Much harder to LOSE weight, than to gain weight.

Christian Bale lost about 50-60 pounds to play this character...I dont know how thats even possible when he has a normal build of 180 pounds.

he has professional diestest and nutrionists to help him, they sorda tell him what he should and shouldn't eat, espically if it's for movie roles, Tom Hanks had to do the same thing for Cast Away, he needed to gain weight 1st, then lose weight to make it seem he lost a lot of weight while on the island after 4 years...when u're a celebrity, u don't need to figure things out yourself, u have other people do it for u

It still does require some of your own will power though. I read in an interview that he programed himself to go and read a book every time he became hungry.

People always praise actors/actresses for putting on weight, but this is real dedication. Even the writer of the material the film is based on said that he invisioned someone that size, but didn't actually think someone would be willing to do it.

Apparently he went and saw a dietision once at the start of the process...he was the director around the same time and when he had lost all the wait and saw the direction..well the director was amazed

I read he got up to 230 after that role, so i figure he got down to at least 200 for Batman.
I guess he's normally 180.
