Acting legend Christian Bale has made numerous movies and has earned millions of fans from around the world. Ever since his breakout role in Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, the actor has come across multiple genres and different projects in his career.
However, although Christian Bale is appreciated by his fans, the actor faces difficulty in finding a similar level of support at home. Admitting how his family and children consider him the “worst actor ever”, Bale shared his feelings during an interview with The Guardian.
Christian Bale’s Star Power And Global Popularity
From critically acclaimed projects and family-friendly animations to blockbuster movies like Batman, Christian Bale has done it all in his decades-long career. Initially beginning his journey towards popularity with Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, at the age of 13, Bale achieved global fame soon enough.
Working with acclaimed filmmakers like Spielberg and Christopher Nolan, the British actor was hailed for his performance in American Psycho. Playing the titular role in the psycho-thriller, the actor catapulted his career to the next level. And somehow, Bale still manages to stay relevant in the entertainment industry.
Being an Academy Award winner and making over $5.5B in box office receipts throughout his career, Christian Bale has earned a reputation in Hollywood. But more than that, the actor has acquired immense fame and created a position in the hearts of millions. But sadly, Bale failed to create a similar impact at his house.
Christian Bale Has Difficulty Finding Support At Home
During his interview with The Guardian, Christian Bale reflected upon how he is appreciated by fans and critics alike but finds it hard to extract love and support from his own family. Discussing his decades-long journey during the interview, the actor reflected upon how his acclaimed performance in Nolan’s Batman trilogy, cemented him in the hearts of DC fans.
Nonetheless, despite earning respect and love from the world, Christian Bale is often criticized by his family, especially his kids for his work. Speaking with the outlet, the actor revealed that his children with Sandra Blažić consider him the worst actor. He also discussed that his children often question how he even gets paid for his work.
“They think I’m the worst actor ever. My daughter can’t believe that anyone pays me.”
Well, the actor didn’t discuss if and how his family’s criticism affects him, but he certainly mentioned how he tried changing genres to explore his forte. Thus, it can also be alleged that probably because of the lack of love and support from his family members, Bale kept quitting Hollywood. But nothing is for certain.
