'The Vice' official trailer: Christian Bale's unrecognizable transformation into Dick Cheney is almost as shocking a 'The Machinist'
Christian Bale did it again, and no, he's far from reprising the Batman role. Much to the disappointment of his fans, Bale has gone ahead and transformed into a character he's playing on the screen so impeccably well, that at first glance, the idea of the face belonging to Bale seems beyond just impossible. We're talking a Charlize Theron in the film 'Monster' level transformation here, as Bale stepped into the shoes of former vice president of the United States, Dick Cheney, for his upcoming movie, 'Vice' - the trailer for which debuted just an hour ago.
The 44-year-old actor is known for his go-to process of method acting when it comes to transforming into most of the intense roles he has played on screen, and that includes his iconic transformation for the movie 'The Machinist.' Bale had to drop a whopping 62 pounds to fit into the character - Trevor Reznik - in the 2004 psychological thriller that centered around Reznik's severe insomnia and psychological issues lead to an accident, which eventually sends him into a downward spiral of paranoia and delusion.
