China says Christian Bale should feel embarrassed
A Chinese government spokesman says Christian Bale should feel embarrassed for trying to visit an activist while he was in the country to promote a movie that China has submitted for an Oscar.
Bale was physically stopped by government-backed guards from visiting blind activist Chen Guangcheng in eastern China last week. A CNN crew he was traveling with recorded the scuffle.
Asked whether the publicity has been embarrassing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said Wednesday he thought the actor should feel embarrassed not China.
He says the actor was invited by director Zhang Yimou to attend the opening ceremony of the film “The Flowers of War.”
Lui said: “He was not invited to fabricate news or shoot films in a certain village.”
Wow! This is becoming so controversial!

Sigh..
Christian Bale is the most talented and handsome British Actor alive in my opinion and I know that I am hardly alone in saying that!! How incredibly lucky is his wife?? Or not?? Strategic timing is everything in life! She got him young before his rise to fame and fortune. I’m not a jealous person by nature but I have to admit that I might be more than a little bit insecure if he were my husband. Too many gorgeous and talented women chasing after him.
I think Georgina Chapman Weinstein had the right idea! You’ll always be very happy, secure and feel like a prize possession in an arrangement like that. She is a very smart woman! No wonder my mother was always telling me to marry a much older and accomplished man! Don’t be a late bloomer like me and listen to my mother!!! : )
Oh great, another white saviour movie.
