Christian scared of Russell before 3:10 To Yuma

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Washington (ANI): Actor Christian Bale has revealed that he was terrified to work with Russell Crowe in the new flick 3:10 To Yuma because many people had warned him that the latter would cause him a lot of trouble during the shooting. The Batman actor who met Crowe for the first time on the set of the western, however, admitted that working with the Oscar winner was a pleasure.

He said that he considered Crowe to be an actor known for giving a hard time to his co-stars, but his opinion flipped when he met the latter. "We'd never met before and whenever people asked me what I was doing next and I said I was going to be working with Russell.

They looked at me and said 'you're going to be in for a rough ride with him. (But) it was truly a pleasure," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. Bale further revealed that during the shooting of the Western film, Crowe mocked at his Batman role so much that he brought the Oz star a rubber suit.
