For that role, Bale didn’t seek any weight loss guidance from a professional. He said that his diet consisted of one can of tuna and one apple per day. He figured that if he felt okay, he could keep going. He got down to 120 pounds and the rumor is that he wanted to go further, but producers warned him against it.
