Bale is a former child star turned very versatile leading man, with a reputation for taking any role that challenged him. While his most famous role prior to the Batman films was his performance as Patrick Bateman in the film adaptation of ''Literature/AmericanPsycho'', he's also known for being willing to [[DyeingForYourArt radically transform his body]] for a role. He lost 63 pounds for ''Film/TheMachinist'', immediately gained it back and then some (100) to play everyone's favorite masked vigilante in ''Film/BatmanBegins'', ''then'' went skeletal again to star in ''Rescue Dawn'', ''then'' gained it back for ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', ''then'' went skeletal '''''again''''' to star in ''Film/TheFighter''. And then made ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. And then put on 43 pounds to play an overweight man in ''Film/AmericanHustle''. Most recently, he's put on ''even more'' weight to [[https://consequenceofsound.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/christian-bale-dick-cheney-adam-mckay-vice.png?w=807 play]] former US Vice-President Dick Cheney in ''Film/{{Vice}}'' with [[UncannyValley terrifying accuracy.]]

The rant was turned into various [[StupidStatementDanceMix dance mixes]], such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcSUonLW4t4 "Bale Out"]] (with an obligatory cameo by Music/BarbraStreisand), which is quite an EarWorm even by Bale's admission.
