Christian Bale - Interview (April 13, 2000) 

Now let's take a look at Paul Allen's interview

What a great idea to have the author the director and the actor in the same room at once...

Christian Bale is so handsome

Bale still looks in role lol

Bale's face at the beginning lmao. He looks so evil

I had no idea American psycho was supposed to be a comedy. It makes sense in hindsight after watching it. I was laughing more than I thought I should be.

That’s so nice they’re all sitting round a table. Wish they would do more interviews like this now

Just found out Christian Bale is British. He has one of the best fake American accents I've ever heard

He’s ridiculously handsome, Bale

"He goes from psychopath to psychotic...innit?" cracked me up😂

I still to this day cannot get over the fact christian bale is british. He nailed the american accent so well. I find myself waiting for a slip up. A tiny peak of british accent coming through to no avail! brilliant brilliant actor

friendly reminder christian is the voice actor for howl pendragon

I love Christian bales accent. He was born in my town.

The book and movie written by people in their early 30s, starring actors all in their mid to late 20s, & directed by a woman in her mid 40s. All together made an excellent satirical film.

Not only did he not get stuck playing the villain, he went on to play Batman, the greatest superhero, in the greatest superhero movies ever made.

Why is this the first time I've heard Christian Bale speak with an English accent 😀

6:26 if you're just here to hear Christian Bale's natural accent like me

Damn impressive that he did a British accent for this whole interview frfr

Bro I forgot christian had a accent and got completely awestruck for a sec he is SUCH A AMAZING ACTOR

Interviews were so genuine back then. It’s all fake these days. All publicity. Miss those old days of film and movies.

I could stare at and listen to Christian Bale speak all day, he's just a pleasure for all the senses😍

He was just so handsome that year

Dude was 26 here! Cannot believe it.

0:35 "I can't believe he had a better haircut than mine" lol

I’m fascinated by bales British accent. He does American so well??????

god christian bale is fucking fit😭😭

Bale really goes from bateman to batman

I often forget how drop dead gorgeous Christian was back in these days.

Lots of British actors get props for doing "great" american accents, but for a lot of them something almost always seems off, even if its just a certain word they get wrong. But with Bale, I literally didn't know he wasn't American until I was like 21.

imagine treating Christian Bale like he never mattered to production of the film when he literally made this movie what it is. sure BEE is an absolute genius, Mary made a once in a 100 year movie but they treat Christian likes he's roadkill...Leo couldn't have done it like Christian did and I'm tired of pretending like he could have. BTW Leo turned this down for The Beach. Bale was fucking masterful and he deserves to be praised every second of every day.

“you always laugh at him, never with him” perfectly sums up Patrick Bateman

wow i was barely a year old😭 Christian looks so handsome

Christian Bale is so very talented as an actor hope there are more films to come

Christian bale looks pissed

I’m not even fuckin gay but Christ alive Christian bale is attractive as fuck

imagine a world where bateman wasnt played by christian bale

Bale just oozes masculinity at such a young age. Shame we didn't see much of him in this interview.

Bale is one of the best actors..No one else could do this better

I also thought it was all a dream in the end. Finding out it wasn't is news to me.

The interviewer acts like he doesn't like the violence, but it's all he wants to talk about

It's funny to think Leo DiCaprio and Edward Norton were close to play Bateman. Maybe Leo would have been too young at the time, maybe Ed would have been great. But Christian was perfect

It’s amazing how well he played his American accent considering he is English, props to him

I came here for christian bale’s voice

Christian bale is still in role in this interview

Should edit the title to include the writer and the director are inteviewed also, was a much better video having all three of them interviewed.

“Well, thank you for this interview, I‘ve got to return some tapes”

Bale is so perfect

Hip to be square

Christian Bale got 100x hotter when I realised he was British

7:17 Patrick Bateman blending in with the skinwalkers nicely

interviewers are so annoying....stop cutting people off....you are here to ask questions

why was it titled christian bale interview if he said a maximum of two sentences

Back when people could speak without interruption

I really dislike they talk over each other. C. Bale the best.

it's like everyday people find out he is British😂, looking hot though

7:17 "what do you like about patrick bateman?" "what do i like? um, i like nothing about him i mean--"

I hear Christian Bale with a non-American accent and my brain goes "This is a lie this is fake"

I never knew Christian was even British

I want to read the book now.

I'd love to see the directors cut!

I can't believe they noticed the Paul Allen meme in the 2000s 😂

2:35 starts laughing like Patrick Bateman.

I can't look at bale without seeing Bateman

20 years later a movie can become memes...men turning to sigma males

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st Street, on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do 1, 000 now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

INTERVIEWER STOP INTERRUPTING BRET LET HIM TALK GOD I HATE IT WHEN INTERVIEWERS DO THIS IF YOU WONT LET THEM TALK DONT LET THEM ON I DONT CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH TAPE YOU HAVE IN YOUR DAMN CAMERA

I completely forgot he is British! He was perfect for this role. ❤

i’ve seen a lot of interviews of him over the last few years and i’m kind of used to his real accent, but it’s still super weird seeing him clean shaven and younger and not sounding like patrick bateman.

People in 2000: if Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman he'll be typecast as a psycho villain forever! People in 2019 watching Ford v. Ferrari: oh hey look, it's Batman.

Nice slick hair, let's go! 🙏👌👍👋😎

Bro how do you ask people questions and hurry and try to answer yourself lmao

As a young child in the south during the 80s. I had no idea that this kind of materialism existed back then. It didn't make it down here...thank goodness...I love how everyone is a copy and wears the same thing. Everyone remembers everybody wrong it's so great.

Didn’t care for the movie, not for me but had no idea Bale was British. Interesting.

I kinda see the recent popularity about this film since the movie is timeless in way, that everyone can relate. With the day and age of the internet, you clearly see the patterns. i don't have any idea how to formulate this properly, just a headcannon of mine

Damn even in 2000 they realized how much of a meme the business card scene was

He makes a hybrid accent.

That look that Bale gives at :036 is either because he's still in character or he's already suspected that Charlie Rose is a pervert!

“The book was labeled misogynistic and cynical…it was a best-seller”

Holy shit this interview was done on the day and year I was born

a good interview with christian bale

impressive, very nice. now let's see Paul Allen's interview (April 13, 2000)

This video was taken on the same day i was born

Key words. “In Patrick Batemans head” The killings were all in his head 😶

this is a great great interview. Even Charlie Rose doesnt screw it up

I cant believe you guys didnt know he was bri'ish.

Can that interviewer stop interrupting them? Damn…

thanks for having me

Idk where I’ve been but I never ever seen Mr Bale out of character . Therefore I had absolutely no idea that he was an Englishman. My Goodness he is soooooooo gd lookin. I wonder if it’s hard to pick up the accents of American plus all the different accents and personalities of ea state.

Charlie Rose is not a good interviewer. Like, all three of them prolly walked out there saying "what an idiot".

I have to return some video tapes

7:23 poor bateman

I think the movie makes more sense if it was mostly in Patrick Batemans head. If a person is having those dark thoughts as a result of such simple triggers, isn’t he almost as crazy as if he had acted upon those impulses?

It’s astonishing that Charlie Rose could get the guests he did for as long as he did.

Darkest character why he's still in the role 😂

Christian Bale at the top of his game.

The interview of Tom Cruise on Letterman upon which he based Bateman's manner is very interesting to watch. I believe it was Tom's first appearance on Letterman.

From Bateman to Batman

Let’s see Jared Leto’s interview

7:17

Thanks for the suporte R van
