Golden Globes 2019: Christian Bale thanks ‘Satan’ for inspiring him to play Dick Cheney in Vice

Christian Bale has a thing for doing everything in a quirky and different way. Be it his award acceptance speech. Christian Bale won a Golden Globe for his role as Dick Cheney in Vice, taking the time in his acceptance speech to thank Satan for inspiration in playing the former vice president and calling Cheney and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell “charisma-free a**holes.”

"Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role," he said. 

The 44-year-old actor also thanked "Vice” writer and director Adam McKay with a self-deprecating bit about his casting in the role."(McKay had) to find somebody who can be absolutely charisma-free and reviled by everybody," Bale joked.

"And he went, ‘Ah, it’s got to be Bale in it.’ "Thank you, and for all the competition, I will be cornering the market on charisma-free (expletive)," he continued. “What do you think, Mitch McConnell next? That would be good.”
