Christian Bale - The Shirtless Batman

Does Batman Begins ring a bell? Oh yes definitely! Christian Bale our super hot hero. Underneath that Batman costume is a great body any man will kill for! Born on January 30 January 1974 is a Screen Actors Guild Award-nominated, Saturn Award-winning Welsh-born English actor whose film credits include Empire of the Sun, American Psycho, Equilibrium, The Machinist, and Batman Begins. Bale is known for his mastery of accents and harsh regimens of shedding and gaining weight (particularly for The Machinist, Batman Begins and, most recently, Rescue Dawn). Before he found success in playing Batman, he was heavily involved in independent films.

At the early age pf 13, Bale played the starring role of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun. He then caught the public eye with that portrayal of an English boy who becomes separated from his parents and subsequently finds himself in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Since then, he has portrayed a wide range of characters. Bale is especially noted for his cult following. The tenth anniversary issue of Entertainment Weekly hailed him as one of the "Top 8 Most Powerful Cult Figures of the Past Decade," citing his impressive cult status on the Internet. In a 2007 poll of IMDb users, he was voted their favorite actor who is under 40. Entertainment Weekly also called Bale one of the "Most Creative People in Entertainment," after his dynamic performance in American Psycho.
