Christian Bale ‘Emaciated’

Christian Bale has gotten super-skinny for his role in new movie The Fighter — and his friend and costar Mark Wahlberg is worried about the British actor’s health.

The 35-year-old has continued to starve himself after dropping more than 40 pounds.

“Christian IS a method actor,” a Hollywood insider told the National Enquirer.

“If a role calls for him to look like a drug dealer, or he has to play someone who hasn’t slept in a year, he’ll go without food to look the part.

“But the danger comes after he takes off all that weight, and then eats everything in sight to put it back on for the next role. That kind of yo-yo dieting can be deadly. Mark and Christian are friends, and Mark is concerned about him.”
