Here’s Your First Official Look at Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in ‘Vice’
Entertainment Studios Motion PicturesChristian Bale has undergone yet another complete physical makeover, this time to play former vice president Dick Cheney in the upcoming biopic “Vice.” And while we’ve seen some paparazzi shots of the actor’s stunning transformation, we now have our first official photos of Bale in character as Cheney — and they’re nothing short of incredible.
The images, debuted by Vanity Fair, reveal Cheney at two distinct points in his life, which bookend the film. Though not many details about the flick have been released so far, it’s said to have a comedic tone, and center on Cheney’s role as the man who shaped George W. Bush’s presidency.
Here are the photos, along with a side-by-side comparison with the real Cheney.

It’s pretty hard to deny Bale’s resemblance to the former VP (thanks to both the actor’s physical work, as well as that of many talented hairstylists and makeup artists — who really do deserve their moment in the spotlight come Oscars time, by the way). And if the Oscar winner’s past performances are any indication, he’s likely to nail Cheney’s voice and mannerisms, too.
We’re set to get a full trailer tomorrow, but director Adam McKay shared a short tease to whet audiences’ appetites. It features brief glimpses of other actors as famous real-life figures, including Sam Rockwell (playing a very convincing W) and Amy Adams (as Cheney’s wife, Lynne).

Christian Bale’s Dick Cheney Movie Gets Title and Release Date
Warner Bros. Hey, remember those photos of Christian Bale‘s latest physical transformation — the ones that became dad bod memes? That’s for his role as former Vice President Dick Cheney in the upcoming Adam McKay film.
That film — formerly “Untitled Dick Cheney Project” — is now officially called “Vice.”
The movie will open in theaters on Christmas Day this year. If you’re thinking Oscars, you’re probably right.
The first trailer is coming this Wednesday, October 3, giving us the first official look at the star-studded cast in action.
That cast includes Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney, marking a reunion with Bale after “The Fighter” and “American Hustle.” The film also marks a reunion for Bale and his “The Big Short” director McKay.
“Vice” also stars Steve Carell (another “Big Short” alum), Sam Rockwell, Jesse Plemons, Alison Pill, Lily Rabe, Tyler Perry, Justin Kirk, Lisagay Hamilton, Shea Whigham, and Eddie Marsan.
Here’s the synopsis:
“VICE explores the epic story about how a bureaucratic Washington insider quietly became the most powerful man in the world as Vice-President to George W. Bush, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today.”
As a sidenote, this story has nothing to do with Batman other than Christian Bale. But 1) we needed a photo, and 2) we miss Bale as Batman. Considering the reports about Ben Affleck leaving, it’s not too late to make that $100 million rumor true…
