Alec Baldwin and Christian Bale have a fair bit in common. Both are well-known actors and both have been accused of being particularly volatile, particularly after recordings of them going off surfaced.
Both actors have done some really great work that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.
But there are some profound differences. For example, one is going to trial for manslaughter stemming from the irresponsible use of a prop gun. The other is likely to never be in those shoes.
Christian Bale’s reputation as a method actor precedes him. He’s the kind of actor who doesn’t shy away from diving into the grittiest, most challenging aspects of his roles. Whether it’s consuming maggots and pig offal or enduring intense physical transformations, Bale’s dedication knows no bounds. However, when it comes to firearms, Bale draws a firm line.
