Russell who the overweight guy was. “After he met everybody he said, ‘Who’s that guy?’ I said, ‘You just shook his hand, that’s Christian Bale.’ He said, ‘No, that guy.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s Christian Bale,” _Huffingtonpost.co_m quoted Russel as saying. The crime drama also featured Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. IANS
