Christian Bale Cuts His Long Hair: Love It or Hate It?

Christian Bale Hair at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Francis Specker/Landov

When Christian Bale appeared with a bushy beard and shoulder-length hair two weeks ago at the Golden Globes, the actor admitted to reporters that going shaggy was a simple matter of “unemployment. I haven’t worked since The Fighter.” And when he turned up at Sunday night’s SAG Awards with a cleaned-up coif, his explanation was equally straightforward: “Employment,” he told Giuliana Rancic during E! Live from the Red Carpet. “I got a job, so, you know, I had to.” The lumberjack beard might remain, but long hair or short, we can’t help but think that it’s pretty tough for this actor to look anything other than appealing, but what do you think? Tell us: Are you happy that Christian had to clean up his act — or do you miss his long locks? – Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

He looks so much better, although, he should just keep his goatee and ditch the full beard. I think
it would slim down his face.

Tiff on

it looks better…but his facial hair, no…

Ann on

Gorgeous man. But a shave might be in order though – stache and beard hides too much of his face.

TJ on

Now if he’d just lose the facial hair…

Jessica on

Hmm…he missed some spots…he looks dirty

Barb BEnson on

I love his long thick hair but no beard or a trimmed goatee would be better than the beard

Gretchen on

At least the long hair looked clean.

hmm on

Beard has to go, he is so much cuter without it.

Shannon on

prefer clean-cut hair and face on him

Carol Sanman on

Hair still needs some work. That beard does nothing for him. Looks 100% better clean shaven.
