Fact about "American Psycho": Christian Bale copied the image from Tom Cruise (6 photos)

The film "American Psycho", released in the 2000s, has become relevant again in the 2020s. Many memes, phrases and just frames from the film have become commonplace on social networks. Christian Bale himself says that the film would not have existed without... Tom Cruise.

When creating the image of Patrick Bateman, he tried to push off from something and looked at Tom Cruise on the David Letterman show.

Bale was then struck by "active friendliness, but with emptiness in the eyes." He took this as the basis for Bateman.
