Hollywood superstar actor Christian Bale takes time off from his busy schedule to spend quality time with his family in Los Angeles.

Bale recently took his family to a birthday party in Los Angeles. Wearing a T-shirt, baseball cap, and red trainers, the 38-year-old actor looked very relaxed and was obviously having a great time with his wife Sibi and daughter on a friend’s birthday bash in the upmarket Brentwood area of the city.

According to reports, Bale is set to star as a heartless con-man in a forthcoming David O. Russell film. In reality, the Batman star is a devoted husband and father.

Bale will be teaming up for a second time with the “Spanking the Monkey” director who helped him win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 2010′s “The Fighter.” The story of the movie revolves around a notorious financial con artist and his mistress/partner in crime, who were forced to work with an out-of-control federal agent to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians.

From crime-fighting Batman to con artist! 

Christian Bale Brings Cancer Patient to Disneyland

Posted by  on

Seems like Christian Bale is taking his superhero role seriously!

The Dark Knight Rises actor took a 4-year-old leukemia patient named Jayden Barber and his family to California to have lunch in Disneyland’s Club 33! The toddler’s mom, Charlene Barber, shared their experience on the child’s Facebook page. She wrote along with a photo of Christian and Jaden:

“Finally can share!!! Christian sent us to LA and we had lunch at Disney club 33 on wed. He and his family were so awesome and down to earth!!!”

The mom continued telling her family’s rare experience while they were going around the theme park:

“The entire interaction was like old friends having lunch. Jayden did not get star struck but was well aware of who we were with!”

She added:

“They talked movies and superheroes and he was genuinely happy to hear about everything Jayden wanted to tell him. Christian, his wife and daughter are three of the most beautiful people we have ever met! Christian made these arrangements for us personally and ensured we were treated like royalty. I don’t have even one negative thing to say about them.”

Barber was being treated for bone cancer, originally, but it became MDS leukemia after two years of chemotherapy.

Surely, in Christian Bale’s world, superheroes exist!

Christian Bale Visits Aurora, Colorado Shooting Victims

Seems like those Facebook “likes” and “shares” are worth the click!

After a Facebook sharing/liking campaign asking Christian Bale to visit the shooting victims went around the site shortly after the Colorado theater shooting, The Dark Knight Rises star didn’t hesitate to make it come true.

Warner Brothers officials confirmed Tuesday last week that the Oscar-winning actor, 38, was in Aurora, Colorado visiting and paying respect to the victims of the horrifying incident. They said in a statement:

Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing Warner Brothers.

Shortly after the theater shooting that took 12 lives and injured 58 people, fans created a Facebook campaign requesting Bale to visit the hospitalized victims. The campaign read:

 Dear Christian Bale, please visit the injured children from the movie massacre as Batman. You have the power to be a hero right now — not a movie hero, a real flesh and blood one. Sincerely, Everyone.

Maybe superheroes are real, after all.

Dane Cook Apologizes for Joking About Colorado Shooting

Dane Cook

Sometimes, not all jokes are laughable.

When Dane Cook performed at the Laugh Factory in LA last Thursday, the comedian, 40, decided to use the Aurora, Colo. The Dark Knight Rises shooting as the axis of his routine. He said:

So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie. And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of s–t. Yeah, spoiler alert.

He continued:

I know that if none of that would have happened, pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of s–t, was probably like, ‘Ugh f—— shoot me.

The audience’s response was a mixture of cheers, laughter, and flouts.

The shooting, recorded as the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, killed 12 people and injured 58 moviegoers.

Probably realizing his mistake, and perhaps after seeing all the raged response online, Cook took to Twitter to release a statement:

I am devastated by the recent tragedy in Colorado & did not mean to make light of what happened. I made a bad judgment call with my material last night & regret making a joke at such a sensitive time. My heart goes out to all of the families & friends of the victims.

Christian Bale Releases Statement about Colorado Shooting

Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale - TDKR

Still appalled and “keeping victims’ families in their thoughts,” The Dark Knight Rises cast flew back to America after the horrifying shooting at a screening of their new movie in Colorado. Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were all in France for the supposed Paris premiere of their movie on the same day of the shooting, so in reverence to the incident, the cast rode a Los Angeles-bound Warner Brothers plane home. A source shares:

The cast was completely shocked and several – Anne and Marion [Cotillard], a couple of the men – were in tears. There was enormous, enormous sadness.

Bale, who is the on-screen Batman, released a statement while en-route:

Words cannot express the horror that I feel. I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them.

The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan also released a statement showing “profound sorrow” for the Aurora, Colorado shooting that killed 12 people and wounded more than 50 movie goers.
