Christian Bale covers Esquire magazine December 2010 issue. 36-year-old ‘The Fighter’ actor talks about many things in Esquire’s latest issue like about not wanting to talk about his family or personal life, what he would’ve done if he weren’t an actor and much more.

Check out some excerpts from Christian Bale Esquire Magazine interview:

Christian Bale on his acting career: “Well, it’s also just I’m bored s***less with myself.”

Christian Bale on hiding his real identity: “Look, I’ve got incredible pride for my family. I’ve absolutely fallen into that cliché of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly. But it’s not what I’m about in terms of being an actor. I don’t want people to know about that.”

Christian Bale on being famous: “Well, it’s embarrassing to be a star. Most people look at you like, ‘That’s not a f—ing job, is it?’ And then on top of that, you learn very quickly that you’re just a tool — other people are manipulating everything you do, you’re at the mercy of editors, and there’s nothing you can do. But I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there’s not much else that can really get to ya.

Christian Bale on his critics: “I do love people ripping the s–t out of me. I don’t know what that’s about, but I love it. The more crap you give me, the happier I get.”

Christian Bale on journalists judging his movies: “I’ve enjoyed interviews so much when the writer has said to me, ‘You know what? Not my thing. Didn’t like it too much.’ I find that endlessly entertaining.”
