Christian Bale said he had a hard time on the set of Amsterdam with co-star Chris Rock , but it wasnt because they didnt get along.
Just the opposite: Rock made Bale laugh so much he couldnt stay in character while working on the David O. Russell film.
Chris is so bloody funny and I found that I couldnt act, because I was just becoming Christian laughing at Chris Rock, he told IndieWire .
He added: So I had to go to him, I went mate, I love talking to you, and we have mutual friends, but I cant do it anymore. Because David didnt ask me to make this film so he could just watch me giggle. He wants me to be Burt, and Im forgetting how to be Burt.
