In the film, Bale acted the role of Richard Cheney who was the 46th vice president of the United States
The 76th Golden Globes Award took place on Sunday, January 6, at the Beverly Hilton in California, United States.
Social media has been buzzing about the wins, the fashion and the acceptance speeches, but nothing has trended as much as what Christian Bale said during his acceptance speech for his second Golden Globes win.
Christian Bale, an A-list Hollywood actor, won the award for best actor in a comedy or musical for his role in the movie, Vice. He shocked everyone after he gave thanks to an unconventional figure during his acceptance speech.
The popular actor gave thanks to Satan for inspiring his role as Richard Cheney in the movie. He said: “Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration for playing this role.”
Bale also thanked his wife and children. He said: “She knows the dumb crap that can come out of my mouth at times. I can sink and ruin a perfectly good movie and so-so career in one speech. So thank you for that advice, my love.”
Richard Bruce Cheney is an American politician and businessman who served as the 46th Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009.
The actor’s acceptance speech not only got mixed reactions on social media, it also got a response from the Church of Satan.
In a tweet, the group reacted positively to Bale’s thanks to Satan. “To us, Satan is a symbol of pride, liberty and individualism, and it serves as an external metaphorical projection of our highest personal potential. As Mr. Bale’s own talent and skill won him the award, this is fitting. Hail Christian! Hail Satan!”
It could be assumed that the actor thanked Satan due to how he played his role as Richard Cheney or it could due to his religious beliefs. Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported a story of a man who doubted the existence of God. The man had dared God to kill him to prove he truly exists.
