Christian Bale: "For my children, I'm always a superhero"

Being a superhero in the cinema and in life is not enough for anyone, but Christian Bale successfully copes with this role on the screen and in life! Soon a new film will be released with the participation of the actor "Foes", so now Bale's personality is closely watched. Christian told about the family and children, about the specifics of work in the film industry and the importance of studying American history.

In the new film, Christian Bale will appear in the form of a stern captain, who rethinks his life, the value of human life and forgiveness. The story of the hero's journey with the blood enemy - the leader of the Cheyenne tribe, already foreshadows a great interest on the part of film critics and viewers. The actor admitted that it was incredibly difficult to get used to the role:

"I really got hooked on the script and the hero. This is an atypical western, where there is a good cowboy and a bad Indian - there is no dichotomy, this is a film about a complex historical era, the ability to recognize the importance of another world different from yours. My hero realizes that his work is comparable to genocide and he is in the melting pot of building a new America. He is going through a complex and multistage transformation of personal experiences, from hatred to forgiveness. "

Christian Bale admits that he is concerned about the chosen political course of modern America:

"I'm British, but I have great respect for America. My children are born here and full citizens of the state, so I am concerned about the madness and attitude towards migrants. "

Christian Bale ready for any sacrifices for the sake of the role

Now in the 43-year-old actor it's hard to find out his heroes Patrick Bateman or Bruce Wayne, Bale said goodbye to the length of his hair and gained weight. How does he manage to radically change his appearance and is it not reflected in health. Christian answered that for the sake of a good script and director is ready for such victims:

"I would never risk health, drop and gain 20 kilograms, discolor hair. Although, I confess that for the first time this was recklessness on my part, and I did not think about the consequences. I smoked a lot, drank whiskey and left weight. Now, when I'm forty, I follow the recommendations of specialists and I think about health. "
Christian immediately agreed to the shooting in the movie

Acting is a disease?

The actor compared his love of cinema with a psychiatric illness:

"Acting is not the most mentally healthy profession, you have to do it if you love your job. Each role is living another life, meeting with amazing people, but at the same time, it is a seal in our subconscious. That's why I would not want my children to do this only if it's as important to them as they are for me. "
