British actor
Born: January 30, 1974
Christian Charles Philip Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK on January 30, 1974, to English parents Jennifer “Jenny” (James) and David Bale. His mother was a circus performer and his father, who was born in South Africa, was a commercial pilot. The family lived in different countries throughout Bale’s childhood, including England, Portugal, and the United States. Bale acknowledges the constant change was one of the influences on his career choice.
His first acting job was a cereal commercial in 1983; amazingly, the next year, he debuted on the West End stage in “The Nerd.” A role in the 1986 NBC mini-series Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (1986) caught Steven Spielberg’s eye, leading to Bale’s well-documented role in Empire of the Sun (1987). For the range of emotions he displayed as the star of the war epic, he earned a special award from the National Board of Review for Best Performance by a Juvenile Actor.
Christian Bale’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
- Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.
- If you’re doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
- I tend to think you’re fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
- It’s got to do with putting yourself in other people’s shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.
