Bella Thorne Recalls the Time She Met Christian Bale

Christian Bale is in great spirits as he touches down at LAX Airport and meets some fans on Saturday (April 4) in Los Angeles.

The 41-year-old actor recently met actress Bella Thorne and she opened up about the experience.

“Keep in mind, he’s my favorite actor ever and my mom’s like, ‘Go to this Out of the Furnace screening. You might meet Christian Bale!’ and I’m like, ‘Mommy, come on. I would never go up to Christian Bale. I don’t wanna bug him!’” Bella said at an AOL event.

She continued, “He goes to introduce himself…and he goes, ‘Hi, I’m…oh my God, it’s Bella Thorne from Shake It Up! Boom! I kid you not! I died literally! And his beard, the scruff, it looked so soft, I just wanted to curl up in it!”
