After the American Psycho actor’s GQ interview, many fans are wondering, do Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio have a feud?
Both Christian and Leonardo were heartthrobs in the 90s where they starred in various films as up-and-coming leading men, though the rivalry started to pick up the pace when the two were constantly competing for roles. In a new interview with GQ, Christian candidly answered about his experience in films throughout his lengthy career. When the interviewer pointed out the five times that Leo was cast in a film instead of Christian in the 90s, the Thor: Love and Thunder star quipped, “Oh, dude. It’s not just me. Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it’s only because he’s passed on it beforehand. It doesn’t matter what anyone tells you. It doesn’t matter how friendly you are with the directors. All those people that I’ve worked with multiple times, they all offered every one of those roles to him first. Right? I had one of those people actually tell me that. So, thank you, Leo, because literally, he gets to choose everything he does. And good for him, he’s phenomenal.”
However, he didn’t take the casting decisions personally. “Do you know how grateful I am to get any damn thing? I mean, I can’t do what he does,” Christian said. “I wouldn’t want the exposure that he has either. And he does it magnificently. But I would suspect that almost everybody of similar age to him in Hollywood owes their careers to him passing on whatever project it is.”
Though a very pleasant answer, The Dark Knight actor reportedly had a long history of resentment towards, if not a one-sided rivalry with, Leo. Read below if Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio had a feud.
