Fans were unprepared for the appearance of an Oscar-winning actor who was spotted in France. The movie legend’s fans praised the sighting and called the actor “one of the greatest living actors.” The star’s classic restaurant appeared to have been over the weekend, and other guests were delighted to know where the meal was located.

Some cited the star’s appearance as a chance to point out that, as some might have predicted, his films may have suggested, he was actually English and not American. One person wrote, “My favorite is when people realize he is not an American!” “

No matter whether or not the commenters on the r/popculturechat were aware of Christian Bale’s potential appearance at Brasserie Lipp in Paris, France.

It took me forever to realize he wasn’t an American, a second fan continued. I once overheard him speak in a job interview, and I was floored. “

A third shared that it was “absolutely jaws to the floor” when people first heard his natural accent at a ceremony where they were given awards. “

The actor’s English or Welsh accent, which he explained in an interview in 2019, was left ambiguous for some fans.

Blade confirmed he had an American accent to maintain appearances and was awarded the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in The Fighter.

He continued, “But what was interesting was that many of them went on to say “listen to his Welsh accent” and did it very poorly. Although I was born in Wales, I don’t believe my accent is particularly Welsh. “

Bale’s performances from the last few decades were praised by others. The Machinist was just a night’s worth of commentary from one author.

We couldn’t believe the physical transformation he made for that movie, despite the fact that it was similar to “WTF” in general. “

Another continued, “And went to Batman physique a year later: Bale gained muscle and lost the weight he lost for The Machinist, weighing 220 pounds (100 kg). ‘

“I generally don’t like actors going through physical transformations. However, Bale’s obsession with it is so inescapably strong that it’s obvious he’s doing it to support the game rather than to earn awards season’s PR points. “

In Paris’ sixth arrondissement, Brasserie Lipp was founded 144 years ago.

On their website, Lipp has welcomed you every day with continuous service and serving classic French dishes since 1880. a home that embodies class and conviviality.

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing think they’ve figured out the real reason why La Voix remains in the competition – despite her dreadful scores.

Shirley Ballas raised eyebrows as she hit La Voix with a brutal score of just two points on Saturday night, claiming she “can’t judge” the routine at all. The iconic drag star and her professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec performed a dramatic Cha Cha Cha packed with theatrical flair and full of facial expressions, but their footwork failed to land with the panel.

They were awarded a meager 14 points overall, which placed them at the bottom of the leaderboard and put them in danger of dancing off. After the performance, La Voix appeared deflated and acknowledged, “That was terrible,” as other contestants rushed over for a warm group hug.

However, many people at home do, despite the fact that Shirley, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, and Craig Revel Horwood don’t appear to be backing her. The public’s choice was made clear on Sunday’s show, saving La Voix from the bottom two and keeping them in the competition for another week, was evident.

Some fans claim that La Voix’s amazing relationship with Tess Daly is making them feel inferior. Many adore the dynamic between the contestant and the presenter, and how Tess loves to rip Tess off for what she’s wearing, even getting praise for “going from bath mat to bedsheet in a week.”

“I’m purely voting for La Voix so they can continue to take the p**s out of Tess on a weekly basis #Strictly” one wrote. Following the weekend exchange, another said: “La Voix needs to stay in for her bants with Tess.”

A third person said on the platform: “May have accidentally, on purpose, voted more than once for La Voix so she can carry on taking the mick out of Tess’s outfits. Oh & possibly once for the best rumba of the evening by Alex & Johannes. #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly”

Chris Robshaw was voted off Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday, becoming the third contestant to leave the show. The former England rugby captain, 39, and his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova, 36, landed in the dance-off against EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal.

It followed Chris and Nadiya scoring 24 for their salsa to Ricky Martin’s María during Saturday night’s show. Meanwhile, Balvinder, 46, and her partner Julian Caillon, 30, earned 28 points for their paso doble to Diablo Rojo by Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Balvinder and Julian were chosen to be saved by Craig Revel Horwood, who this week received the casting vote. The Strictly “deciding twist” vote has had a significant influence on the elimination of the program for the first time.

Strictly changed their deciding vote this year, eliminating it from the head judge’s rotation among the judges every week. The deciding vote in the series’ first episode was crucial, with Motsi and Shirley both choosing to save Chris while Shirley and Craig Revel Horwood both choosing to save Chris.

The EastEnders star would have been the show’s next contestant if Shirley had still had the upper hand in the decision-making process. Tess enquired about Chris’ time on the show, and Chris responded, “I’ve loved it. My partner has been amazing. I had no confidence when I started this journey. That’s amazing to hear that I had world-class qualities on the dancefloor today even though we have to leave. I’m so confident in it.

Then, Chris expressed regret to my partner Nadiya. But I’m so grateful for the journey, she’s been a great teacher, and I’ve learned a lot. Nadiya also praised the actor, saying, “I saw all the characteristics that made you the captain of your country. To [go] from a non-dancer and non-performer to develop, grow, and develop. You might win on this show by having a glitterball, but this year, I believe I only lost because of having you as my partner.
