The #UNSAFE Generation.

He should feel safer in a Mom & Pop Bodega if upon entering he doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t look anyone in the eye and keeps his eyes glued to his iPhone the whole time!

OK, this has been obsessing me! I Photoshopped in his natural eyebrows in the bottom shot. I think you may be right! But the combination of weight gain and bleached eyebrows has an uncanny effect!

Are guns really enough to ensure personal safety, though? I’m wondering if we each need to be carrying personal nuclear weapons: for maximum deterrence.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It’s like both physiques reflect a similar increase in weight, but one appears to be an “over all” gain while the other is focused in the midsection (gut).

Yes, the weight gain/weight loss cycles some actors practice is incomprehensible to me. I cannot imagine doing that kind of thing in the time frames they appear to accomplish it under, and still have the sanity to hold down a job. Jared Leto said that to lose the weight he gained for Chapter 27, he literally just stopp…

I don’t think he looks fat; I think his physiognomy is so altered that he looks like a different person. He bleached his brows for a role.

Yes, I agree, the eyebrows do play a part. But I’ve been looking at the new pictures for the past hour and the transformation is astonishing. Even with the dark brows, I think I would have no idea this was Bale.

I know, I hear you! Jared Leto is another one who gains and drops weight like I turn lights on and off with a switch. His control over the appearance is astonishing. But he has said that he will never gain weight like he did for Chapter 27 ever again– that it was foolish and dangerous.

I think he looks like a completely different person!! He’s gained a good 40 - 50 lbs for a new role.

Christian Bale’s latest metamorphosis proves that weight gain or weight loss can transform some individuals into completely different people. To my eyes, the man pictured above is literally unrecognizable as Christian Bale.

The reason Liam Neeson’s action films are popular is because it is in fact electrifying to see someone his age in those kinds of high-octane, death-defying scenarios. His age is key to why they’re so good. We’re all quite accustomed to seeing the 20-something, 30-something, 40-something (Fast & Furious type) action…

Right on. Some people manage to use symbolism in a very powerful manner.

Thanks for posting. Looking at old videos of Sinead O’Connor often brings Kristen Stewart to mind. Not the musical talent, obviously, but something about the quality of the persona.

Exactly. They’re trying to make it impossible not to use it.

And what about all your first world emergencies??? What if you needed to play Pokemon Go and you didn’t have you phone? What then???

Are you saying that divorce via text message is worse than having your character assassinated by an army of supermodels?

Let’s not forget that Katy Perry wrote one of pop’s most erotically-charged anthems about her courtship with Brand.

Thank you. If Katy Perry is so interested in reconciling with Taylor Swift, why would she be averse to Russell Brand’s effort to make amends with her?

Using a land line eliminates the problem completely.
