Christian Bale and Wife Attend Film Premiere!

Christian Bale made a rare appearance with his wife Sibi Blazic as they attended the premiere of his new film The Bride! in London on Thursday. 

The actor, 52, was supported by his partner, 55, who he has been married to for 26 years, on the red carpet at Cineworld Leicester Square. 

Christian plays Frankenstein's monster in 's new film, which tells the tale of the creation of the monster's 'bride', played by . 

Posing for photos at the event, he wore an all-black ensemble consisting of a blazer with a shirt and smart trousers. 

Sibi put on a glamorous display in an elegant midi dress which featured long sleeves and a sweetheart-style neckline. 

She teamed her outfit with a pair of classic stiletto heels and carried a small leather clutch bag.  

A synopsis for the film reads: In 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. 

'They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change.'

Christian recently revealed that it was his transformation for his role in The Bride! that proved to be the most challenging - despite it requiring no effort from him at all. 

In order to get into character, Christian would have to spend six hours every day in makeup, with sitting still for such a long period nearly turning him 'insane'. 

He found being inactive such a struggle that he would have to 'scream like crazy, every day' on set, explaining: 'Just to [release the] despair, all of that restraint that you have to display when you're sitting still for that long.... 

'I didn't want to do it driving into work because I thought I might cause a crash. And I didn't want to do it by myself because I thought everyone would just think I'm going nuts.'

Christian added to Entertainment Weekly that he enlisted his hair and makeup team to unleash a primal scream with him every day, which he says was a 'great bonding experience'. 

He continued: 'Oh man, I'm telling you, the whole crew got involved by the end, because people would hear us screaming.' 

Christian continued: 'We would open the doors, and gradually, a bit like the Bride's revolution, a few people were going, "Can we do it too?" And then by the end, there were like 30 people who would hear us and run to the makeup trailer to be a part of it and scream.'

While the lengthy makeup sessions would no doubt prove taxing for many, it's interesting that Christian found them such a struggle given his history with pushing himself to the limits for his film roles. 

Despite insisting he is not a method actor, Christian has adopted dangerous methods to get into character, most notably losing 62lbs in four months in order to play an insomniac factory worker in The Machinist. 

Christian revealed he slashed the number on the scales from 182lbs to just 121lbs after surviving on 200 calories a day while still exercising, eating just a tin of tuna, an apple and a black coffee a day. Christian also smoked cigarettes to help reduce his appetite.
