I would love to be on the wall in the Bale household when Christian
got in to a mood and his wife told him to stuff it. Ah yes, that would
be awesome.
Christian Bale described his wife as “strong” and ‘feisty” and said
said she, “doesn’t take any nonsense”. It seems that in real life,
movie stars are just like us regular folk and don’t get away with
everything, in the presence of the ones that love us.
He also said she enjoys the characters he brings home. “My attitude
does change at home, depending on which character I’m playing, but Sibi
likes that. She thinks it’s quite cool. You can look at it in two ways.
You can think, ‘That poor woman, forced to put up with that.’ Or, ‘What
an incredibly lucky woman, who gets to be with all these different,
guys all the time.’”
I’m guessing she thinks the latter.
He says he brings his work home with him, but does it confuse his
daughter? He didn’t address that issue, but I bet he’s always the same
with her, no matter what character he’s playing at the moment. He’s
always daddy to her.
