<p>Former <em>Batman</em> actor, Christian Bale, is portraying the character of US politician Dick Cheney.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://variety.com/2018/film/news/christian-bale-dick-cheney-first-look-vice-1202965801/"><strong><em><u>Variety</u></em></strong></a>, the star shaved his head, bleached his eyebrows and put on 18kg to achieve a resemblance to Cheney.</p>
<p>In an interview with <em>CBS</em>, Bale said that this was the first time he considered his health while undergoing an extreme transformation for a movie role.</p>
<p>“It was the first time in my life that I realized I had to do this in a smart way. I’ve lost weight, I’ve gained weight, [but] I never went to a nutritionist in my life,” he said in December.</p>
<p>“It was the first time that I said, ‘You know what? I better really do this the right way.’”</p>
<p>“In the past for losing weight I went, ‘Ah, I’ll just smoke and drink whiskey and eat everything,’ and it worked! But I’m in my mid-40s now and I just thought, ‘Probably just eating cream puffs nonstop is not gonna be so good for my ticker,’” he said.</p>

<p>Bale has shocked fans on multiple occasions with the intense physical transformations he undergoes.</p>
<p>In 2004, the actor dieted for four months to play a man with crippling insomnia, bringing his weight down to just 54kg.</p>
<p>The star then had just six months to bulk up for his role in <em>Batman Begins</em>.</p>
<p><em>Vice</em> is scheduled for US release on Christmas Day and will feature other A-listers, including Amy Adams, Steve Carell, Tyler Perry and Sam Rockwell.</p>
