I think I’ve written about this before, but now that Christian Bale is in Mowgli, I thought I’d tell it again.
A few years ago, I found out that a guy I went to school with wrote a book about Christian Bale. His name is Harrison, and we were in high school and even university together, although we never had classes together in university. Harrison was apparently CB’s assistant, hired by his father. Something went wrong at some point and Harrison either quit or was fired, and later wrote a tell-all book about CB.
I wouldn’t say we were friends, but we were part of the same circle of friends that hung out together. Because of that, I’m pretty sure you can’t believe too much of what he says. In high school, my friend Diane asked him to take our friend Ann to the prom. She didn’t have a date, and neither did Harrison, and they had known each other from elementary school, so it seemed like a good idea. He only agreed to do it if Diane paid for the whole thing - the tickets, Ann’s corsage and a fancy dinner. To this day, Ann thinks that Harrison asked her out on his own and paid for everything himself. She still brings it up once in a while, saying that it was such a magical evening.
We were once asked to write a short story for English class, to be entered in a writing contest. Harrison won. I read his story, and it was terrible, but it was about a girl who entered a writing competition but lost when the judges found out she was Chinese. She was upset, ran out into traffic and was killed. Even worse, it was written in the first person “Tears streamed down my face as I ran onto the streets and I saw the headlights coming towards me”. So of course the teachers chose his terrible story to win!
In university, he wrote a column for the school paper and famously predicted that Wham wouldn’t have much of a career because fans only liked them for their looks, not their music. Ha!
My favourite thing about Harrison, though, is that everytime I see his date of birth, he has made himself younger and younger. Currently, he’s supposedly 5 years younger than I am. That means he would have been 9 years old when we started high school. Ha!
