00:00Actor Christian Bale revealed that he was called Bruce Wayne by Donald Trump when he met the
00:03President of the United States in person. The actor, who portrayed the hero Batman in the
00:07Dark Knight trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan, recalled the incident in an interview
00:10with Variety magazine. The 44-year-old star said he believes Trump thought he was actually
00:14talking to the superhero's alter ego. According to Bale, the meeting between the two took place
00:18in 2012, while he was filming one of the movies featuring the hero he portrayed.
00:22We were filming at Trump Tower and he invited me to go to his office, the actor said. I think
00:26he
00:26believed I was Bruce Wayne, because I was dressed as Bruce Wayne and he talked to me as if I
00:29were
00:29Bruce Wayne and I went along with it. It was quite fun, said Bale. At the time I had no
00:33idea he would consider running for President.
