7 Movies That Christian Bale Completely Changed His Body For

5. Trevor Reznik €“ The Machinist

What do you do after you€™ve obtained the physique of a Greek God in just two years? Well if you€™re Christian Bale, you spend the next two years throwing that irresistible body in the trash. This wasn€™t just weight loss; Bale practically malnourished himself completely to fit the role of depressed insomniac Trevor Reznik in The Machinist. Even Director Brad Anderson was stricken with shock on the first day of shooting, completely taken aback at how far Christian Bale took his fitness routine to properly match the character. This was not something Brad Anderson demanded out of Bale for the role either, Bale is just that dedicated to acting. The details of this hefty weight loss are reported as Bale killing 63 pounds, going from 173 to 110 pounds within roughly two years. What was his diet? One apple and one can of tuna every day. I personally would probably rather die than be subjected to that.
