Why Christian Bale Didn't Like Living in L.A. | Celebrity Sit Down | E! News
/ enews
What Christian said really resonates. As a child I used to go to neighbor's house without knowing them, waiting for their kids to show up so we can chill, meanwhile their parents would serve me a tea and some biscuits, while either asking me about studies or school or showing me some cartoon on TV. Good old times.
Its the same in Africa until i moved to Australia .You dont know your neighbour
If Christian Bale showed up at my house I would absolutely let him in and make him a meal.
Would you make him the meal or a make a meal?
@@summergolden 😂
Wait isn't he is the meal?🤩🥺💓
El es la comida jajjaa
Satan worshiper in your house 😂
I wish people just knocked on each other’s doors to hang out. Everyone is so isolated.
That really left me feeling disappointed, how nice it must be to have the trust in one another to visit without each other without awkwardness.
Tori social media ruined social life.
Tori The place I grew in if you knocked on someone's door you didn't properly know them, everybody would just walk in
hzh hzh I would consider myself the average dude, I’m 20 and since I left school I just feel like another slave..
Ariesseeing L social media pretty much made everyone unsocial, there’s no need to talk to people to see what there up to because we already know due to fb/ig etc
London has a great walking culture, you can walk hours in the city center and around, always to different areas, and you never walk alone. That must be the best thing about London that I haven't seen anywhere else
True and it's similar for places in Germany and the Netherlands.
Paris, New York is like that too. LA is so car-bound because it’s so spread out.
Yeah bruv sounds like a solid destination point it’ll probly be a great time for ppl who can’t drive.
@Bessie Hillum but it has lots of people, not much probability of coming across crime. I’ve lived here for 10 years and only seen crime on the news. Also usually most of that crime is between gang members.
@Bessie Hillum I am reporting my experience, never had problems, love the city.
Christian Bale is welcome at my home without calling first anytime. There is plenty of tea here and I will try not to piss him off.
Now let's see Paul Allen's celebrity sitdown
Cant believe you prefer Van Patten's card over mine
Impressive, very nice
He got a salon machine. You should take a look at it😂
i live in chicago and was visiting LA. I was left alone for a few hours so i decided to walk down the block and grab a in and out burger and my cousin freaked out and said ppl dont walk any where here. and ppl must have thought you were homeless or something. WTF is wrong with Californians? you have the best weather in the country and you refuse to walk anywhere? that place is really too dam superficial for me. Everything is about how others perceive you.
Your friend sounds weird. Isn't In-N-Out burger good though? People here used to take the in-n-out burger bumper sticker and cut off the "b" and "r" off burger and make the sticker say, "In-N-Out URGE". Reason #1,326 why I love my city! Google image search it...
You don't see many here in the suburbs. Even though I like walking, even I feel strange walking down the street. I feel like all eyes are on me.
Then they'll call the police for me. I plan on moving there with no car😎
Stfu theres places you cant walk so yeah ppl will look at you if youre walking somewhere you shouldnt for example the entrance to a tunnel near LAX (LA Airport) isnt a place to walk through because it has highway speed and theres no sidewalk except some little side walk here and there for tunnel repairs. If youre walking through there ppl will try to tell you its too dangerous! LA is a city made for driving way back in the day. It would cost a hell of a lot to take down some areas to make it more walk friendly and there's areas that are to long to walk because of old citys layout. And public transportation sucks ass here. (Go to San Pedro and Long Beach city limits or Carson and Compton City limits you will see why ppl dont want or like to walk through there)
Henry Ly idk where your friend was, I'm from Los Angeles and that's literally the city that never sleeps. you find tons of ppl in the street no matter where you are at. Dtla never sleeps.
He is 100% right abt L.A. Glad there are still artists who are not all materialistic & superficial. Bale was always sharp as knife, smart, not typical Hollywood star, brilliant actor, who wants his privacy & doesn't want this idiotic celebrity-kind of life, 17 yrs together with one woman; some idiots say she is not as hot as him - only just another proof of how amazing he is, coz clearly he fell in love with her coz of who she is not how she looks. Rare breed of man you are, Christian !
Naticzka Kamińska Nice thought... girls like you are rare to find.
Naticzka Kamińska Which is why he is the perfect Batman.
Naticzka Kamińska
Well said!
Anthony Liang
I agree. He is the best Batman of all time.
I'm just like him. We aren't a rare breed. But we are a very small minority in America. The commercial propaganda in this country is subconsciously internalized by most people here. LA is even more materialistic and superficial, though.
Traffic, pollution, homeless, overpriced apartments.
If you like that stuff you'll love LA.
Zurich would be more .. terrible
Or most big cities
But there's also the Hollywood sign!
And libtards everywhere

i am britsh and i didt know he was british he dose great american accent
i thought he was Welsh
Mr Solo King He's Welsh.
Hes English..tho born in Wales..hes said in interviews hes English.
christian bale is english, both his parents are english, his parents happened to be living in wales when he was born, wales is part of the uk......if you are confused then just call him british.as a child he lived in different countries including south africa, portugal, and the usa.
is this guy serious?
There is no sense of community in LA at all.
It depends where you live.
@@hiphoprbloverjon9180 I live under a bridge in the LA River. Have rats and pigeons for friends. Not necessarily community, but good company…have a good day everyone.
Only if u have some sort of status then people cling and vamp onto you....
So relatable !!! You just can’t knock and hang around at your neighbors’ place and people driving would definitely stare at you if you are walking ! Omg I have experienced both and a few more unique ones, when I first came to US and I was very surprised indeed ! Different places have different cultures, and it definitely grows on you with time
I love Marc and his interviews he’s seems so respectful and asks good questions. Also his fashion sense is awesome! 🥰
When you find out somebody is British when you thought for years they were from the states.
Did you never see his very first major film I think he was about 10years old Empire of the Sun
I used to live in LA and it's impossible to live in after your 20's unless your excessively rich or poor.
@Andy Moran. Most studios are running $2000 a month if you want in.
Why after your 20s?
@@NosyFella The novelty wears off unless you're homeless and like sleeping warm every night or you're unbelievably rich and can afford a $1,000,000 1970s rancher in Huntington Beach.
@@m1g0t0 i don't understand why anyone not looking to break into show business would move there at any age to be honest. Never my sort of place.
Lived in LA for over 30 years and just got totally bored with it!! Malibu and up is great for cycling but the smog and congestion just started to bore the hell out of me, so I went to the mid west!! LOVE IT!!
His performance in America Psycho was career defining.
I love how he admits to driving without a licence!
welcome to America , i live in LA for 25 years my neighbor still not saying hi I gave up saying hi to him 10 years ago , I still don't get it .
Sabah Abdulameer prbly has to-do with your name
He's racist. What did you expect?
Because he doesn't care about you,you silly muhamed
Sounds like a your nieghbours a total nutter. Glad I don't have to live next door to the git. What wrong with a polite hello how are you?
Christian bales in harsh times is why he's my fav fucking actor
"You take my piece, you put it to my fuckin' head and you pull the trigger. You step up an' do it... because I can't."
Deserved an Oscar for Harsh Times.
I spent a few days in LA a couple of years ago, I was really excited and to be honest I thought it was a big depressing and a bit rough. Obviously it has its sections like any other city, but I thought it was a bit overhyped.
So funny and true, I moved from South Africa to the UK, and was also weirded out at first when I saw people walking around everywhere. My head was like "Get inside people! its not safe!"
Really? What's weird about walking around outside?
@@jdlc903 if you come from a crime ridden country you are likely to get mugged or worse if you're just wandering around outside at all sorts of hours. You just don't see people walking around like that
Oh gosh my South Africian friends at church said the same thing when they first moved here.
@@marchandsteenkamp5703 Even during daylight ??
@@marchandsteenkamp5703 To be fair that sounds like London in its current state. People being attacked in the middle of the day it's crazy
England sounds more delightful.
It's not. I'm from the town Christian grew up in (Bournemouth), and we definitely don't randomly turn up at each others houses out of the blue. People haven't done this since the 90's/early 2000's here.
I feel it's the case everywhere nowadays.. Miss that good old times.
yeah, i've heard england has grey skies most of the time and it rains. it sounds like portland and seattle.
Scott Reacher - it is Scott. Especially the north.
It has become the norm nowadays to call your friend and ask if it is okay to call over or to mutually agree on a time that suits both. It was way better when friends would just come over out of the blue for a visit and a chat.
Yeah, I moved to Australia from England.
It sounds like the same situation here in Australia.
I still walk anywhere, I don't own a car.
It does take forever to get anywhere.
Calling ahead to visit friends is definitely something I had to adapt to. Glad I'm not the only one to go thru that experience.
I would love to live in a culture where you can show up at your friend's house and knock on their door and they're like, "Come on in, man. Let's hang."
I do that from time to time and people are always put off and standoffish, and really shocked. One of my friends (not really friends anymore haha) yelled at me and said it was incredibly rude to just show up unannounced.
Same here
Sounds like that friend wasn't really a friend.
man he so right about the part of walking every where and just showing up at peoples houses like friends and families unannounced . That s just the way it is in Europe.
Yes as a European myself, I know u walk everywhere and u take the tram (what we have) if u need to get from one place to another. America is a different animal. In Europe yes, people can just show up at your place. When I was a kid growing up in Eastern Europe, we didn't even have a car. We walked everywhere or took the tram for longer distances.
Yes, true. America is such a large country. With very big cities. Very hard to get around just walking.
Australia is much the same, very Americanised. Give me Europe any day!
He's a grounded man. Its nice when you can just walk down the road, knock on a friends door and ask if they want to come with you to the pub for lunch.
He changed so much since his American Psycho days. Clean cut young dude to very average middle aged dude.
A lot of celebrities don’t like LA. I’m born and raised here. Im hoping to leave this place soon! I’ve had my fun and enjoyed LA/Orange county and Hollywood before it became a hipster hang out.
In other words, you're getting OLD. Ten years from now the same Hipsters that you can't stand will say the same thing about the new batch of people they can't stand.
yes i'm getting old not that old though., but LA and especially Hollywood were cities that were mysterious and unique. Downtown LA was just working class people. At night it was no mans land.Hollywood too. Now its filled with pretentious models, wanna-be starving artists, and just to many fake people trying to one up each other also known as hipsters.( fake people doing fake things). The 90's were a great time to do crazy stuff without cellphone cameras, social media and just living life hard because we didn't have to try and impress people for " like " buttons. No, 10 years from now, a decadent society will finally eat their cake. All good things come to an end.
Imagine Christian Bale showing up at your house just trying to chill
Me muiro
I have a question for any one who knows Christian Bale, is he related to James Brolin? They look alot a like , like Christian could be James 's Son? Huh? Take the pictures side by side both very good looking & same features , I say ! Both are great actors & my favorite also !!!
I would love that, just someone come over and if I'm busy just put pour a glass of tea and wait a few minutes then visit
So the guy who played American Psycho is surprised that people panicked when he knocked on their door unannounced... 👺
Yup. The one thing that irritated me was how people think you’ve been car jacked or robbed if they see you walking, yet people drive for miles to the gym just to walk on a treadmill. Still, people are much more friendly in my experience so that means everything.
Videotape rental shops probably far from his house..
I happened to visit LA this one time, I only wished if I could live here forever
That's because you didn't have to deal with traffic & living in a crappy area. No point in living there if you're not wealthy.
Someone told me once, "look, new york is really cool if you have a lot of money"
@@KleWdSide I am wealthy
I think he's been wearing the same black shirt for the past 20 years to every single interview loll.
Sounds more fun.
Christian, you’re welcome at my house any time!
And it is true. I grew up in a driving city and I always thought it looked weird seeing someone walking down a sidewalk on a busy, paved road
If there were remakes of the Harry Potter movies, Christian Bale would make a perfect Sirius Black.
Yup Christian, this is the country we live in today. I understand your distaste for it.
I missed that; friends just coming over or just going over unannounced.
I'm from Paris, we walk too, a great deal, but we also like when people call before coming ^^;
I had the same dilemma when I migrated to the States. I was so used to walking anywhere. And then boom, vehicle became a necessity.
People knocking on your door to come-over was everyday in the 90s here in Canada. Up until 2000 that's when the culture really started to change. Its still like that somewhat in Montreal. Otherwise it was just like England. It was literally a walking culture. Everyone has a car now and isolated from others even with homes.
Thank you for the video.
His real accent - finally.!
Most countries in Asia specifically south east asia still have that sense of togetherness. You can leave the door open, let the kids and the neighbour's kids playing while you do some chores, everyone knows everyone's kids.
He got a THICC moustache
Avid And Dome
Apart from what he said about LA growing on you, he’s absolutely right!
Other than very close friends/family...i'd like people to call or text before randomly knocking at the door
Seriously! Even then I try to avoid them
No, family have to make an appointment too!
We will inform Christian.
Jordi Danen you’re human sewage!!!!!!
Seeing him behaving as himself looks so different from the character s he's played. Great actor!!
This guy is great…just great.
*How come some people here didn't know he was british?! I knew it since the very beginning..wtf*
He's a funny man. Terrific actor. Can't wait to watch Batman again. God bless everyone. Great upload.
Colin Firth (nearly so) taking interview of Christian Bale - that's great!
Holy fuck this guy is from England?! He nails an American accent in all of his movies....
So, driving Batmobile doesn't require a driver's license?
That British accent was quite convincing lol.
He's from Wales he's Walshman ..
Great man and great actor.
He's not Welsh. His parents are English and he says himself he is English and not Welsh. He was just born in Wales. Easier just to say British as both Welsh ans English are British.
It doesn't. He was just born in Wales to English parents and left Wales as a baby. He has an English accent as he grew up in England, has English parents, and he even says himself he is English and not Welsh. If he was born in Wales and raised in Wales he would have been Welsh. But he wasn't.
If the Welsh want him just let them have him, they haven't got much else except maybe a football team made up of English men and Gareth Bale. The Welsh are lovely people though, I have to say.
A good friend of mine (may he RIP) was born in Wales as his family had to evacuate during the war but after it ended, he moved back to Dagenham and around Essex which was where he grew up. He never once considered himself Welsh. Birthplace is simply that, a place of birth. Bale himself has never identified as a Welshman only English.
Emma Watson was born in Paris - do you consider her a French or British actress.
That's so true being from the UK can't think of a time I've texted someone to let them know a was cmon around unless there was drink involved
Exactly I feel the same you don't know what to do in LA, I'm from France and it is so different. Like he mentioned you can't knock on people's door like that and barged in, it is so weird people think that you're serial killer. That's why it so quiet when you walk past neighborhoods there's no life no noise like " Apocalypse day".
Beckham sounds and moves a little like him, mouth wise. But obviously a lot more lighter for Becks.
Best batman
LAX is one of the worst airports I been to- took that as a gauge. I liked the weather and I walked and yeah it was rare to see others walking too!
I remember comeing home and my best friend was in my room
As a kid, as a teen, and in my early twenties, I would just show up to a friend's house whenever and it was cool. It didn't become a problem until they had families and their significant other had a problem with it. It wasn't until a year ago when I realized I hate people showing up. My friend and I were getting into something private and this 19 year old kid I befriended kept calling my phone. I didn't answer. Then he showed up at my door wanting to come in with his girlfriend. I explained we were doing cocaine and wanted privacy. Next thing you know, people are saying I'm a crackhead. I live in Cleveland Ohio.
Jesus christ
That's how my friends and family are in Chicago. Just show up, put on a pot of coffee or tea.
I hear that I live in Canada and I miss being able to walk anywhere or catch a bus
Whoever was in charge of the audio should be fired.
I understand U completely, I wish I could back to England too.... sadly I have to live here :(
In the midwest even, people think that you are a bum with no license when you are walking. . Talk to me when you feel like losing weight.
Get the beers in I'm over in 10 ya mackerel.
I don't mind unexpected visitors unless my hubby and are having a "session", other than that you get what you get. If we haven't gotten around to cleaning up or shopping you will be eating pb and j if you are hungry. Lol
I mean, If Patrick Bateman shows up on my doorstep without calling, I might be a lil nervous, loools
Hi It's nice to meet you 😊❤
I wouldn't mind if Batman came to my house unexpectedly.
I use to knock on doors until I was 27. Still do when I'm in me hometown. I hate plans. Me mates r either coming out or not. No need to mess about.
I don't like unannounced visitors, either. I find it very intrusive and inconsiderate of my schedule because I could be in the middle of a work project, trying to meet a fast-approaching deadline, or having a telephone conversation, or catching up on a nap after working on-call for a week straight. Yet you're expected to immediately drop what you're doing in order to _entertain_ them; all while making several rounds of apologies for answering the door without looking presentable, or not having enough time to tidy up your children's mess, or neglecting to restock the refreshments in anticipation of their arrival, while you watch them scrutinize your life with every shifting glance like a suspicious social worker. Then you have to endure thinly-veiled insults while you pretend to share, or at least sympathize, with their opinions about every petty event sundering their peaceful existence. Yes. How "shallow" we are to dislike such social pageantry, especially if we happen to be introverted people who value our privacy. Spare me.
"Nobody walks in LA" - song
The thing about la is that there alot of stuff to do shop visit famous place go to the beach go to the snow to the lake go eat it's a big place that's why you need to drive
We don't like the pop-in here in the States, man. Give us some notice before you decide to visit.
First thing I did when I moved to L.A. is get a bicycle. Nice cheap fast way to get around. Takes all effen day to walk anywhere in L.A.
I COULD drive without me license
*in same breath*
I managed to talk me self out of a few accidents
That is so cool in UK that folks just come on over to hang out. Id be curious if they still do that, considering the population now.../
Yes people still do it.
All this time I thought he was Aussie.
depending on the interview he may be full on cockney English, American, or like here, in 'actual' accent mode. It can get confusing.
He's from Wales.
Hes English...too classy to be a Aussie lol..
He's not English. He's Welsh.
he's said himself that he's English not Welsh
That's so true. Back in India we would just go to our friend's house to hang. Never needed to call. Can't imagine how that was appropriate back then.
I didn't knew Homelander's twin is an interviewer.😂😂
I always thought he was American ! He even did American psycho 😀
Shouldn't they make a remake in British classy style?
And?
Ah! American Psycho, American actor. Natch.
My favourite film
stephen singleton : mine too, it was a classic movie, And his acting was fantastic .
I'm not British but I do the same thing knocking on my friend's door without calling
So cool and true.... Love him
Should moved to East LA, homies hangout all day on the front patio. They would of loved to be drinking Coronas with Batman.
Today I Learned Chistian Bale is British. Mind Blown.
Ok Ok That's Cool But Just Let's See Paul Allen Interview
People compare NYC and LA all the time but they really shouldn’t be compared at all. They’re simply two vastly different cities and cultures, neither one a better way to live...
anyone shocked that he's british, if any of you watch Arrow then search for an interview with Paul Blackthorne
(cpt quentin lance) he has a posh london accent and its hilarious when all you've heard is the gruff american accent XD
The interviewer has a bad habit of interrupting his guest.
Yeah, but in England we don't just pop in after knocking on the door. You still need to arrange your visit in advance or your friends will hate you for the rest of your life. It's sad, really.
Yeah, England is a big word.... Are you talking about Mancs, Geordies, Scousers, Cornish people, Cockneys etc?
I had a couple of accidents, but I could drive......?
