Christian Bale Gains 450,000 Pounds to Play Sandworm in Dune Remake
TUNIS, Tunisia Christian Bale, an actor known for dramatic transformations, has gained over 450,000 pounds to play a sandworm in the upcoming Dune remake.
Bales extreme commitment to the role was first seen in the Tunisian desert as the now bulbous, whale-sized Academy Award winner was airlifted to set.
People like to call me a method actor, but Im just a guy doing a job, said Bale while swallowing entire chickens whole so he could reach his 480-million-calorie goal for the day. During pre-production, Denis [Villeneuve] and I were both in agreement the only way to accurately portray this nuanced character was to increase my body weight by over 249,000 percent. I havent seen my feet or enjoyed a single pleasant, pain-free moment in months, but thats part of the gig.
