[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Christian Bale/Gary Oldham

[kemper mentor]

Marita Jan: 
..... but Christian Bale, especially when his hair was long at the beginning of the movie, is the image I have of Sirius as he's described in the books, especially the young handsome Sirius in Snape's pensieve scene. As much as I really enjoyed Gary Oldham's performance in PoA, he just isn't (to me) pretty enough to fit how I see Sirius. 


theotokos:
I completely agree!  I like Gary Oldham just fine but he is not handsome by any means.  JKR said [paraphrasing] Yes, Sirius is sexy--or maybe it was handsome.  Christian Bale would have been perfect, but alas he is not British.  Wait, is Gary?

Kemper:

Christian Bale was in Empire of the Sun when he was twelve-ish playing a British kid.  I haven't seen it years, but he sounded pretty British to this American non-Psycho.  And, again, Gary Oldman sounded pretty British playing Sid Vicious to this Sex Pistol.

Bale is a believable and refreshing Batman.  But Oldman's future-Commissioner Jim Gordon, was even better.
