CHRISTIAN BALE WON'T DO ROMANTIC COMEDY UNLESS HE'S HOMELESS

Christian Bale Is Better Action Star

Christian Bale would only star in a romantic comedy if he was homeless.The 'Batman Begins' star considers himself a serious actor and would only ever agree to appear in a funny love story if he was seriously desperate. Bale told America's GQ magazine : "I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting. In terms of the romantic kind of lead, I just never enjoy those movies very much."Bale admits his opinions may change as he ages, but he believes romantic comedies are a total contradiction.The 33-year-old explained: "Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it, but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be, for me, an oxymoron."

I still will with other people, but not with her. So in no way am I ever going to have her being confused about me, my presence or absence or whatever. That has to change. And I've been able to do that."Surprisingly, the 33-year-old star has also revealed he enjoyed starving himself for his role in 'The Machinist', because he revelled in the challenge.He said: "Sometimes you want to torture yourself a little bit and know that you can come out on the other side.
