8 Embarrassing First Jobs Famous Filmmakers Endured

3. Christian Bale Shows Off Some Slick Dance Moves For A Pac-Man Cereal Commercial

Long before he was cast as Batman Christian Bale was a budding child actor looking for work where he could find it. He launched his career in a series of adverts, with perhaps the most embarrassing being the one for Pac-Man cereal, which might just be the most eighties thing in existence. He and three other kids jump around to a horrible €“ but insanely catchy €“ jingle about the cereal, and they're super excited because it contains a marshmallow version of Ms. Pac-Man. They€™re so thrilled they do a choreographed dance around a cheap looking set, and young Christian gets to show off some surprisingly advanced moves for his age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPMvGWMrupw This commercial is about a million miles away from the mega-serious Bale everybody knows and loves now, and it€™s supremely doubtful that he€™d thank anybody who reminds him of it.
