Christian Bale goes bald! Oscar-winning actor undergoes dramatic transformation to play Frankenstein in new Maggie Gyllenhaal film


Christian Bale is an actor known for undertaking vast body transformations for a role, but for his latest role, he only lost his hair.

Bale was first attached to the project back in August, with director Maggie Gyllenhaal - making her second feature film after her critically-acclaimed debut The Lost Daughter - assembling quite the impressive cast around him. The actor is no stranger to rigorous preparations, famously losing over 60 pounds to play the emaciated Trevor Reznik in 2004's The Machinist. He's also set to star in The Church of Living Dangerously, based on the true story of John Lee Bishop, a mega-church pastor who ended up running drugs for a Mexican cartel.
