Christian Charles Philip Bale
Born: 30 January 1974. Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales


Christian Bale was born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales to entrepreneur, commercial pilot, and talent manager David Bale and circus clown and performer Jenny James, both English. He is the youngest of four children. After leaving Wales, Bale spent his childhood in several countries, including England, Portugal, and the United States.
In 1976, when Bale was two years old, his family left Wales and returned to England. They settled for four years in Bournemouth, where Bale attended Bournemouth School and participated actively in rugby union. Bale has described his childhood, with respect to his mother being in the circus, as interesting. He recalled his first kiss was with an acrobat named Barta.As a child, he trained in ballet and guitar. His sister Louise's work in theatre also influenced his decision to become an actor. Furthermore, in an interview Bale speaks of his grandfather being a stand up comedian, ventriloquist, and magician. Bale's father David was very supportive of his son's acting, resigning from his job as a commercial pilot to travel and manage Bale's burgeoning career. David later married feminist icon Gloria Steinem on September 3, 2000 (he had previously divorced Bale's mother Jenny). He died on December 30, 2003, from brain lymphoma, aged 62.
Bale's first foray into acting was a commercial for the fabric softener Lenor in 1982, when he was eight years old. He appeared in a Pac-Man cereal commercial playing a child rock star a year later and in 1984 made his stage debut in the The Nerd, opposite Rowan Atkinson.
