From emaciated to gigantic beefcake
One of the first movie roles Bale took on after The Machinist, was that of superhero Batman. Right: the muscular action hero who manages to save the fictional city of Gotham from all kinds of bad guys. After shooting The Machinist, Bale had six months left to transform his body again. In his own words, he stuffed himself with food as much as possible, and exercised a lot to fit into the famous Batsuit.
