Christian Bale’s Acting Finesse Came From Studying Horses

Christian Bale grew up a vegetarian and was instilled with a strong appreciation for animal welfare. That childhood education has carried over to adulthood as all of the actor’s pets were at one time stray cats and dogs.
But the Batman star credits his greatest influence on acting to horses. “I love horses. I’ve learned from them,” he recently told The Japan Times. “Once you master a horse — but it also masters you — you gain more confidence in yourself. When you can mount it and move it and move along with it, that is a hard-won and very real accomplishment,” he said.
All mounting aside, Bale has been known to make up stories and fabricate background info to mess with the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case — but if not, kudos to him for drawing inspiration from a truly original source.
