| There's something deeply enigmatic about Christian Bale's presence, and in later years he's made the most of exploring it. But behind the mask is a quite regular, Welsh young man that gained instant fame when being cast (among thousands of contestants) for the lead role in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987). Coming from obscurity into stardom at the age of 13, Bale has lived most of his life as a celebrity, but he chose his following roles wisely in the years after his breakthrough. For instance, he relucted to do many Hollywood movies, and grew up under relatively normal circumstances in England and Portugal. Bale's rise to grown-up stardom begun when Winona Ryder hand-picked him for the role of Laurie in Little Women (1994), and although he didn't land too many great roles in his early twenties, there was never any doubt that his talent and presence would some day make him one of the most sought after leads in the business. After his fantastic performance in Mary Harron's American Psycho, Bale's offers increased instantly, and he's now set to star as Batman in the new film about the superhero.
