“Dark Knight” Actor Christian Bale Performs Another Super Act of Kindness
So, I was poking around on the web tonight, and found the following:
___________________________________________________
In July, I posted the story of actor Christian Bale, star of the Dark Knight trilogy, visiting victims of the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, while they were in the hospital recovering. He didnt pursue any media coverage for this. Pictures only got out because the families of the victims he visited were excited to share this gesture of kindness. Now Christian Bale has done it again.
Four-year-old Jayden Barber from Ohio was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago. Despite chemotherapy, it spread to his bones, and Jayden was diagnosed as terminal. It was Jaydens greatest wish to meet the superhero, Batman, so according to the Facebook page of an animal rescue organization called Gremlin the Therapy Dog a local family made that dream come true by throwing a party and having someone dress up as Batman for Jayden. A few days later, Christian Bale got wind of Jaydens wish and flew him and his entire family out to Los Angeles.
Bale spent a whole day at Disneyland with Jayden and put his family up at a hotel there for a week.

(1,846 posts)His father was a confirmed Democrat. When he was in the hospital being treated, every time he was asked if he had any allergies he loudly proclaimed "Yes! I'm allergic to George W. Bush!"
I've always liked and respected Bale because he'll sell his work but not himself. When asked his opinions on politics, social issues, etc., his response is invariably "Who the hell cares what I think? I'm just an actor!"
