Christian Bale's accent is freaking out people on Twitter
It was how he said it: in his own natural Welsh accent.
The actor is famous for both his physical and vocal transformations in films such as "Vice," "American Hustle" and "The Fighter."
And while he routinely speaks with his natural accent in interviews, hearing it during the Golden Globes still came as a bit of a shock to many viewers, even those who knew his nationality:
I constantly forget that Christian Bale’s real accent sounds like a cartoon chimney sweep #GoldenGlobes

Christian Bale's real life accent sounds like the cabbie that discovers a dead body in a BBC procedural. Make it make sense.

Apparently I’m the only person on the internet who already knew Christian Bale is British and saw EMPIRE OF THE SUN in theatres.

I know Christian Bale is *actually* British but it still feels like he’s pretending to be British as a bit
