Love that bbc knows us.
Love that for us 😌
Thanks guys. Kudos
thanks i guess
😅👍🏻
Seeing Christian smiling so much throughout this interview is a joy to watch.
Honestly, everytime Ali interviews someone, you know, you're always in for a treat. With Christian Bale, it's a massive feast. He asks questions no one else does and every one wants to be asked. One of the best interviewers with one of the best actors of our time.
Man I'm still picking up the pieces of my mind from realising the dude doesn't have an American accent.
I agree, one of the very very best. I love this guy because he can play anything.
I do like the "cheers mate." at the end, probably quite high praise from Christian Bale.
says it in most interviews
I don't think I have ever seen Christian Bale smile. He is always so intense!
No. He isn't. He's been pretty lighthearted in many of his interviews for the past several years. I think it somewhat depends on the interviewer's energy. If the interviewer is tight, so tends to be Christian. This interviewer was at ease and so was Christian. Also the man seems to always be working - often doing press for one movie while in the middle of making another. He's got his Pale Blue Eye facial hair going on in this video I think. I'll bet sometimes with all the jet lag and traveling and overlapping duties he's just plumb tired. It's hard to project upbeat energy when you're just beat!
Many people EXPECT to see him being tense or intense - so that's what they see. Look at interviews with Matt Damon and him for Ford V. Ferrari for instance. He's joking and laughing in those too. You still have a couple of people in this comment section that are saying he was 'intense' in THIS interview if that gives you any perspective. 🤣😂
since the fighter 2010 he is everytime smiling, dicky englund change his character
@@travisbickle5279 I don’t know that I give Dicky that credit. I think that being a Dad has changed him and his perspective on life. I think he was guarded after the rant for fear of being ambushed about it in interviews like RDJ has been about events in his past. Now that we are fourteen years out from that infamous four minutes of his life 🙄 I think he is also starting to relax. However, the interviewer in Bales GQ interview out in November comes close to referencing it. There’s always that interviewer whose looking for an angle to stand out.
Lastly I think he has come to be more accepting if the necessity for the press junkets and such. I also think if he’s been involved a lot behind the scenes of the movie, his motivation changes a little and he brings a different “hat” to the interview.
But yeah he has grown as a person like most of us have and he seems happy and even more quick than he used to be to make a joke these days.
Also, the man lives for his family. Making movies takes a back seat. You can tell. It’s great and I think he’s happier than he ever thought he could be. I read he was completely a nonbeliever in marriage…until he met the woman who is now his wife 😂😂❤️.
Christian Bale is really a psycho.@@nikkinewbie6014
He is really one of the best actor in our generation
I was Thinking the SAME EXACT thing!
I’ve been waiting for SO long for Ali to finally interview Christian Bale! Thank you so much!
I recently met Christian at a screening of ‘the pale blue eye’. I was kind of scared because I didn’t know what to expect but he was SO nice! I told him he was still my Laurie and he launched into how he hadn’t seen the new ‘little women’ but had worked with Timmy as he called him on a movie but Timmy got cut out. I was so surprised he just volunteered information. Lol
I've learned when you talk to a celeb you meet like a normal stranger you're meeting for the first time it's easier for the both of you. Rather than crying and screaming and asking for photos and stuff like that.
@@John-Doe-Yo oh I know. I meet them all the time and I’m weirdly calm. 🤣 it’s the before and after I freak.
Love Christian Bale, my favorite actor. Love to hear his real accent. He is a very serious actor when it comes to his roles. I have a lot of his movies however American Psycho got me hooked. Nice interview.
It's rare to see him smile so much during an interview xD
As always Ali is one of the best interviewers. And I don't know if it's just me but Christian really seems to be enjoying doing press nowadays, dudes laughing and enjoying himself in promoting Thor Love and Thunder and Amsterdam. Him talking about his accents in an out of interviews is gold.
Two most versatile actors ever -
Daniel Day Lewis
Christian Bale
Jake Gyllenhaal, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Pattinson even has been really impressing me and is up there too, for me.
Christian Bale is without a doubt the GOAT 🐐
Genuinely fascinated by how he inhabits a character. It’s great to see him relaxed in the series of interviews he’s done for “Amsterdam”.
Okay now, this has to be Bale's best interview yet! 👍
His game piece a few days ago was really good.
**GQ
I was literally asking myself yesterday as why Ali never interviewed Christian, and this came out?? Gosh I love this.
If a Red dead redemption movie ever gets made I’d love to see Christian as any character. I know he would kill it and he’s such a great performer definitely one of my favorites.
If they did it it would have to be a sequel not a remake as they never work, he could play an older Jack maybe
Red Dead done well would be PHENOMENAL
Watch Hostile
He would play Mac callander
his smile is so precious 😭
He's definitely lightened up a lot in recent years. Its good to see!
See and hearing bale being totally pumped and genuinely excited is something I’ve always see and it’s just wonderful. And his smile is a thumbs up
So glad they mentioned the fight scene in Ford vs Ferrari. It was brilliant 😂😂😂
Christian talking about Taylor may be my fav interview moment ever
this guy did a great job interviewing he got Christian Bale to be completely comfortable and free to chat.
Christian bale is a fantastic actor he has amazing talent and he still has a lot offer in acting
Starting my day watching this interview…what a humble man and great actor. Have a great day everyone
Great interviewer and my favorite actor! It is interesting to see that Bale smiled!😂
I've always found Christian Bales accent rather interesting, it's like a mix of american, british, Australian with a hint of South African.
I always thought that he has a Cockney accent
But he’s Welsh
@@Marciestclair if I'm not mistaken, he is English, born in Wales. I'll have to double check that fact though.
For years I had no idea what his real voice sounded like because he sounded different in almost every interview.
Ha! I can't believe he mentioned it at 8:45
@@123haninhk because he does😊
he is so good. i don't understand why Amsterdam wasn't more appreciated, it's a very cool movie, original story, great cast, funny, full of talent
I haven't seen Christian Bale so light and jovial - good interview Mr Plumb 👍
Greatest actor of world cinema ❤️
Legend Christian Bale 👑
Just came from watching a Spielberg interview. Bale's the greatest actor in the world, in my opinion, & this guy is a superb interviewer.
Such a fun amazing and insight full interview. You can tell Christian is enjoying himself and amused at the same time. Brilliant interviews , meaning all of your outstanding interviews color my day and are a pleasure to watch not only for the stars and artists on parade but you , yourself. Were here for you as well ..
Thank you so very much.
Props to the editor(s) for showing us the relevant clips!
I just saw Amsterdam!!! Amazing 👏 Christian Bale is my favorite actor. He elevates every movie he is in.
I made Christian Bale laugh with a Dr Doofenshmirtz meme, I mean what else can I ask for? Great interview, very down to earth guy. Can't wait to watch the movie!
I know he’s super intense and there was the scene where he went off on people on set years ago, but he’s so great.
He went off on one person, one time. It was a really bad day and it was unfortunate. But most people say he's awesome to work with. Amy Adams has worked with him 3 times. Christopher Nolan worked with him 4 times. Adam Mckay and David O Russell have worked with him multiple times
Met him a couple days ago. He was a nice guy, had a laugh with him
Yeah he went off at a sound guy 14 years ago
@@abovewater6918 I don’t think David o Russell is a great judge of character😂
👑The Greatest actor in our generation.
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
Shakib Khan's Inspiration 🤧
Ahh!! This is Gold ! Seeing Bale so chill and authentic. I love his movies but THIS is the real human … twitter pated🙌
A long time coming for this one ehhh. Finally the interview for the ages of internet
I have been waiting for Ali to do this interview.
I don't know how you do it Ali... Christian was definitely in guarded "press junket" mode to begin with - but so open and willing to talk by the end. Bravo!
My favorite actor and best batman in my opinion, it was absolute delight to watch u interview christian who doesnt like press and talk shows
It's nice to watch Christian Bale in a interview with Ali.
Great interview
After I got out of the movie, my first thought is Christian deserves an Academy Award nomination, at minimum. Such an interesting character that makes you pay attention. Great work.
I love these characters so so much. I absolutely love this film.
Finally! Ali and Christian Bale! Yay!!!
I can’t understand how this movie did so bad! It was absolutely wonderful! The script, the acting. Christian Bale should have been nominated for an Oscar. We need more movies like this.
Because the director groped his niece
I didn't even hear about it,now I have to see it.
Love him so much
Go Chris!! 😻😻😻
Ali “you are so gosh, darn expletive, deleted good”!!
he is just so lovely and down to earth....
Good God!! I can't wait for this!!!!!
Goah he's such a great actor!
Christian putting down his own singing voice after starring in Newsies is so funny
Truly one of the very best actors of all time...My favorite movie being "Last of the Mohicans"..
What a great interviewer!
Morbius and Gorr
So funny they loved 😂filming with Marron.
Six degrees of Kevin Bacon! It has Robert De Niro in the film. He was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.
Love this guy.
We need movies that made me with Christian Bale
What a great actor and without training - WOW!
This man is...awesome.
Gorr 🔥🔥
what a nice guy. so humble
Awesome Mr Plumb!
Great actor. Might have to see this.
Knowing the influence for Gorr, i’d actually love nothing more than the Come to Daddy music video have a re-edit with Gorr’s face
A great job as ever Ali. Does any interviewer ever dare approach THAT Terminator Salvation ON set meltdown?
you definitely get the best out of people...not seen many interviews with christian but he seems relaxed because you ask questions all the other cookie cutter interviewers don't !
Oooh like 2 Christian videos in the last week, sooo happy 🥰
Finally we know why he interviews in different accents.
what a legend
He’s been my favorite actor since I saw Batman begins.
Christian is just the best isn't he 🔥
dude, u just moved me :)))) awwww
watching chris bale talking in an interview like this feels like listening to ur quirky yet kind grandpa/uncle talking and u just sit there listening as 6 years old kid....
What is the secret to good glass eye acting, I love mr plum
I almost forgot about newbies until he brought up singing hahaha I will never forget buddy
Christian Bale with glass eye, Cillian Murphy with bags over his head😹
Bale can recreate the "When you jaywalk in Gotham" meme in a Nolan short for that "Hmmm" and Grocery bit.
This movie must have been so much fun to make
It's always a treat to hear Christian's natural accent because he does an American accent so well you forget.
This movie was awesome
Hearing Christian Bale's actual speaking voice is so jarring, he sounds like a builder :')
The fact that the six degrees of Kevin beacon is brought up is THE BEST THING THATS EVER HAPPENED IN AN ACTOR INTERVIEW OKAYYYY
Excellent and phenomenal actor. Thank you Lord for making this great man. Cheers and God bless.
Impressive very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's interview
Looking forward to seeing this, CB, still enjoying your perfect lap happy song as you beat the Fords, ok beat the Ferraris - say, let's build a new engine, eh? no wait, hey you can help me with story tellers then
Christian has done a lot more press than normal for this movie and any time he brings up singing it seems like none of the interviewers know he was in Newsies...
thank you. I was like, surely someone remembers that! It's the main reason i even saw american psycho, cause i knew him
since the fighter 2010 he is everytime smiling, dicky englund change his character,,..
Great interview. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s interview.
Very handsome
May the love of jean with you always
Loved Amsterdam. A quirky movie with many funny scenes. 👍
Christian Bale is so (expletive deleted) likeable.
Can’t believe my guy pulled out a phineas ferb reference in an interview with Christian bale
Nightmare! But not me, of Harry! 😅😅😅 I love you Harry, my handsome.
I had no idea he was English. I feel like I’ve been living under a rock.
Look look It's Him!!!! It's MEEE!!!
Ali has cracked Christian Bale! Now to move to the hardest difficulty: TOMMY LEE JONES (the interviewer destroyer- Final Boss )
