Vegetarian Star

Christian Bale said that although he had been a vegetarian since 7, he went on a meat eating rampage after viewing Life Is Beautiful.  But at least he’s sporting a nice animal rights shirt at the LAX airport.

Sea Shepherd was founded by Paul Watson, the same dude who runs the helm on the Animal Planet whale saving series Whale Wars.

According to green gossip site, Ecorazzi.com, Bale has been spotted in this shirt before.

Either he’s a Sea Shepherd lover or has a favorite shirt similar to Linus’ blanket that he just can’t do without.

We’re hoping for the first of the two options and that Christian cares about saving whales as much as Captain Watson and his Whale Wars crew does.

Now if we can just keep him on the veg path…

In a recent interview with GQ magazine, Dark Night Terminator dude Christian Bale has admitted to some less than vegetarian ways.

Bale failed to pay his membership dues to the veg club shortly after completing filming for American Psycho.

The bodybuilding and unbuilding you’ve done for your roles is alarming—the former all the more so for its being accomplished without any animal protein.
Actually, I’m in and out of the vegetarianism now. But yeah, the majority of the building up you’re talking about was done when I was still a vegetarian.

Dietary reasons? Or something to do with the character?
I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.

Argh! Life is beautiful, but not so much for animals when Christian gets his vampire cravings for bloody steak.

Why the change of heart (less), man?

Is hummus thicker than water? Vegetarian Bryce Dallas Howard recently defended Christian Bale, who is also veg, on recent allegations that he created a hostile environment on The Terminator by throwing temper tantrums on the set. Bale has been making headlines lately for an alleged assault on his mother and sister.

Howard, who played Bale’s wife, insisted he was nothing but a gentleman and suggested the role he played may have caused him to be misunderstood.

“This man is just a gentleman, an amazing person. I adore him and I just can’t wait to be with him next week,” said Howard.

“(His character) John Connor is a very intense character… and so misinterpretations could happen.”

Both Howard and Bale are vegetarians. Howard was introduced to veganism by Joaquin Phoenix, her co-star on The Village. Phoenix apparently showed her a documentary on animal cruelty called Earthlings. Howard reported in 2006 that she switched to vegetarian in order to help her boost her amino acid levels in preparation for pregnancy.

So you’ve probably already heard the news about Christian Bale’s arrest for assaulting his mother and sister. Bale has denied the charges.

With all of the negative press surrounding him lately, we thought we’d take a moment to highlight a more positive face of this actor.

Bale turned vegetarian at age 6 after reading Charlotte’s Web and has been active in numerous welfare groups such as Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund.

He was quoted once saying:

“My family has always been very interested in animal care and animal rights.  All my pets are from rescue homes so I tend to be aware of these issues.”
