“Is he channelising his inner Patrick Bateman?”: Christian Bale Reportedly Asked His Assistant To Smell His Armpits Before Every Red Carpet
Christian Bale recently gained spotlight for his performance in Thor: Love and Thunder. Fans were raving about his performance as soon as the film hit the theatres. Some even wished that his character, Gorr, would have had more screen time because the actor played the role so well. It is no doubt that an actor as successful as him is bound to have some eccentric habits that no one knows about. Now, one of those habits has become public knowledge.
Christian Bale is eccentric, to say the least
The Dark Knight actor’s advisor, Harrison Cheung, is also the author of the actor’s biography titled Christian Bale: The Inside Story of the Darkest Batman. Thus, it is no surprise that he knows things about the actor that fans don’t. Recently, the author revealed that he had to smell the actor’s armpits right before the actor walked down a red carpet.
It is no doubt that an actor as big as him would not want anything to go wrong while he walks down the carpet with hundreds of photographers catching his every move. Moreover, he probably wishes to be known as the actor who is willing to transform himself to fit a role than an actor who smells bad.
Christian Bale’s biography gives a glimpse of his personal life
Perhaps, in some weird way, the eccentric act of smelling arm-pits helped the author and the actor break the walls of awkwardness, which is something very essential when someone is telling your story. Moreover, the biography, written by Harrison Cheung and Nicola Pittam, bares the actor’s intimate life details, ranging from his trauma to his love for the work he does. The biography was the first time that the world got a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes of the phenomenal actor’s life.
