Tom Cruise is real-life Patrick Bateman!

Did you know that for American Psycho, Christian Bale was inspired by Tom Cruise when he played the role of Patrick Bateman? Bale said, when he played Patrick Bateman, he actually tried to behave like Tom Cruise. Bale watched Tom Cruise's interviews that time & observed his body language & the way of talking. This is why Patrick's way of talking looks similar to Tom Cruise's interviews.

As a child, I was always confused between tom cruise and christain bale. For some reason they looked very similar to me.

[@janarisky]

So that’s why his character always reminded me of Tom Cruise lol

@@epistemologyphilosophy7791 after looking it up I have only seen peoples speculation on it and nothing where Christian bale is like “I copied Tom cruise to play Bateman.” It’s basically conspiracy people making connections that I can fully see but it’s not a proven fact.

[@Rameon]

@@epistemologyphilosophy7791 I can’t find anything where Christian bale says Tom Cruise was his inspiration for his acting as Bateman. I see a lot of speculative articles that compare the one interview of TC to Bateman but nothing where Christian bale confirms it.
