Sorry to dig up an old thread but I just watched the Machinist last night and holy crap what a transformation from Reign of Fire to the Machinist to Batman. Thats probably the most insane transformation I have ever seen someone go through. And he gained the 100lbs in a year!

Reign Of Fire (2002) 185lbs

The Machinist (2004) 122lbs

Batman (2005) 222lbs

I agree, the "BATMAN" body suits him just fine!

increasing definition, i.e. reducing body fat gives the illusion of appearing bigger in size. this is exactly what the illusion that bodybuilder tries to achieve come show time. there is certainly nothing massive abut Christian Bale when he is in top shop as he is far less than 200 lbs at a tad under 6'.

HGH is huge in Holloywood and has been for the past decade..many actors are no strangers to using gear either..there is no drug testing in Hollywood

im more interested in what he used to drop down in weight like that for the machinest. I know they said he had an apple and a can of tuna a day but WTF... i'ld make it about half a day before i saying fuck that. thats beyond self control to do that. Coke? adderall, meth?

Wasn't he moving back towards his Machinist appearance for a role as an addict?

IMDb, here I come...

The Fighter (2010)

Starring as Dickie Eklund in "The Fighter".

I thought most Hollywood celebrities used HGH...

 

[BillHicksFan]

He would have used drugs to lose weight for the role in The Machinist and he would have had a kick ass cycle to build muscle for the role of Batman. Million dollars contracts for this guy, he's gonna need to take a few short-cuts.

I heard that he actually grew out of the batsuit and had to lose weight as a result.

i like him as an actor any way he looks. i think in rescue dawn he ate maggots. he's freakin' dedicated. i've liked him in his roles since i first saw him in 1987 when he was a little boy in empire of the sun.
