Christian Bale and Chris Rock: The duo that could have been
Christian Balehas always admiredChris Rock‘s stand-up comedy and his goal of making everyone laugh.David O. Russell, being the man that he is, had already told the comedian to spare a fair share of stories for Bale to enjoy. Just as expected, the actor had a good laugh conversing with Chris Rock on the set with both of them seeing a friend in each other.
This however was not proving so good for Bale from a professional standpoint. To him, the serious outlook of Burt was far from the laughs and giggles that Christian Bale was offering in the first place. Chris Rock’s jokes were just too good for the actor to not take wherever he went. So, in a more professional setting, Bale then decided to instead isolate himself from the comedian to be able to complete the movie.

Christian Bale Chose Profession Over Friendship
In a recent interview with IndieWire, theThor: Love and Thunderstar stated his entire endeavor with Chris Rock and how the decisions he made were necessary for him to get the job done.
“So I had to go to him, I went ‘mate, I love talking to you, and we have mutual friends, but I can’t do it anymore. Because David didn’t ask me to make this film so he could just watch me giggle. He wants me to be Burt, and I’m forgetting how to be Burt.’”
Christian Bale’s decision to isolate himself from Chris Rock was purely in regard to the film itself as the actor remarks about how he finds it difficult to fit in roles if he knows the people he works with a bit too well. He states that he does not believe in his acting if the people around him are much familiar.
