Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / December 2004How he lost weight
In the movie "The Machinist" Christian Bale loses 63 pounds. He goes from normal weight down to amazing ultra thin. You can see his bones everywhere. I was wondering how he did it. I read several articles. I appears he starved himself. Here is the best quote: "Bale's diet secret? Books. "When I felt hunger pangs, instead of going for food, I read. It sounds silly, but the brain has a great ability to go into denial - and I convinced myself that that's what I was craving.'' " After doing the movie he regained the weight, rapidly.

You can see his bones everywhere. he doesn't lose weight in the movie. he lost it before shooting started, and his weight remains consistent throughout the film. the character is alarmingly thin, though. scary. Did you forget the scene where he is driving his car at normal body weight? Also, in the movie, he shows his daily logging of his weightloss on post-it notes. It seemed he went from thin to thinner during that phase of the movie. The logical way to shoot it, would be to do the scenes where he is thinnest first, and then have him gain weight to do the earlier scenes. I'm guessing the one scene where he is normal weight was done before any of the actual weightloss, rather than after. > > In the movie "The Machinist" Christian Bale loses 63 pounds.

FWIW, this is how they filmed Adrien Brody in The Pianist. Due to their shooting schedule, they filmed the movie in reverse order. So, Brody was very thin during the early part of the filming (6' 2", 130 lbs), and gained weight during the course of the shoot.
