We don’t talk about Christian Bale as much as we should. As far as dramatic actors who kick ass with a terrifying intensity, he’s been surpassed by Michael Fassbender and Ryan Gosling of late, and even in the last two Batman films, he was a mere afterthought, rightly so, to Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy.
But Bale, who turned 39 year, is awesome, and his filmography, everything from The Prestige to The Machinist to Howl’s Moving Castle to American Psycho to Rescue Dawn, is largely stellar, with a few occasionally amusing hiccups, such as Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (god that’s fun to type), along the way. Plus, his on-screen mistakes, like Reign of Fire, are immediately forgotten because off-screen, he’s a good guy who visits Aurora victims and leukemia patients. In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look at some of the Internet’s best tributes to Señor Bale.
