Christian Bale drops out of Ferrari biopic because he’s just too darn healthy
Christian Bale doesn’t have the same reputation for being a hardcore method actor that Daniel Day Lewis does, but he’s still known for being willing to do some pretty crazy stuff to his body for a role. He famously lost more than 60 pounds for The Machinist, bulked back up for Batman Begins, cut off his own finger (to match the look of his identical twin) for The Prestige, lost a bunch of weight again for The Fighter, gained more weight for American Hustle, and then probably lost some weight after that. Apparently, though, there’s a limit to what Christian Bale is willing to do.
