Just Jared posted some pictures of Christian Bale looking like a balding, crack-addicted shell of his former self in Los Angeles yesterday, where he was shooting scenes for The Fighter as Dickie Eklund, a boxer who becomes a balding, crack-addicted shell of his former self (GRR, METHOD ACTING!). Bale stars opposite Mark Wahlberg, with David O. Russell (who was hired after Darren Aronofsky bowed out) behind the cameras. Fun fact: David O. Russell’s freakout on the set of I Heart Huckabees was the Christian Bale Tirade of a couple years ago, so this could be a fun set.
After the jump, see part of the episode of HBO’s “High on Crack Street”, dug up by /Film, featuring the real-life Dickie Eklund. He surprises the interviewer by telling him he used to be a professional boxer, and that he once fought Sugar Ray Leonard. Meanwhile, all I could think about was this chick, and how she probably gives awesome blowjobs. I wonder what it’s like to wake up and look yourself in a mirror and go, “Hey, look at that. I am literally a toothless crack whore.” That must be a crazy feeling. I should ask your mom about it.

I was once caught yanking the dog to the Sears catalogue bra section. I explained to my moms that I was preparing for a roll in a school play and that I was a method jacker.
