One iconic A-list star looked completely unrecognisable with slicked-back hair and a brand-new outfit
An iconic Hollywood star looked totally unrecognisable with slicked back hair and heavy face makeup in new pictures shared online. The actor, who has won an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards, was recently seen with longer, greying hair that was messily slicked back.
Their face looked different with makeup and fine lines, and they rocked a white vest with a leather jacket and black trousers. The star, who recently did voice acting work for The Boy and the Heron, was seen looking serious while walking around a movie set and, at one point, talking to a crew member.

The Hollywood actor in question was wearing three Super Bowl rings and is none other than Christian Bale. He has been filming the upcoming David O’Russell film, Madden, in Atlanta.
Madden also stars Nicolas Cage, who was spotted in a fat suit and long hair, as Raiders head coach-turned-iconic broadcaster John Madden.
Comedian John Mulaney stars as Trip Hawkins, and British actress Sienna Miller as Al’s wife Carol Davis. Christina star as the late Al Davis, who is the Oakland Raiders team owner and manager.
Christian has previously discussed his roles and opened up about playing Patrick Bateman in the iconic American Psycho. In a 2022 interview with GQ, he said he was fired from the film during pre-production despite being handpicked for the role.
“I had the book by my side, and I would read through it every single time because [author] Brett [Easton Ellis] had just had so many wonderful descriptions,” Bale said, describing how he approached the character.
“I didn’t approach it like she said the other actors had, where they were talking about, ‘What’s his childhood?’ or ‘What’s the reason he’s become this?’ I was like, ah, none of that really matters. He’s just like this alien.”
He added: “As we were doing the scene, I started laughing, and she started cracking up. We were like, ‘Oh yeah, right – this will work between us.’”
However, not everyone was sold. The financiers didn’t like the idea of Christian playing the lead and wanted a bigger star so he was booted from the movie but he wasn’t ready to leave.
He continued preparing for the role and it (obviously) worked out. Christian said he “went a little bit psycho” himself and refused to step aside from the role.
“Even though other people were cast, other directors were on board, I just kept on prepping.” Eventually, the producers relented, and Bale reclaimed the part he never truly let go of.
