this is nothing compared to his role in The Machinist. That was just sick.

the homless guy under the bridge looks better than he does. oh my. his teeth look really bad. what’s up with this. why can’t he just make himself look bad with make up, like the joker did or even benjamin button. no need to do this. his kids, if any, and wife must be worried. eat a steak, please. Who wants to see a movie with someone who looks dead already. take care

He doesn’t look so thin in these photos. I know he’s lost a lot of weight in the past, but I think ‘the dangerous weight loss’ people are talking about in this case is just hype.

“From all the movies that I saw him in, he always manages to be upstaged by someone else.”

Say what!!!! Did you see Rescue Dawn? American Psycho? He was the lead in both those films and he did an amazing job. Heck he was effing brilliant and creepy as hell and sexy and funny all at once in American Psycho (what can I say, I like dark humour). But hey you’re entitled to your opinion. I’ll just end by saying that I vehemently disagree.

Yes Trillion. Exactly!

“Now that is a man I can get behind, forever and always. Team D’Onofrio.”

Freaking A! Full Metal Jacket, the Cell, Men In Black, Law and Order. Whatever role, the man is awe. some.

I love me some Bale too, no matter how he looks but I hope he doesn’t take it too far this time.

ugh. I’m not impressed AT ALL. infact I really hate it when actors do this. it’s desperate and pathetic. and dangerouse! bale should think about his wife and child.

also, why don’t the producers or whatever just cast a skinny guy to begin with, put some sickly make up on him and call it a day?
if you want an actor to play a fat character – get a fat actor. if you need a plain nerdy girl to play opposite megan fox – don’t hire Amanda Seyfried and give her glasses.

I understand part of being an actor is changing your look and that but it seems most actors and film makers care more about the big hoopla that comes their way as a result, rather then the film itself.

I highly doubt he does it for the Oscars or to try to get an Oscar. The dude doesn’t really do interviews except when forced to by the studio and generally never talks about anything, ever.

If he wanted an Oscar, he’d be out trying to get publicity for the “good” films he does and putting his name out there “for your consideration” and all that nonsense.

He’s just a nutty actor-like Daniel Day-Lewis. Both of them are completely crazy and get so into their characters that they never seem to stop during filming (Day-Lewis WAS Bill the Butcher, even when the cameras were off).

He seems to just enjoy getting way into characters and really feeling what that character would be feeling and really doing what the character would be doing.

By the way, “method” doesn’t necessarily mean that one goes to extremes nor does it mean that the person is weird for doing it. Method acting just refers to using feelings from within, rather than trying to manufacture them from the outside. Like if your character was sad because her fish died, but you’d never had a fish. You could either fake cry or recall a memory of your dead dog and cry for real.

love him – he is always able to lose himself in the role, through accent, movement, etc. it’s not the weight gains/losses that make an actor great – christian is an amazing actor at any weight. and i’d still hit it!
