Chritian Bale, who suffers from the crippling fear of confined spaces, admits he found the famous skin-tight Batsuit hard to cope with when he first tried it on. One look at the outfit and he was pretty sure he would never make it!
Christian, who played the superhero in Batman Begins and reprises his role in The Dark Knight, said, “I was standing on the back lot where they were creating the suit, and I had a few minutes to myself, staring up close in the mirror, just thinking, ‘This isn't going to work. I'm claustrophobic, I can't breathe, I'm getting a headache already, and this is all going to go very badly.’ ” But what could be worse than losing a prized role just because he couldn’t handle the Batsuit?
Christain braved his phobia and faced his fears because he was determined to take on the role because he had flashes of how dumb it would sound if he said, “Well, I wasn't able to play that character because I panicked every time I got in the suit!”
