Christian Bale: Human Rights Award Dinner!

Christian Bale suits up as he attends Human Rights First‘s Human Rights Award Dinner held at Pier Sixty in Chelsea Piers on Wednesday (October 24) in New York City.

The 38-year-old actor shared a sweet moment with Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng as he honored him with the 2012 Human Rights Award.

“This doesn’t come naturally to me, this is not what I actually enjoy, it isn’t about me,” Christian said during his speech. “But this was just a situation that said I can’t look the other way. The local people who are standing up to the authorities, who are visiting Chen and his family and getting beaten or detained, I want to support them.”
