Více o knize
The darkest Batman is unmasked. During the London press junket for *The Dark Knight* in 2008, Christian Bale faced allegations of assaulting his mother and sister at the Dorchester Hotel. Six months later, a leaked recording of his explosive outburst on the set of *Terminator Salvation* further shaped his public persona. Beyond his notorious temper, Bale, an Academy Award winner for *The Fighter*, is celebrated for his remarkable physical transformations in films like *American Psycho* and *The Machinist*, as well as his iconic portrayal of Batman. In this biography, Best Biography winner in the 2013 Indie Excellence Awards, Harrison Cheung—Bale’s former publicist and assistant—provides an insider’s perspective on the actor’s private life. Having worked closely with Bale and his father for a decade, Cheung reveals the family’s dysfunction, Bale’s dark humor, and his intense commitment to acting. Recognizing Bale's aversion to traditional publicity, Cheung initiated a comprehensive online marketing strategy, created his first official website, and nurtured the Baleheads fan community, which helped elevate Bale’s profile and secure his role as the Caped Crusader. Co-written with entertainment reporter Nicola Pittam, this biography traces Bale’s evolution from a shy child actor to a Hollywood figure marked by controversy. *FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY*
