Note: For those of you who prefer reading instead of watching the video, below is a transcription of the video.

Introduction

Yo, what’s up guys? This is David Hoang from supplementsuperhero.com, the coolest website on the planet. Just kidding, maybe, but I’ve got another video here for you in my celebrity body transformation series. I’m going to be talking about the Christian Bale Machinist diet, and also his Batman body bodybuilding routine.

So hopefully you’ll like this, because this is one of the sickest, absolute sickest transformations in celebrity history, and actually probably one of my favorite actors because of his role in Batman Begins and the whole Dark Knight series as well as a variety of other roles.

So this is a really, really, really fascinating transformation here, and probably one of the best transformations I’ll cover, but if you don’t know, Christian Bale played the role … I mean he played in a lot of different roles.

Christian Bale’s Role in The Machinist

One of the biggest ones being his roles in the Batman movies, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, and before that though, he played the role in kind of a lesser known movie called The Machinist, where he played … it’s kind of a psychological thriller, and he played a guy who worked in a factory and essentially couldn’t sleep.

He played a guy who suffered from insomnia and couldn’t sleep, and then essentially a bunch of things go wrong and then it goes into this huge psychological thing. Okay. So pretty crazy movie, and what’s crazy is before his role in The Machinist, he was fairly big.

He was 180 pounds, and they basically told him that he had to lose a ton of weight, and if you saw him in films prior, like American Psycho, he was really, really built. He had built up a good amount of weight, a good physique for American Psycho, and then had to essentially destroy all of that muscle and destroy all of that mass, and he did that by undergoing a really, really intense diet.

Transformation Stats

Basically, he prepped for four months, and keep in mind, Bale was six foot. He’s six foot nothing. Okay, six foot zero, six foot exact, and he went from 180 pounds to 120 pounds.

So he literally lost 60 pounds, and I actually think they say it’s exactly about 62 pounds roughly, but he went from 180 to 120….a 6 foot tall dude.

Okay. Just to give you an idea, I’m five foot three and I weigh 150 pounds. I’ve fluctuated, sometimes a little less than 150, sometimes more than 150, but I’m right around a little more than 150 pounds.

Bale’s Diet

So this dude is much taller than me. He’s nine inches taller than me, and for this particular movie, weighed less than me, which is nuts, but basically his diet was really, really simple. He basically put himself into starvation mode. He basically ate an apple, water, and one cup of coffee per day.

Okay. They say that … I don’t know, some sources also say he also ate a can of tuna, which would make sense, but for sure he ate the apple. He drank water. He had a cup of coffee each day, and they said he occasionally had some whiskey.

I don’t know how true that is, but anyways, he had the occasional whiskey. I guess he likes to drink whiskey. I don’t know, but that’s all he did. Apple, water, a cup of coffee, maybe a can of tuna, maybe an occasional whiskey, and he did that for four months, and lost 60 pounds. 60 pounds, 180 to 120.

The dude looked like a fricking skeleton in the movie. So you can look it up. You can look up all the videos. I’m not going to show you all the visuals and whatnot, but the dude look really scary, and in fact he was so dedicated, he actually wanted to get down to all the way to 99 pounds.

But, they just told him, “Dude, stop. Don’t do it, for health reasons. We want you to actually live. We want you to actually film the movie with us, so don’t do it. 120 pounds is good enough. You already look like a skeleton.”

So yeah, that’s one of the sickest body transformations, but the flip side of this is that he gained it all back after the movie, which is huge. So he went from one drastic body transformation, extreme weight loss, and did the complete opposite and regained the weight.

Bulking for Batman

So, after he filmed The Machinist, he took on the role of Batman for the movie Batman Begins, and he had six months to gain that mass back, and literally in a six-month period he packed on 100 pounds. So literally, went from 180 to 120, lost 60 pounds, and then went from 120 pounds all the way up to 220 pounds.

That’s crazy. Crazy transformation….and to get that he basically did a lot of intense weight training. He did some resistance training…did a lot of other things for the role, like pliometric circuit training.

He did some martial arts training, of course, because he needed that, and of course a lot of the other basic things like squats, sprints, lunges, chin-ups, high poles, variety of basic weight training….weight resistance exercise.

On top of that too, he ate a lot. So good for Christian Bale. He’s basically starved himself for The Machinist, and then for Batman Begins, he ate a ton.

They said he ate a lot of pizza, ate a lot of ice cream, and just ate tons of calories to help pack on the muscle and gain that mass back so that he didn’t look like a skeleton while playing Batman. That’s great, because you don’t want Batman being a skeleton.

Conclusion
