Christian Bale has revealed that he initially felt claustrophobic in his costume for the new Batman movie.
The actor, who plays the superhero in The Dark Knight, said he had to force himself to remain calm while wearing the Batsuit.
He told Details: "[I was] just thinking, 'This isn't going to work. I'm claustrophobic, I can't breathe, I'm getting a headache already, and this is all going to go very badly'."
He explained that he had eventually figured out how to adjust to the outfit, saying: "I just said to myself, 'Breathe deeply for a few minutes. Try this out. Don't run around yelling... trying to pull the whole thing off'.
"I wasn't going to get it off by myself. It takes three people."
Bale also praised late co-star Heath Ledger for his "incredibly intense" performance in the film.
