celeb news Christian Bale kisses Leonardo Dicaprios butt; Thanks him for his leftovers

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

Christian Bale says he owes his career to Leonardo DiCaprio passing on roles: 'Thank you, Leo'

"Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it's only because he's passed on it beforehand." 

 

Christian Bale is taking time out to thank the man who unintentionally helped him become the star he is today: Leonardo DiCaprio. 

 

The Amsterdam actor cheekily credited his cinematic success to DiCaprio for turning down roles in prominent films that he was then subsequently able to audition for and land himself. 

 

"Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it's only because he's passed on it beforehand," Bale told GQ in a candid interview. "It doesn't matter what anyone tells you. It doesn't matter how friendly you are with the directors. All those people that I've worked with multiple times, they all offered every one of those roles to him first."

 

"So, thank you, Leo, because literally, he gets to choose everything he does," Bale concluded. "And good for him, he's phenomenal."

Christian Bale is taking time out to thank the man who unintentionally helped him become the star he is today: Leonardo DiCaprio. 

The Amsterdam actor cheekily credited his cinematic success to DiCaprio for turning down roles in prominent films that he was then subsequently able to audition for and land himself. 

"Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it's only because he's passed on it beforehand," Bale told GQ in a candid interview. "It doesn't matter what anyone tells you. It doesn't matter how friendly you are with the directors. All those people that I've worked with multiple times, they all offered every one of those roles to him first."

"So, thank you, Leo, because literally, he gets to choose everything he does," Bale concluded. "And good for him, he's phenomenal."

While knowledge that DiCaprio seemingly gets priority preference on roles might draw others into a game of not-so-friendly competition, Bale insisted that he's never taken it personally when casting directors pass him up in favor of the Titanic actor. 

"No. Do you know how grateful I am to get any damn thing? I mean, I can't do what he does," Bale shared. "And he does it magnificently. But I would suspect that almost everybody of similar age to him in Hollywood owes their careers to him passing on whatever project it is."

One role in particular that DiCaprio reportedly declined was the axe-wielding, yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman in the 2000 horror film American Psycho. When DiCaprio ultimately parted ways with the project, Bale was able to step into the role which would later catapult him into mainstream success. 

Although, as Bale recalled, becoming Bateman came with its own financial caveats. "They had paid me the absolute minimum they were legally allowed to pay me," he said. "I remember one time sitting in the makeup trailer and the makeup artists were laughing at me because I was getting paid less than any of them."

 

At the time, Bale said that "nobody wanted me to do" the film apart from director Mary Harron, which contributed to his lower wage.

 

"They said they would only make it if they could pay me that amount," Bale explained. "I was prepping for it when other people were playing the part. I was still prepping for it. And, you know, it moved on. I lost my mind. But I won it back."

So basically anything without Leonardo Dicaprio in it is a confirmed leftover scrap that is beneath him . Imagine being able to be in any movie you want to be in. King of the world indeed.. ?

When will your acting faves reach this level? Never OK 

[Karla Cabello]

not #thankyouleo 

[Gossip_Boy]

Both are two of my favorite yt actors. With Leo you know that most of the time you’ll get both critical acclaim and good box office numbers so I’m not surprised he’s everyone’s first choice. He really is that bi.tch.

[Phaunzie]

I knew Leo was one of those guys that don't wipe and wash their butts. I could only hope Christian Bale rinsed and used Listerine afterwards.

 

Anywho on I am glad those leftovers lead to a great actor career for Mr. Bale.

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

This is why he gets yactchs filled with super models.. The man earned it! ? Imagine being litterally THE STANDARD. And he does like 1 movie a year FOR FUN... Since like 1996...too which is like the beginning of time for me ?

Yeah, every “group” of actors have a top dog who gets first choice at all the good stuff. Lots of actresses who were active in the 90s have talked about losing roles to Meryl, Maggie Smith once remarked upon Judi Dench getting first choice, and so on.
 

It makes sense that Leo is #1 for white men in his age range. 

[Park Jinyoung]

It’s funny cause there’s probably someone out there for whom Christian Bale is their Dicaprio. And it just keeps going down the ladder.

I’d actually like to clean it out for him with my tongue then.

Sadly same 

[BOOMBAYAH]

Ctfu, I don’t know if it’s a pride thing but if I was as celebrated and successful as Christian I wouldn’t admit this. 

[dirrtydiana]

Bale could’ve done titanic but Leo couldn’t do Dark Knight

 

[AlanRickman1946]

Leo doesn't have the sense of humour to do American Psycho

[Dingdong123]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Sandra Bullock are literally the last remaining Hollywood superstars who can carry films so I’m not surprised

[Mr. Duff]

Very humble of him to say this. He is THE CHRISTIAN BALE. He has achieved a lot as well. But kudos to the humility, keep doing you Christian.
