While he certainly engrosses himself in each and every role in which he takes, Christian Bale also makes sure to spend as much free time as possible focused on his parental duties.

The Golden Globe nominated actor was spotted doing just that while out in Santa Monica on Friday afternoon (December 17), as he lovingly helped his 5-year-old daughter Emmeline bundle up for the rainy weather after finishing up a tasty lunch at the Blue Plate Oysterette.

Stepping out to promote his new movie, Christian Bale was spotted arriving at “Good Morning America” this morning (December 10).

The “Machinist” actor looked a bit scruffy with long hair and an unshaven face as he strolled past the paparazzi.

There’s already all kinds of buzz about the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” films, “The Dark Knight Rises,” and Christian Bale is excited about having Tom Hardy as a costar.

The “Machinist” actor told press he’s impressed with Hardy and sees him as a worthy opponent in the upcoming film.
