Christian Bale stopped speaking to Chris Rock while filming Amsterdam: ‘I found that I couldn’t act’

Christian Bale revealed he couldn’t stop laughing at Chris Rock on the set of Amsterdam.

The 48-year-old actor opened up about the film in an interview with IndieWire published Monday.

“I remember his first day, I was excited to meet him, I’m a big fan of his stand-up,” he said. “Then he arrives, and he does some things…David [O. Russell] told him to tell me some stories I didn’t know he would tell me, and that’s the way David often works. And I loved it.’

He continued: ‘But Chris is so damn funny and I found I couldn’t act because I just became a Christian and laughed at Chris Rock. So I had to go to him, I went “Mate, I like talking to you, and we have mutual friends, but I can’t do it anymore. Because David didn’t ask me to make this movie, so he just I giggled. He wants me to be Burt, and I’ve forgotten how to be Burt.”

“I often meet these incredible people, but I isolate myself,” he continued. “Because when I get to know people too much, I find that I just don’t believe what I’m doing in the scene.”

Amsterdam will hit wide theaters on Friday, October 7, and the film has a star-studded cast.
