"I ate apples and smoked cigarettes." Christian Bale on getting so skinny for "The Machinist".
MistakenGenetials
Now normally I'm all for metric...but pounds is just more simple to understand for this
retrohellix
I'm surprised he didn't end up in the hospital....
Dalylah
Honestly it takes a lot of mental discipline to have control over your weight like this. Also, what a tasty morsel he is... yummy!
wronggengirl
I think that about 83 kgs would be PERFECT.
Baubles
A man so dedicated to acting he taught himself to sweat on command.
noey718
What about the Prestige, Terminator Salvation, Public Enemy,3:10 to Yuma??
tomanista
Nothing was extreme about is physic in those.
persianOUTKAST
as awesome as he is, it's not gonna be so nice when his heart suddenly explodes
shezabel
I was thinking that! This is all so super unhealthy!
conkeldurr
It's simple, we bulk up the Batman.
SolidG1690
TIL Christian Bale isn't one person.
comealongmrspond
He could be anyone, he's an idea.
ohwhosthatdashinggentlemanoverthere
[SPOILERS] Borden?

Dude, didn't you watch The Prestige?
genuinecounterfeit
Spoiler alert :-P
pukapuka
He's an actor. That's what they do.
Chexorz
That second photo... so lickable.
hurrimagurr
That's SO unhealthy!! ... Please just stay at the Batman stage. Yum.
embeekay13
I really thought the twist at the end of TDKR was gonna be that he was Patrick Bateman the whole time
marblerye
RAWR.
ahhtummd
It's simple, we bone the batman
whatamidoing360
whenever he's at 81+ DAAAAAAMNN
Just1103
For his next movie, I'm guessing he's going to be a skinny guy again.
kadidle51
That can't be healthy. My buddy does body competitions and does a 30 pound sway in like two days. can't be good for you.
tittiesandkitties
He was so fucking good in The Fighter.
Cannibananalism
As an American i don't understand these "kg"s
DC1888
As a British person I still don't know how big or small these weights are. In Britain its a confused mess of Imperial and Metric.
avidatheist
As another American, learn them.
DC1888
And I also just realized I replied to a 3 year old comment
Kneestothebreeze
I had the privilege of learning most of it in the military. It's not difficult if you apply it to everyday things. It is nice to know both.
picuritcha
yeah... time to learn the SI... you should've learnt that at school actually
mrjohnson
I see you are woefully misinformed as to the state of our education system. Learning...in school...you're cute.

81 is purrrrrrfect :3
ladylisa417
Is it bad I think American Psycho is the hottest one??
SupremeTacos
No, that and Reign of Fire are the only times I have ever really found him attractive.
goddessofthewoos
No. I too, think he is the hottest in American Psycho.
NosferMarki
I have to return some video tapes.
Toggit
Not at all. He's the goddamn Bateman.
kageboshi
Strangely enough, his physique was the least fucked up thing about The Machinist.
Maverickk157
IVAN!
ChrisNolanIsGod
It was pretty fucked up dude..It was disturbing..I love movies which stirs your emotions in opposition to "entertain" you..
fantastapotamus
I beg to differ.. this was the most fucked up part: http://cdn.wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/christian-bale-the-machinist.jpeg
Toggit
And his physique was pretty damned fucked up.
noey718
is that healthy?
bentwrenches
I think not..
NerdBomb
That is the exact opposite of everything even close to healthy.
WilsonTheVolleyball
short answer...no.
Nerfknight
Not one bit. But then, neither are most actors.
superblyme
Sexy, sexy, eh, sexy, eh, sexy, eh, sexy

I couldn't help reading this with an 'unc unc unc unc' beat in my head. Actually pretty catchy.

Do you write lyrics for Nicki Minaj?

DON'T OBJECTIFY MY GENDER! or do, since thats life and i'm not a whiny girl

I like how you simplify things. +1 for you!

I'm partial to the second sexy myself. That's a "hella sexy" in my book.
TheGoodDrPepper
For the Americans: 179lbs, 183lbs, 121lbs, 189lbs, 134lbs, 189lbs, 145lbs, 198lbs. Give or take a few.
eriykTheRed
My god...121 pounds??! That's absolutely insane. However, as a Batman fan I cannot upvote him enough.
WhatTheFUCKIsTheInternets
-Thank you- so much for this, I was about to have to do math and that's more thinking than I like to do on Imgur.
IwasBillNyeThePirateGuy
There are several points where he weighs less than me and I am an average sized woman.
opad
179= my favorite. Though 4 pounds heavier seems a lot more bulk.
demonic
thank you my good sir.
TheGoodDrPepper
I'm a lady, but you're still welcome.
photopyro11
i like to think that he accidentally overdid the working out and gained too much muscle for the dark knight rises...
pagingdoctorfaggot
fun fact: when Bale came to start filming Batman Begins Nolan thought he was too buff and it was unrealistic so he asked him to lose 10 lbs
Braethias
Oh. thanks. Have an upvote.
twignabiscuit
Sweet mother of God..thank you! I was totally lost.
procrasturbation
How many is that in Fahrenheit I don't understand Celsius.
IseeallofthesepeoplewithlongusernamesandIdecidedtotryitout
Well he is an American actor.....
Duendes
I had 4 months to go from 177 to 137 but damn, he takes the cake
Zilean
I am still skinnier than Christian Bale in the Machinist. I am not sure how to respond. I am a fellow guy btw.
icannotbraintodayihavethedumb
Weight is a pretty subjective thing. As long as you have the capacity to move around without getting faint to easy and are happy, good. :)
Zilean
Ehhh running after a short time still gets me tired. Lazy and out of shape.
SleepyMagoo
As a 5'3" lady: TIL I weigh more than Christian Bale sometimes. :(
haversam
you mean "people in the US" -- they're the only one using lbs.. the rest of America (the continent) uses Kg
ajizzle
thank you I was beginning to worry
vegansuperpowers
121 lbs?? daFUQ
stevetacular
you didn't see The Machinist? He was crazy skinny
ThereIsAJifForThat
Thank you! I really didn't want to have to multiply the 2.2 lbs /kg :)
LMGgp
Dammit i was going to make that comment.
monotoonz
I'm an American and I perfectly understand the metric system.
brainsushi
well LA DEE DA
GeneralZappBrannigan
Kudos, now convert everybody you meet.
monotoonz
"Excuse me sir, would you happen to have a few minutes to discuss the metric system?" I'm gonna do it :)
GeneralZappBrannigan
+100 if you do it to a church
monotoonz
challenge accepted :)
stevetacular
When I see Metric I always think of Abe Simpson saying, "My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I like it!"
damadamagoyolur
I always think of Eddie Izzard, commie metric system!
AceOFace131
My auto gets 30 hectares per deciliter!
AceOFace131
I have no idea what I'm talking about
PlutoIsNotAPlanetLetItGo
This actually works if you're driving a harvester or something that can be measured in area. For every m^2 covered, you use 3.3e-9L of fuel.
AceOFace131
Mathematical!
ObsLamprey
That's how the rest of the world feels about Imperial. And Metric is much more logical anyway.
stevetacular
(1/2) Shhhh, that doesn't matter. I could argue about how the only thing that makes more sense about metric is temperature, but seriously
whoputthebop
It's only more logical for math. In terms of general use imperial is more sensible. Ex. in that picture there is 45kg variation vs 77lbs.
ObsLamprey
It's also logical for comparing different base units. 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg, and 1000 liters of water is one cubic meter.
whoputthebop
Also true, though frankly I don't do that with any frequency.
stevetacular
(2/2) we should get on the wagon. It has nothing to do with national pride, it's just irritating. Why do socket wrenches have different #?
CelineyBeanie31
because you said, "Shhhh," I automatically read this in a whisper
stevetacular
It should be a whisper, because (I wish I could say anything at all in a smaller font)
