One of the big mysteries with Bales fans, is what is Christian Bales real accent like.
Not to many people know this, but Bale uses a different tone and accent for his movies (he is actually Welsh).
He maintains the accent of the character in all promotions and interviews for so said movie. Thats why he will always sound exactly like the character when doing an interview but every few years sound somewhat different then from before.
Its been a rumor (or urban legend) that he uses his real way of talking and his natural accent in the movie "Metroland".
I'm not a "Balehead" but I've met more then a few of them.
The guy is an interesting person from what I have gathered.
Well, I gotta rent Metroland to hear Bale's real accent. He was also good in Laurel Canyon.
Christian doing interviews in the accent of his character is probably a way of protecting his private self.
Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens)would only do interviews if he could speak in Pee Wee's voice.
