You won’t catch Christian Bale with a fresh gel set anytime soon. The Thor: Love And Thunder star says that of all the physical transformations he underwent to play menacing villain Gorr the God Butcher, having long nails was the hardest one.
“It rendered me completely incapable of everything. I was pathetic,” the actor told Deadline at the film’s Hollywood premiere. “I found myself thinking things like, ‘I don’t think I can walk because I’ve got long nails.’ It affected my brain. I was like, ‘I can’t eat, I’ve got long nails.’ I was trying to type. I couldn’t do anything.”
