Christian Bale would “kill and die” for his family
Before he became a father and husband, Christian Bale says he "always enjoyed the gray in life," but since welcoming his 3-year-old daughter — believed to be named Emmaline — with wife Sandra ‘Sibi’ Blazic family has become "an area of total black and white." When asked recently by Parade if fatherhood has made him less of a risk-taker, Christian answered in the affirmative.
There’s a very hard line you find in yourself when you become a parent, an absolute belief that cannot be questioned. It’s something that you will kill and die for in a way that you never experienced before…This is something that is unquestionable.
That mindset is apparent when Christian talks about his own upbringing, something the 34-year-old actor admits was somewhat unstable for it involved repeated moves from town to town with his mom, a circus performer. While Christian says that on some level he is "grateful" for the "upheaval" of his youth, "when it comes to being a father and my family, I’m absolutely predictable."
Through the incredible position I’ve found myself in, I hope that with my daughter there will be a choice of stability or constant adventure.
Describing himself as a "court jester" with his daughter, Christian deemed the life of an actor conducive to parenting — and vice versa.
My wife and daughter come with me on location. It’s the most ideal mix. These wonderful distractions actually make me better at what I do.

I’d love to have Christian Bale’s babies!

As great as he is as Batman (I LOVED Batman Begins. It was the best of the Batman movies), I just watched American Psycho yesterday, and I’d forgotten what a fantastic actor he is. Plus, he’s delicious.
And he clearly passed on those beautiful genes to his daughter.
And just to keep identities clear, a long time ago, I used to post as just Becky (as I’m a casual poster), someone with completely opposite views to mine took over my user name so I added the 2 even though I was the original, but opposite opinions are what makes things interesting, so I completely respect the new Becky.
