Christian Bale was born on January 30, 1974, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Starting his career as a child, Bale emerged as one of the most versatile actors in the entertainment industry. It seems that performing is in his genes, with a mother who was a dancer and a clown and an older sister who was an actress. Even his grandfather was in the business, working as a stunt double for John Wayne on the 1962 film Hatari!

Christian Bale first enjoyed major feature film success in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987). Returning to the spotlight with the sadistic American Psycho (2000), he dropped more than 60 pounds for The Machinist (2004) before beefing up for a superhero role in Batman Returns (2005) and its two sequels. Bale won an Oscar for his performance in The Fighter (2010) and later earned recognition for his roles in American Hustle (2013), The Big Short (2015) and Vice (2018).

In 2009, Bale stepped into the role of John Connor for Terminator Salvation and also starred in Public Enemies, a film about mobster John Dillinger. In 2011, the actor took home both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for his performance as former welterweight boxer Dicky Eklund in The Fighter (2010), directed by David O. Russell. He then re-teamed with Nolan for the final installment of the Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

Bale has been married to Sibi Blazic, a former model and personal assistant, since 2000. The couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Emmeline, in 2005. In 2014, Bale and Blazic welcomed their second child, son Joseph.
