“Christian Bale was one of the coolest, nicest people I had the chance to meet while working as an assistant to a famous filmmaker. He and my boss went out to a rented racetrack in the desert for a track day with formula Renault’s and CB’s bike. He was very cordial and polite, was willing to talk and shoot the s@#t. My main job of the day was to get lunch for everyone and Christian was cool, had a very easy order, just wanted a sandwich, no crazy instructions. Best of all, when we were all done with lunch, he helped me clean up. I in no way expected his assistance and would have thought he was just as nice had he not helped but it really meant a lot. Not many of the people I was working with at the time would have bothered to help me out, but he did. It doesn’t sound like much, but when you are relegated to the grunt work on an outing, getting help feels really good.”
