Christian Bale sings the Powerpuff Girls theme (and a little Newsies)

I guess it makes sense that he doesn't want to do another musical ever again since I remember hearing somewhere that they didn't even tell him Newsies was a musical until after he'd been cast :lol Well, that and the movie was completely shat on by critics.

why is it that british and australian actors can pull off an american accent flawlessly and no one notices, but american actors (besides johnny depp) are rarely ever believable as british people?

It makes me proud that foreign actors always have to cater to us :)

prove me wrong. (You can't use depp because I already took him into account :D )

Portia Di Rossi always betrays her Australian accent when she says "anything". She's otherwise convincing. That's usually the case for most people pulling an accent, they have a word or two they can't quite do.

And they all tend to do some sort of generic American thing (Colin Farrell is a big offender), and it rarely rings true for me. Usually it works for their characters, but I still see through it. And forget about yelling, nearly everyone loses their accent when screaming. Jamie Bamber is one of the few actors I've ever seen that I couldn't detect anything askew.
 
I lost it :lol

Man deserves an oscar.

edit: At least his girls have good taste in cartoons. It's a several years old show so I wouldn't really expect that in this day and age.

Whats with this guy and getting people to sing the most random shit ever.

I think Andrew Garfield sang the bed intruder song on this show.

ok point taken.

also I forgot about Don Cheadle in the Ocean's movies! He did a great british accent that was totally convincing imo.

Yeah, I definitely hear it in his voice from time to time in all the movies I've seen him in.

Having watched Avatar again recently he straight up drops it for entire lines of dialogue, it's pretty funny.

:lol :lol :lol No. It was a 21st century Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Most American actors are just shit at English accents, even Johnny Depp goes all over the place. I did think Downey Jr as Holmes and Jake Gylenhaal in PoP had decent accents though.
 
The weird thing about Bale is that sometimes his actual accent mixes with the American accent that he does half the time, so he's almost like a man without a country, dialect-wise.

Christian Bale - truly a man of the people.
 
Heh.

Christian Bale went to the same school as me, and his sister lives (right now) a few streets away. True story.

Cool. You should go knock on her door, and when she opens say, "Tell your brother to work on his bat voice. He'll know what I mean. Thanks, bye."
 
The OP made it sound crazy, but it seems liek he was just having a little bit of fun. Big Christian Bale fan though so maybe it's just me. That being said, Christian doesn't look too good at the moment, he needs a clean shave and a haircut. He's also aging a bit, probably all the extreme weight loss/gain... it can't be good for him.

Nah, I'd rather not bump into her again. She used to come into my old work.

I agree. Age has hit him fiercely in five years. He looks really different today from his Batman Begins days.
 
Got to say, I'm surprised Bale, and Berg is good friends.... but Bale gets a bad rap. Yes he is alittle bit of an Asshole, but so is everyone else. He is still a badass, and one of the best actors today..

He is not Welsh, he is English.

Yeah. He was born in Wales, then in 1976 moved abroad. Later on, he came back to Bournemouth in south england and attended school.

He was born in wales, but has English citizenship due to his parents. Same as if I was born in scotland whilst on holiday, I'd still be English as my parents home was in England.
 
I like both Bale and Wahlberg. :3
 
YOU WANT ME TO TRASH YOUR LIGHTS?!

Also I think his accent surprises people because like many british actors he interviews sometimes in an american accent like his roles.
