Vice – out Friday 25 January
Watch the trailer
Born in Haverfordwest, Wales, Christian
Bale might seem like an unlikely
candidate to play one of America’s most
controversial political figures, but the
44-year-old actor is undeniably brilliant
as Dick Cheney, nailing not just the
Washington grandee’s distinctive drawl,
but also his mannerisms. Hollywood
loves a transformation and this one is
so complete, you’ll probably spend the
first part of Vice wondering if it really
is Bale. He shaved his head, bleached his
eyebrows and put on 40 pounds for the
role (by “eating a lot of pies”). And it’s
likely to pay off this awards season, with
the actor the current bookies’ favourite.

As loving father David Sheff in
Beautiful Boy, the usually comedic
Carell is heartbreakingly good. He
could also win for Welcome to Marwen.
