We just watched The Machinist with Christian Bale. He was so thin in this movie it was totally shocking! Apparently he lost sixty pounds to play this part and although I thought the movie was really wonderful, I just can't imagine how someone could do that to themselves for a movie role. He said he just quit eating. We aren't just talking thin here. We're talking skeleton. Look at these photos.

I was sitting there mesmerized wondering how the doctors could let him do it or how the movie could insure him. It was painful to watch him move. Obviously he has put all the weight back on to play Batman. I just think that kind of thing has to have consequences down the road, doesn't it? I still can't quite believe it.
