Christian Bale – skinny again for “The Fighter”

Damon got fat, whilst Bale got skinny (again!). I was reading a couple of articles where Matt Damon told reporters how fun it was for him to gain 30 pounds to play Mark Whitaker, the corporate VP whistle blower in The Informant!. He basically stopped going to the gym and ate everything in sight. Christian …
