That's just not healthy.

Re: The Machinist

He dropped down to 120 pounds from 180ish. He apparently wanted to drop down to 100 for the role but the director / producers wouldn't let him because they already feared for his health.

Re: The Machinist

He wanted to drop more weight? WOW!

Re: The Machinist

I watched it last night. It was a pretty good movie. He did not look good at all. I hope he did the weight loss under doctor supervision.

Re: The Machinist

An apple and cup of coffee? How much was he paid for this?

Re: The Machinist

Did you know if you eat an apple from the core (not cutting in pieces) that it actually has negative calories?

Re: The Machinist

I have that movie on my "have to see" list.
Nothing but good reviews as far as I´ve seen and a friend I´d trust when it comes to films told me to see it.

Bale doesn´t look anything like in American Psycho, that´s for sure.

Re: The Machinist

Yup there is a few things that create negative calories but at least he was getting soem nutrion. Celery is always negative calories

Yeah he was sick looking for sure. It was a decent movie not great but I think it is worth the watch.

Re: The Machinist

it's a weird movie.

drama/thriller.

he's an insomniac and it causes problems at work.


he's a good actor..but this movie didn't do much for me. I lost interest about an hour into it and did something else.

Re: The Machinist

IMDB reports re the Bale Diet:

"Dropped an amazing 63 pounds for his role as the emaciated insomniac Trevor Reznik in the film with only a single vitamin consultation with a nutritionist to guide him. For the most part, he only ate salads and apples, chewed gum, smoked cigarettes, and drank nonfat lattes."
