Christian Charles Philip Bale is a famous Hollywood star who is known for his outstanding acting skills and versatile looks. Popular Christian Bale movies like ‘American Psycho,’ ‘Empire of the Sun,’ and ‘Batman Begins’ are considered his breakthrough performances. Apart from various international Award nominations, he has received Golden Globe Award twice and Academy Award once.

Christian appeared on the film screen for the first time at the age of 10 with a small role in the biographical movie ‘Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna.’ Later, he featured in many popular movies with independent roles like ‘Mio in the Land of Faraway’ (1987), ‘Treasure Island’ (1990), ‘Swing Kids’ (1993), and ‘Little Women’ (1994). He got his most desired leading role in 2000 in the movie ‘American Psycho.’ Bale worked hard on his appearance as well as on his acting skills to do justice to the strong character of ‘Patrick Bateman’. The film proved to be his biggest hit and was declared his best work to date.

After the release of many flop films like ‘Shaft’ (2000), ‘Equilibrium’ (2002), and ‘The Machinist’ (2004), Bale rose to fame once again with his role in ‘Batman Begins’ (2005). His performance helped him in achieving fame as a brilliant actor and he also received an ‘MTV Movie Award for Best Hero.’

In the following years, he performed as a voice-over artist in ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ and ‘Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.’ Bale was recently seen as Ken Miles in James Mangold’s movie ‘Ford v Ferrari.’ Currently, he is busy on his three upcoming projects ‘Thor: Love and Thunder,’ ‘Amsterdam,’ and ‘The Pale Blue Eye.’
