Michael Rooker in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. I avoided watching him in anything for a couple years after seeing that.

I like how they’re playing “True Faith” by New Order. Amazing song from the 1980s.

American Psycho. Before filming, Christian Bale met with author Bret Easton Ellis. Bale arrived fully in character as Patrick Bateman and introduced himself that way. After ten minutes, Ellis begged him to stop. He later said it was the single creepiest moment of his life.

Before American Psycho began filming, Christian Bale set up a meeting with the book’s author, Bret Easton Ellis, to confirm he was the right fit for the role. Bale showed up fully dressed and behaving as Patrick Bateman. 10minutes in, Ellis asked him to stop. He later called it one of the creepiest moments of his life. To shape Bateman’s unsettling persona, Bale drew inspiration from an interview with Tom Cruise on David Letterman, describing Cruise as having an “intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes” a trait that perfectly embodied Bateman’s polished yet emotionally hollow nature.

The role of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho almost slipped from Bale, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Ewan McGregor approached first. Bale built Bateman as a “hollow shell,” studying Tom Cruise’s eerie charm and fixed smile for inspiration.

In American Psycho, Christian Bale improvised the moonwalk on the spot during that scene. The director loved it so much he decided to keep it in the final cut. But the novel’s author, Bret Easton Ellis, wasn’t a fan — he considered it one of the film’s weaker moments.

Fun fact: While filming The Prestige (2006) Christian Bale would dress up like a bat at night and beat up poor people. Christopher Nolan was so inspired that he created the character Batman and cast Bale in the role.

Christian Bale was so fat in this movie that Robert De Niro couldn’t recognize him. De Niro pulled the director aside, pointed to Bale, and asked who he was. He didn't believe it was Bale. Dir. convinced him. Then said, "Wow, he looks really different”

When Robert De Niro arrived for the filming of "American Hustle" (2013), he met every cast member and shook their hands. De Niro met Christian Bale first and kind of blew by him like he was a nobody. Afterwards, he asked David O. Russell, "Who is that fat guy?". Russell replied, "That’s Christian Bale." He said, ‘No, no, no, the fat guy, the guy who’s talking to Jeremy Renner right now.’ Russell reaffirmed that it was Christian Bale. Finally, De Niro was convinced—“Wow, he looks really different.”—and Russell had to take him back to reintroduce him. This time De Niro looked Bale in the eye and said, ‘Oh my God, so nice to meet you.” ("David O. Russell Reveals That Robert DeNiro Didn’t Recognize Christian Bale on the ‘American Hustle’ Set", Film Independent, 2013)

Mark Wahlberg easily fell back on his native accent. Martin Scorsese joked it was so thick, they'd need subtitles. Leonardo DiCaprio was cast in the title role in The Good Shepherd (2006), but he dropped out to play Billy Costigan in The Departed. Robert De Niro turned down the role of Queenan, which later went to Martin Sheen.

Originally, Jack Nicholson turned down his role in the movie, but after a meeting with Martin Scorsese, William Monahan, and Leonardo DiCaprio, he was finally convinced to play the role of Frank Costello. The main reason he joined the production was because he had previously done a few comedies, and wanted to play a villain again, and he considered the character of Costello to be the ultimate incarnation of evil. Martin Scorsese really wanted Al Pacino for the role of Costello, because he had never worked with Pacino before, but he turned it down. Jack Nicholson was Scorsese's second choice. The Departed (2006).

Christian Bale got death threats when he was cast in American Psycho. One fan followed him every day on the same street. He only found out because a friend warned him to avoid that route. Bale didn’t care at all. “So of course, I was like, "I'm going to that alley. I want to see what happens." Fortunate enough, I kept walking up and down it going, "Where are they? Come on." [Laughs]

Christopher Nolan, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland couldn’t stop laughing after Matt Damon said he was happy to land the lead role in The Odyssey instead of Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, and several other actors only for Christopher Nolan to reveal they all passed on it first 😭🎬💀👀 “It’s a murderous row of good actors. All of them would have been fantastic.” “And they all passed.” 🤣

Leonardo DiCaprio was initially considered for the role of David McCall in "Fear" (1996), DiCaprio didn't think he was right for the role, but he put in a good word for friend Mark Wahlberg to director James Foley after working with him on "The Basketball Diaries" (1995). James Foley & Mark Wahlberg spent a day hanging out and discussing about the part. Afterwards Wahlberg was told by Foley that he really liked him but that he wouldn't be considered for the lead role of David McCall. Wahlberg was subsequently offered to come in to audition for one of David's criminal friends and impressed Foley so much that Foley told the studio that he would back out of directing the movie if Wahlberg didn't get to play David. P.S: Happy 55th birthday, Mark Wahlberg!
