Christian Bale Admits He Worried About Getting Stuck Playing Batman: “I’ve Never Considered Myself A Leading Man. It’s Just Boring”

Christian Bale is not your typical GQ coverboy, but that’s exactly where he’s landed this month, in part because he cares about his newest collaboration with David O. Russell, Amsterdam, on which Bale is also a producer.
The $82-million film has an uphill battle in its first week of release. Despite being booked in 3,000 theaters nationwide, it’s looking at only about $10 million in ticket sales, per analysis from Deadline’s Anthony D’Alessandro.

I could never be anything but that.’ And for a lot of people, I won’t,” Bale said. “I was like, ‘Ah, maybe I’m going to be forced to go do something different.’ And maybe this fucking thing [acting] that I got forced into doing as a kid that I didn’t fucking want to do in the first place, I’m out. And I’m free. And then it didn’t happen.”
So how did he insulate himself — and his ego — from the negative effects of the cultural phenomenon that the Nolan films became?
“I always just felt like it was a thing that someone else did, really, in a lot of ways,” Bale told the magazine. “I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. That thing happened over there. And that’s doing very well over there, I hear. That’s great.’ And I’m going
