When it comes to "Iron Man", the first thing that fans think of is Robert Downey Jr.; When it comes to "Captain America" and "Thor," it's natural to equate them with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth. This kind of strong "substitution" is actually a "double-edged sword" for professional actors with professional pursuits, which can not only quickly increase their popularity, but also may limit their later development. Recently, Christian Bale, a famous Hollywood actor who played the superhero "Batman", was interviewed by American magazines and revealed that many friends advised him not to make the "Batman" series of movies, thinking that it would ruin his career, but his attitude was, "Let the horse come." ”
Christian Bale
Because he often loses weight and gains weight for his role, the super dedicated Christian Bell is called "rubber man" by many Chinese film fans, and his experience of collaborating with director Zhang Yimou in "Jinling Thirteen Chao" has also made him a Hollywood superstar familiar to Chinese audiences.
In his latest media interview, Bale highlighted one of his most iconic film characters, Batman. Bell called the character a "freak," wandering around the city every day in a batsuit. "A lot of people said to me at the time: You can't play this role, otherwise you're finished, and you'll always be just Batman, which is equivalent to professional suicide." 」 But the answer that Bell gave at that time was, "Let the horse come, I want to act, let's see if what you say will happen." ”
In Bale's view, if he does not have the skills and ability to overcome these concerns, then he deserves to face the end of his career. Fortunately, with his excellent performance, Bale not only portrayed the most in-depth "Batman" in history, but also did not let himself fall into the "shackles of superheroes". Years later, he can still impress fans with other types of roles and frequently win important awards such as Oscars and Golden Globes, and the "Batman" series of movies is just one stop on his way to becoming a great actor.
In the interview, Bale thanked director Christopher Nolan for giving him the opportunity to play this "extraordinary, representative, and probably most well-known to me" role, and most importantly, because of starring in the "Batman" series of movies, Bale was able to pay off the mortgage, "unloading the big stone in my heart, you know, this is my dream since I was a child." ”
Heath Ledger
Bale also mentions his partner, Heath Ledger, who played the "Joker" in The Dark Knight. "Oh my God, his performance was so wonderful. When I saw it, I said, hey, we're not in trouble. Bell's "trouble" is what he discussed in his first meeting with director Nolan, and the villain role will always be more interesting, "We must not let Batman become boring against the background of the Joker." But sadly, when I first sat there watching a movie, I thought, by comparison, that my Batman is indeed a bit more boring than the Joker..."
Bell praised Heath Ledger, a great actor who died tragically in 2008, "Heath is amazing, it's a hell of a bunch, and I'm lucky to have the opportunity to work with him." "Bell still remembers that when the crew went to go go-karting together, Heath Ledger easily defeated the crew's stunt racers and won the first place, which stunned everyone," Heath told us very calmly at the time, because his father was a professional racing driver..."
