Who's Hotter? Play Now
Actor Christian Bale warned off stars including
Ewan McGregor to ensure he landed the lead role
in American Psycho -
because he had already beaten Leonardo DiCaprio
to be in with a chance of winning the part,
WENN reports July 21st.
The actor, who stars as Batman in forthcoming film
The Dark Knight, was ecstatic when DiCaprio dropped
out of the running for American Psycho -
and was determined that no-one else should
land the movie role.
He tells The People,
"I had to make a decision either to accept I
wasn't going to get the part because Leo
was a much bigger star or do battle.
"I kept saying I was going to play the lead
and people wondered if I was losing my mind.
It reached the point where the film studio said about me,
'Don't mention his name again.'
"But when Leo dropped out, the film company said,
'Let's call that crazy guy who keeps telling everyone
he can play the lead.'
I even warned other actors off - including Ewan McGregor.
I was not going to be bullied out of the part -
I was going to stand up for myself and fight.
