The Hollywood star Christian Bale has loaded on the pounds for a new role and cut off his thick hair for a fresh crop at the age of 43. He is barely recognisable with a shaved head.
The American Hustle actor is getting ready for his new role as Dick Cheney in the new film, Backseat. He is committing to body transformations in taking on movie parts.
His latest change has made him almost unrecognisable that none can understand that he plummeted for The Machinist. Even, to complete his transformation, he also sported a clean-shaven face.
This time, the Oscar-winning actor has gained weight to transform his body into the role of US Vice President Dick Cheney.
In the same movie, Steve Carrell will join as former Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and Sam Rockwell will play the role as Bush.
Christian lately revealed to Variety Studio that he had been "eating many pies" to put on weight for his part as the 46th Vice President from 2001-2009.
Christian Bale first drops his weight to just 120lbs for a movie part by transforming himself for The Machinist in 2004. Then, eating only an apple and a can of tuna a day he lost 65lbs.
In 2005, for the role of Batman, he gained 70lbs and 30lbs in muscle. In 2010, for the role of The Fighter, he lost weight again, then again gained for a dad bod in 2013’s American Hustle.
