Bale's new flick called "The Fighter," and he plays Dicky Eklund, half brother and trainer for Boston's "Irish" Mickey Ward, a boxer. Of role as a Christian told reporters, I had to take it right to the cusp that I could wear makeup from being a drug user using makeup, it cleared up Dicky when he came out of prison.
I had to do it without the luxury of losing large amounts of weight in between, because we shot the film so quickly.
