The 10th Anniversary issue of Entertainment
Weekly crowned Christian Bale as one of the "Top 8 Most Powerful
Cult Figures" of the past decade, citing his incredible and
legendary cult status on the Internet. EW also calls Bale one of
the "Most Creative People in Entertainment" after his brilliant
turn as the psychopathic yuppie serial killer in American Psycho
(2000). And Premiere lauded him as one of the "Hottest Leading
Men Under 30." Christian Bale has garnered a huge international
audience ever since he wowed critics with his devastating
performance in Steven Spielberg's WWII epic Empire of the Sun
(1987).
Bale made his professional debut opposite British comedian Rowan
Atkinson on the London West End stage. He auditioned with 4000
other kids for the coveted role of James Graham in Spielberg's
Empire of the Sun. Bale received a special citation for Best
Performance by a Juvenile Actor from the National Board of
Review -- an award specially created for his performance in
Empire. In the following decade, Welsh-born Bale has appeared in
Shakespeare, dramas and comedies demonstrating a versatility,
depth and range that has made him one of the best reviewed
actors today and one of the most popular actors on the Internet.
Bale is the youngest in a family of 3 older sisters (Erin,
Sharon, and Louise). |
