After the rigours of actually filming the production, stepping out on the red carpet to promote his latest flick ‘Rescue Dawn’ must surely have been a breeze for Hollywood heart-throb Christian Bale.
For the flick, in which he plays a fighter pilot who is captured during the Vietnam War and becomes the only American to ever escape from a Laos prison camp, Christian was forced to endure some tough times and gritty moments.
The movie’s director, Werner Herzog, demanded actors to lose weight in order to look suitably malnourished. Accordingly, Christian shed over 50 lbs for the role. What’s more? The uncompromising director even had his leading man reportedly chomping down on a bowl of live maggots since there are “too many computer effects in movies these days.”
Christian was accompanied to the New York premiere by wife Sibi, and his ‘Batman’ co-star Heath Ledger. The screen hunks are currently filming together again, with Christian reprising his role as the muscled Caped Crusader and Heath taking on the role of the Joker on the Chicago set of ‘The Dark Knight.’

He doesn’t do a thing for me…..sorry
I think he’s beautiful. He adds depth and darkness to the characters he’s played. It’s scary to hear that he lost a lot of weight for a film again. The Machinist was almost painful to watch at times because of how thin he was.
Eating maggots? Call me a wimpy man but I’d have to bail, that is disgusting!
american psycho meets ned kelly … i like i like
….not too interested
Heart throb????? According to whom??????????
Bale has been a great actor since he was a child.
Barks: Maggots are high in protein and can keep you alive. If you get hungry enough, you’ll eat ‘em.
A Christian Bale post? Let me change my panties! Him and his wife are so cute together!
What the hell is up with Heath’s mouth in the middle pic? He looks like he’s in the middle of a Tourette’s twitch.
The things I’d do to C Bale, I love him!
Man, what a career; The Prestige, New World, Machinist, Little Women…I really respect Bale as an actor, he seems very dedicated to his craft (as per maggot-eating), and I’m super excited for the next Batman film.
Love Christian, love his body,and his english drawl. He’s a breath of fresh air. Can’t say that about booger head Heath though, yuck!
ugh i have a serious serious crush on the bale…mmmm. so hot.and he can actually act. love him. seriously. i might have a problem.
Christina has a great body but he definitely needs a pair of lips. Heath’s looks are fading fast.
gorgeous.
I’m still thrilled that I met him and he pet my doggie 3 years ago…..lol
It would be nice if you could remove these pictures. You`ve stolen the pic codes from me on “The Celebrity City”!
