Christian Bale: Tom Cruise Inspired American Psycho

Christian Bale wraps his arm around his wife Sibi Blazic after having lunch at Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica on Wednesday (October 21).

In 2000, the 35-year-old actor played a psychopathic banking executive in American Psycho.

Recently, the movie’s director Mary Harron revealed to BlackBook that Christian got his inspiration from watching Tom Cruise.

“One day (Christian) called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy,” Mary said.
