Christian Bale’s setting off all kinds of alarms again.

Filming of The Fighter is underway in Massachusetts, and we have a super spy on the set giving us some dee-lish deets. Seems the big three (Bale, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Adams) were all on location at the retro-hip Olympia Restaurant, a frequent hang for past real-life fighters like Mickey Ward.

You remember that perfectionist Bale likes to do things as realistically as possible, right? He’s slimmed down dangerously for parts before (like The Machinist), and now the emaciated actor’s doing it again.“[Christian] has lost almost as much weight as he did for The Machinist. He is so gaunt,” blab our eyes, standing right next to the Batman star.

Christian plays Dickie Eklund, a former crack addict, so that explains why Bale is so skeletal all of a sudden. “They have even thinned his hair—he just looks sickly.”

But Christian’s bizarre behavior doesn’t stop at his appearance…

We’re told the Method actor (who has been “getting into character” for quite some time now) goes completely AWOL between takes.

“You only see him when it’s time for his scenes,” our in-the know Bostonian tells us. “Other than that, no one has any idea where he is. He just goes missing.”

So how about the beefier—and now way sexier—costar Mark Wahlberg? We’re told he passes the time in a far more colorful, highly caloric fashion, i.e., with his good pal Patrón.

Uh-oh, is someone having marriage remorse? When the perpetual bachelor (which was much more fitting of Marky Mark, if you ask us) is already hitting the hard stuff, that can never a good sign. Is there trouble in paradise already?

Not likely. So far, Mark is nothing but the classy gentleman on the set, opting to hang with his boys rather than gawk at any townies or extras. Glad to hear it! Also, we’re told Mark’s humor is as spot-on as ever.
One of Wahlberg’s buds was at the bar with him and started cracking a joke about notorious crank-a-thon Christian Bale.

“Good thing there are no lighting guys around right now,” laughed the semi-inebriated guy during one of Christian’s mysterious breaks. Mark and his bud started cracking up, and Wahlberg and his friend go: “Dude, that was f–king funny.”

Christian, laughing, too? Doubt it.

It’s amazing how CB can totally change your body in such a short time, to characterize a character! That competence is much dedication!
But I have one concern: These radical changes can cause problems to your health?
I want to see him always in good condition, because I love him too!
I know he is guided by competent professionals, but still, I’m worried!

I know that perfectionist Bale, likes to do things as realistically as possible,but this is dangerous for him ?

where is the trouble? Bale always is focused and intense on set.
He must be in his trailer with his wife.
When he don’t work on set,he could visit the area.He was at Cambridge with his wife last wednesday(dixit regional newspaper)

in my opinion christian even skinny and with no hair at all is way sexier than marky mark ever will be. Uh wahlberg make me sick. I don’t like him and I think he’s an awful actor. and i came up with it before i read that post. f-cking ass:D

Not to sound negative about our man, but going AWOL during filming can’t be a good sign. I know he’s all about getting into character , but i think he takes it to extreme. Maybe the lack of eating properly is not such a good idea.

Christian going AWOL between takes or scenes is nothing new. He has said he stays in character the length of shooting, so he needs to remove himself during the ‘inbetween time’. And absolutely NO fraternizing. As for his weight, it’s more the make-up, thinned hair, discolored teeth and baggy clothing that make his appearance so shocking.. In between movies he is usually this weight and he is NO WHERE NEAR machinist weight. Go back and look at some screen shots to refresh your memory.

Christian looks like walking death. It´s crazy, but I think, It´s the prove, that he´s the best actor on the world. =)

Diane written on August 20, 2009

Why is he sounding alarm bells just because he isn’t on set all the time & why do these people expect him to look like a picture of health when he’s playing a drug addict ?? I wish they would give the man a break. He could be off the set for any number of reasons & none of them could be for strange reasons.

GGGRRRR…….they make me so mad !!

Everything around him caused a lot of controversy since that stupid rant and I am tired of this sick behavior in media. We, who know Christian Bale for years, know better than anybody else who is Christian Bale and I am not surprised at all of his behavior on the set, he is just doing his job as intense as he uses to do. We know he always gives himself into his art on 150% that’s the way he was, he is and he will, this is our man and we had always love him. He is a very very very smart man and we are all very smart women and I am not going to play along with their silly little games trying to mess him. There is nothing to talk about because everything it’s normal on Chris behavior. That’s my point of view, he is doing just as Bale would do so what’s the big deal.

Gloria Spain written on August 21, 2009

Actually the word they are using is AWOL that means absent without leave and Chris is always on set for his scenes, they are not saying that he’s not on set…just he is not making fun or drinking…

I think Christian is a smart guy and knows what he’s doing. But, he is human for God’s sake! All of the constant media crap he puts up with is, in my opinion, getting to him. This man is, no doubt, under intense pressure on a daily basis; pressure we cannot even begin to understand. As much as I absolutely LOVE his acting and admire him, I really wish he would take a couple of years off from acting and just relax; maybe reconnect, if possible, with his mother,sisters, and extended family. I think that’s the cure he needs. I don’t presume to know what’s going on with his family, but surely they all can find a way or compromise to overcome it all. All I can do, as an advid fan, is pray for Christian, his family, and his health. So, that’s what I’m gonna keep doing:) God bless ya CB & please stay strong…we don’t want to lose ya!
