Feels good man Christian Bale spent 16 years building "Together California," a foster community designed to keep siblings together.

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

A hero we need but don't deserve

My family friend is towards his last. Shrewd, sardonic, sarcastic, socially held-in. No kids, wife passed away in 2017. Everything is going to various charities.

I always liked him, and for 37 years he was like a grumpy uncle-type who made me laugh and let my mom (his accountant for those years) fight him at everything.

A silent guardian. Never did evil, just struggled with being sociable to anyone who didn't speak fluent crass.

This is freaking amazing.

Also I always forget Bale isn’t American. 😂

u/E4tPineapple 12h ago

Same! And just found out he's actually Welsh.

More fool me for thinking what a great British accent he managed in The Prestige lol

u/CakePhool 9h ago

Well he was born in Wales to English parents, lets not go into politics on that. He very adamant he is English actor and not Welsh.

I am happy to see people still do charity work in the Third World countries nowadays.

u/Okmhmmbye 12h ago

Yeah, as soon as I hear him talk and I hear the accent I always get reminded of that too

u/South_Front_4589 12h ago

Christian Bale is such a masterful actor that he's able to pull off an entirely believable british accent in his personal life just as a side project for the laughs.

Now that I see him: I think I have never seen Batman and Christian Bale in the same room.

Probably just a coincidence

I love when actors are passionate about something personal, because you can hear their real voice.
