Christian Bale, who plays Batman in the box office smash, The Dark Knight, is on the cover of the August 2008 issue of GQ Magazine, UK. Christian Bale, one of my all time favorite actors, opens up in the interview about his daughter, wife, doing risky stunts, and how he handles being recognized in the streets. The accompanying photoshoot by Vincent Peters stays true to Bale’s dark and melancholic vibe. Here are a couple of excerpts from the interview: On doing risky stunts even though he has a family to think about: “People will say, Why is he still doing this crazy sh*t?’ But I’m OK with that. I’d like my daughter to see me do these things, as I saw my father do some crazy things and learnt to appreciate it. My philosophy isn’t so much, ‘Do what I do.’ It’s more, ‘Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.’” On the possibility of winning an Oscar someday: “Look, I’m human, and I guess I can’t help but like it when someone says they like my work. If someone wanted to jump up and down and go, ‘You nailed that part. You. Are. F*cking. Fantastic,’ of course I’d be riding high on that. But before that happens, I’ll just have a couple of drinks with my pals.”
