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.'

The Dark Knight
Christian Bale loves playing Batman because it made
him rich.
The 'Batman Begins' star, who will reprise his role as the caped crusader
in 'The Dark Knight', confesses he was struggling to pay the bills before
he landed the role.
Bale told America's GQ magazine: 'I've found myself getting paid, and getting
paid well-it's unbelievable. I never thought that was going to happe n.
Not long before I did Batman, I didn't work for a year-and-a-half. I was
looking for things, just nothing was coming my way.' The 33-year-old actor
even had his mortgage paid for by his agents when he was filming 'American
Psycho' because he was so broke.
However, the actor wouldn't swap his unstable career for any other.
He said: 'Nothing stays really constant and calm. Maybe I bring it on myself.
I'm not sure. I have to admit I'm a little bit of a turbulence addict, because
of growing up with it so much.' Bale struggles to understand people who
plan out every detail of their lives.
He explained: 'What makes me more nervous than anything is knowing exactly
what's going to happen. Being with people who are all very polite and have
planned lives and do things on schedule and life is going just perfectly
for them - I can't deal with that.'
