The MMA analyst often takes time to highlight other people’s work that he enjoys. Besides, being involved in an industry where weight management is a big factor, some of Christian Bale’s appearances wowed the JRE host.
After Peters mentioned Keaton as his favorite Batman, Rogan said, “Christian Bale is a pretty f**ing good Batman too… That guy was willing to do things that most people are not willing to do, like he’s willing to get fat; He’s willing to like almost die of starvation.”
The BJJ and Taekwondo black belt holder continued, “If you watch the Machinist, which is not the best movie, but what’s interesting about the movie is just Christian Bale. He’s basically a skeleton… and six months later he’s batman, jacked.”
According to Men’s Health, the Batman trilogy star dropped 25 kg in a span of just 4 months. His daily diet included a black coffee, one apple, and a tin of tuna during this time.
Since making weight is an important play in Rogan’s field of expertise, i.e., MMA. The veteran commentator put Khamzat Chimaev on-the-spot right after his win at UFC 279.

“You came into this fight far overweight. What was that all about?” Rogan asked.
“I don’t care about that sh**,” the Swede tried to dodge the question. But the ‘professional fan‘ wanted to know the root of the massive weight miss that shuffled the entire card.
“I know you don’t care about that now but if you want to compete for the welterweight title, it’s important that they know you can make 170 lbs,” a fierce Rogan said.
