• At the 76th Golden Globes, Christian Bale won an award for best performance by an actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for his role as former Vice President Dick Cheney in “Vice.”
  • When the 44-year-old actor gave a speech on stage, people were astounded to learn that he’s British, especially since he often uses different accents based on roles he’s portraying.
  • Bale is from Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.

Christian Bale accepted an award at the 2019 Golden Globes, and some people were surprised to learn that the actor is British.

On Sunday, Bale attended the 76th Golden Globes, which was held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, and hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg. The 44-year-old actor took home the award for best performance by an actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy for his role as former Vice President Dick Cheney in “Vice.”

While on stage thanking Satan for inspiring his performance, some people were astounded to find out that Bale isn’t American. Even though the award-winning actor often portrays American roles in films (like Bruce Wayne in the “Batman” movies and Irving Rosenfeld in “American Hustle”), true fans will know the actor was actually born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK.

After watching his speech, people took to Twitter to share their confused reactions.

And even though some fans already knew about his true accent, they forgot. Others still felt like his voice was inauthentic.
