Christian Bale Dishes On His Daredevil Daughter

Landov

Notoriously private when it comes to his personal life, Christian Bale couldn’t help but gush about his little girl during a recent interview with The Insider. While never revealing his daughter’s name, the proud papa shares that the 4-year-old was a regular on set during the filming of Terminator Salvation. Not only did the close daddy-daughter interaction serve as experiences the youngster “will never have,” Christian explains that it also provided the prime opportunity for a quick lesson in dress-up!

“She dresses up as Darth Vader, she dresses up as Yoda and I say, ‘That’s all I do. That’s it. I do exactly the same that you do with your friends.’”

While the intricate costumes and realistic make-up transformations may normally frighten small children, the 35-year-old actor laughs that his daughter is quite the daredevil! “She enjoys coming to visit the sets and she got to play around with the Terminator models,” he says. “She’s at that age where she’s not afraid of anything.”

Despite his continued success, notes Christian, at the end of the day, his primary focus is on his family.

“It’s all about my girls, my wife [Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic] and my daughter. I carry a picture of them with me all the time.”

Terminator Salvation is in theaters Thursday.

Sound Off! When Is the Right Time to Get a Family Pet?


Tatjana Alvegard/Getty

For young families, the decision to get a pet is a big one. They are time consuming and cost a lot of money — but they are also sweet creatures that enrich your lives. So how do you know when to introduce a pet to your family? General Hospital‘s Rebecca Herbst and her family recently welcomed a pet, and with a 5-year-old and 7 ½-year-old, she compares it to having another child!

The responsibilities that come along with any animal — from a hamster to a puppy — are huge, and you want to be sure your children are committed to taking care of their furry friend — cleaning litter boxes and all! On the other hand, some families find it easier to welcome a pet before having children, to “practice” for parenthood and eventually help acclimate the pet to the child, instead of the other way around.

So here’s your chance to Sound Off! Tell us: When do you feel is the right time to get a family pet?
