Christian Bale talks "The Fighter" with HitFix

Fair warning: you're not going to learn anything about "The Dark Knight Rises" in this story or interview with Christian Bale. It's not that Bale wouldn't answer such questions, but when you're sitting down to discuss his already acclaimed performance in David O. Russell's "The Fighter," there really isn't time.

Based on a true story, "The Fighter" finds Bale playing Dicky Eklund, a former boxer who battled his own addictions to crack cocaine while trying to train his brother, Micky Ward, to a championship title fight. The picture features another physical transformation by Bale, who made waves when he went skin and bones for "The Machinist" a few years back, and has been known to bulk up for his role as Batman in Chris Nolan's "Dark Knight" series.

shave ur beard, don´t hide that beautiful face!

I don't think so, he seems like a cool guy. He just lost and made a stupid mistake on set in front of many other people. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Movie sets tend to have long hours and if a guy keeps messing up the shot take after take on a 18 hour day, it'd probably send someone alittle overboard.

One of my friends met him at a superbike school in the states. He said he was a real cool, down to earth dude. I guess they were just bullshitting about bikes and batman haha. I trust my friends charter judgement. Everyone gets pissed. If people think you can truly judge someones character by 5 min of an audio clip then they're ignorant.
