"It doesn't matter who tells you, it doesn't matter how friendly you are with the director. Everyone I've worked with has always offered him (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the past," Christian Bale said.

"I know this from some people who told me," he said confidently.

Bale also thanked Leonardo DiCaprio for rejecting these roles. On the one hand, Bale did not want to get the big spotlight as Leonardo DiCaprio received.

"So thank you Leo. because he can choose everything he wants. And that's good for him, he's phenomenal," said Christian Bale.

"I don't think I can do what he does. I also don't want the spotlight he gets but I think everyone who has the same age as him in Hollywood owes him a career on any project," he explained.

Christian Bale has had a career in the film world for more than 20 years. But he never thought of himself as a suitable actor for the main character.

"Even when I become the main character, I will play the fourth or fifth character, because that role will give you freedom," he said.

Christian Bale is back with his latest film, Amsterdam directed by David O. Russell. He collided with Margot Robbie and John David Washington.
