    That film was just unreal.
    He lost about 6 stone to play that role, he was mindblowing in it.

    I cant believe people think Bale is great and yet they slate the acting in great shows like Fair City.

    Has anyone heard anything about Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent. He is a damn good actor, and highly under-rated.

    Yeah Eckhart does pretty well in it alright. Better than feckin Tommy Lee Jones anyway.

    he actually wanted to go lower apparently but the directors wouldn't let him. he was already a serious health risk at what he was.

    He lived on a can of tuna and an apple a day for a while. The director had no idea he was going to go to those lengths either, Bale just turned up to meet him before production started. Apparently the director just expected him to lose a few pounds and wear baggy jeans.

    What's more dangerous is he put back on all his weight (with a bit of interest) to beef up for Batman Begins.

    I still rate his performance in Empire of the Sun a little higher due to the age he was when he played the role.

    But yes - the machinist made for difficult viewing but staggering nonetheless.

    Just read this in the humour forum thought it was funny

    A young man called directory assistance. "Hello, operator, I would like the telephone number for Mary Jones in Phoenix, Arizona."
    "There are multiple listings for Mary Jones in Phoenix," the operator replied. "Do you have a street name?"
    The young man hesitated, and then said, "Well, most people call me Ice Man."

    Might cheer u up Xavi!
