"Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would."
~ Christian Bale
Dark and fascinating actor, Christian Bale has amazed us with his "baleful" presence in movies such as The Machinist, The Fighter, The Prestige American Hustle, and of course, American Psycho. But perhaps Mr. Bale will always be known for being the Batman we needed but probably didn't deserve.
About Christian Bale's Real Height
Christian Bale once mentioned that he was six feet tall, and honestly, just by taking a look at him, it is clear as the sky that if anyone deserves the six feet listing in the wide world -- it is Christian Bale. Especially if you compare his height to that of people like Tom Hardy (5'9"), Matt Damon (5'10"), Hugh Jackman (6'2" in his prime), Morgan Freeman (6'2½" in his prime).
Which makes Mr. Bale very similar in height to other six feet tall actors like Chris Evans (6") and Chris Pine (6'½"), Henry Cavil (6'½"), and the new Batman Robert Pattinson (6'½"). Ben Affleck is taller at 6'2½".
The height of Christian Bale is
