I think that's consistant. Living in 2 countries of Britain he considers himself British rather then Welsh or English. I was born in England and lived for a long time in Wales. I call myself British, because Welsh wouldn't be true, and English would feel like denying all the time I spent in Wales.

Yeah, since he's moved around England so much but was actually born in Wales, I think it makes sense for him to identify himself as British instead of English.

He considers himself and refers to himself as English (where he was primarily raised) as opposed to Welsh (I think the family was only there a short while after he was born). Here's a fairly recent articleRe: his dad mentioned a page or two back, David Bale wasn't a doctor, he was a pilot and then a businessman and an activist (but not an actor per the above article, they're mixing up family members). Here's an obit. As for the whole accent thing, while I miss hearing his lovely accent in recent interviews, he's been doing so many American accents over the last couple of years (almost exclusively) that I understand it's probably just easier for him to keep using it (and in fact he's said it took a surprising amount of work to get it back for The New World). And I also understand his thinking that Batman is such an American icon that it might be weird for audiences to hear a British Bruce Wayne. Last but not least, his daughter is completely adorable. Good damn genes.

From your link mouseketeer--"I don't want people to know who I am." I like that. I hope he gets away with it.
I'm the one who mentioned that about his father. I must have messed it up somehow. When reading the first link you gave, I almost thought that Steinem hadn't been in his life either. I was getting ready to call my friend back (we just got off from a 2 hour conversation).

Yeah, and it was one of Christian's grandfathers who worked with John Wayne.

I've had a crush on him ever since Newsies, but I finally saw Batman last night, and yowza! The crush is bigger than ever. He's a great Batman. I just hope that he's not macking on Katie Holmes again in the next movie.

She's not gonna be in the next sequel because the movie studio was mad that she and Tom hijacked the press during the BB premieres.

A month has gone by and it still pisses me off to think of that (the press hijack, not the fact that CKH won't be in the sequel). Interesting stuff about Christian's family history. I think I read somewhere once that he is also distantly related to Lillie Langtry.

Reason #9230482308408230482304 to love this man:
"Good for them," says Bale sarcastically, recently, about his co-star’s 'situation' while sitting in an air-conditioned suite at The Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, sipping from a bottle of Fiji water. "But who the fuck cares? Most people who really care about each other don’t need to make such a spectacle."
