude. i just do it like a regular english person would.
