More Information

Did You Know..

Christian Bale (Actor) .. Dieter Dengler

Born: January 30, 1974 in Haverfordwest

Best Known For: Portraying Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

Early-life: Christian Charles Philip Bale was born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, on January 30, 1974. He has three older sisters. His father was a commercial pilot, his mother a circus dancer. Performing runs in the family - his grandfather was a comedian and children's entertainer, while his great uncle was an actor and John Wayne's stand-in for two movies. Christian was raised in England, Portugal and California, and made his acting debut in a cereal commercial in 1983.

Career: At the age of 10, Christian made his West End debut in The Nerd, opposite Rowan Atkinson. He was hand-picked from 4,000 auditionees to take the lead role in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun in 1987. Unlike many child stars, he has successfully made the transition to serious grown-up actor. Films since include Little Women, The Portrait of a Lady, Velvet Goldmine, American Psycho, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Shaft, Reign of Fire, Equilibrium and The Machinist. His status soared after playing Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins and its sequels. His other recent films have included The Prestige, 3:10 to Yuma, Terminator Salvation, Public Enemies, The Fighter (for which he won an Oscar) and American Hustle.

Quote: 'What the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? There's got to be something a little bit loose in there.'

Trivia: Bale lost a more than four stone to play the emaciated lead character in The Machinist, then had to bulk up immediately for his role in Batman Begins.
