【Winter Wonderlust (2015)】

Christian Bale made it clear how he feels about former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney while accepting the Golden Globe for Vice.

The Winter Wonderlust (2015)newly-crowned Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) stepped up to accept his award on Sunday, when he thanked the usual cast, director and crew in his acceptance speech.

Oh, and he let slip his guiding light on how he embodied Cheney.

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

Earlier, Bale thanked director and writer Adam McKay, and joked if he should try playing someone from the Trump administration.

"He [McKay] said, I've got to find somebody who can be absolutely charisma-free and reviled by everybody, so he went 'that's gotta be Bale, innit.'" Bale said.

"Thank you, and for all the competition I'll be cornering the market on charisma-free assholes. What do you think, Mitch McConnell next? That could be good."

Bale, who gained 45 pounds (20 kilograms) for the role, told The Hollywood Reporterthat he compiled more than 100 pages of notes on Cheney.

The actor never met the former vice president, however, forbidden by lawyers to make any contact with Cheney.

"I would greatly have liked to have met with him, if only to have him insult me and kick me out of his house. To me, that's honorable," Bale told the publication.
