Christian Bale: Trump ‘thought I was Bruce Wayne’

Published December 12, 2018 6:59pm ET



Actor Christian Bale, who portrayed comic book hero Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne in three films, thinks that Donald Trump might have actually thought he was Bruce Wayne in a meeting in the future president’s office at Trump Tower.

“I met him, one time,” Bale told Variety. “We were filming on ‘Batman’ in Trump Tower and he said, ‘Come on up to the office.’ I think he thought I was Bruce Wayne, because I was dressed as Bruce Wayne. So he talked to me like I was Bruce Wayne and I just went along with it, really. It was quite entertaining. I had no idea at the time that he would think about running for president.”
