Christian Bale Reveals He Has a Career Thanks to Leo DiCaprio Rejecting Roles

American actor, Christian Bale has taken a moment to express his gratitude to Leonardo DiCaprio for unwittingly playing a role in his rise to fame, as reported by Marca.

The actor attributed DiCaprio’s failure to accept parts in important movies to his own ability to audition for and get those roles.

“Look, to this day, any role that anybody gets, it’s only because he’s passed on it beforehand,” Bale jokingly said to GQ in an interview.

“It doesn’t matter what anyone tells you. It doesn’t matter how friendly you are with the directors. All those people that I’ve worked with multiple times, they all offered every one of those roles to him first.”

“So, thank you, Leo, because literally, he gets to choose everything he does,” Bale concluded. “And good for him, he’s phenomenal.”

Bale stated that he has never taken it personally when casting directors pass him over in favor of the actor, despite the fact that others may become embroiled in a game of unfriendly rivalry as a result of learning that DiCaprio allegedly receives primary preference on projects.

“No. Do you know how grateful I am to get any damn thing? I mean, I can’t do what he does,” Bale shared.

“And he does it magnificently. But I would suspect that almost everybody of similar age to him in Hollywood owes their careers to him passing on whatever project it is.”
