Christian Bale Vegetarian

Christian Bale Vegetarian

Batman star Christian Bale is finding it hard to maintain his vegetarianism because he is often struck with the strong compulsion to eat meat.

The actor turned vegetarian when he was seven years old and kept it up for nearly 20 years, until an odd movie theatre experience left him craving meat.

He tells GQ magazine, "I was in Toronto and went to see the (1997) movie Life is Beautiful by myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian.
"It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other and got the biggest bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost 20 years."
