| The producers of the film El Maquinista (The Machinist) claim that Christian Bale dropped from about 180 pounds in weight down to about 120 pounds in weight to make this film. They also claim that Bale actually wanted to drop down to 100 pounds, but that they would not let him go below 120 out of fear that his health could be in too much danger if he did. His diet consisted of one can of tuna and an apple per day. His 63-pound weight loss is said to be a record for any actor for a movie role. He since gained the weight back for his role in Batman Begins. |

I put The Machinist in my queue on Netflix after reading about this movie. Lately I’ve been on a Bale bender of films… American Psycho, Equilibrium, etc.
