They might call me crazy, but I'm enthusiastic driver: 'Ford v Ferrari' actor Christian Bale

Actor Christian Bale has recently come out and called himself an enthusiastic driver. He did so ahead of his movie 'Ford V Ferrari's Television release.

"They might call me crazy. I say I`m enthusiastic," said Bale, who played race car driver Ken Miles in the 2019 film 'Ford v Ferrari'.

He got all the driving that he ever wanted to do for the film.

"I really did, actually. Yeah. I got to do all of that. It was absolutely incredible. It`s hypnotising and addictive," said Bale.

"And you know, let`s be realistic. I can`t compete with the pros that we had. You know, they would have been very slow, dull races. I would have felt like I was going at the clappers. But, you know, it wouldn`t have been look so good. So I gotta go. Hey, you know, hand over to the pros. But in my own very immature way, man, I had a blast," he added.

The sports drama depicts how American car designer Carroll Shelby and Miles battle corporate interference and the laws of physics to build a race car for Ford in order to defeat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966.

The film will air on Star Movies.
