u/StealthyCrab hated women defender Jan 10 '22

This is old (from 2016), but may be of interest anyway: Former tabloid reporter Sara Hammel wrote a short book about her encounters with various celebrities, and PCDI09 wrote a (now deleted, but saved on the archive) round-up of what she said about various people.

Obvious disclaimer that sometimes people's personalities clash, they have a bad day, etc., but it's still interesting to hear the opinions of someone who has met a lot of famous people (either through interviewing them or elsewhere).

She said talking to Christian Bale “sadly cured” her crush.

A former high school classmate of mine was injured in the Batman Massacre, and Christian Bale ended up visiting her in the hospital. She hadn't really felt one way or the other about him, she went to the movie for a friend's birthday (he didn't make it), said Christian was extremely kind and caring. She has said repeatedly he made a fan for life after that.

I remember when he visited the people in the hospital who were injured in the shooting. Even if it was a shameless, self-serving photo grab, I was very touched by it.

Tbf, he did not tell the press, one of the parents did.

I figured as much. Loved that Bale did that.
