American Psycho<\/a><\/em> <\/strong>remains a staple of cult-classic fandom more than two decades after its release in 2000. Christian Bale’s<\/strong><\/a> delivery of Patrick Bateman, a psychopathic New York investment banker who’d rather delve into his deepest and darkest desires than watch the stock market, was iconic and a performance that ascended his profile into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

Directed by Mary Harron and starring the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, and Justin Theroux, American Psycho<\/em> was adapted from a novel of the same name and written by Bret Easton Ellis, and published in 1991. <\/p>\n

So, how old was Bale when he played the sadistic mergers and acquisitions executive working for Pierce & Pierce? <\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actor was born on January 30, 1974, in Wales, and since the film was shot in 1999, Bale was 25-26 years old. <\/p>\n

Although he was credited for around 20 acting roles before he played Bateman, Bale’s leading role in American Psycho<\/em> proved to be the push his career needed. That decade, he starred in several blockbuster films, including Christopher Nolan’s Batman<\/a><\/em> trilogy, 3:10 to Yuma<\/em>, The Prestige<\/em>, and The Machinist. <\/em>He also voiced Howl in Studio Ghibli’s beloved anime movie Howl’s Moving Castle<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And around 10 years after dropping a chainsaw onto a victim running down a stairwell, he won an Academy Award for his supporting role in 2010’s The Fighter<\/em>.<\/p>\n
