Actor Christian Bale was a frequent target for school bullies - because of his Hollywood success as a kid,


WENN is reporting July 19th.

After a string of commercials, Bale starred in the 1987 movie Empire of the Sun when he was just 13, and became an overnight sensation.

But, instead of attracting a legion of friends because of his fame, he inadvertently turned his classmates against him.

He says,

'It was not a great time.

I was a victim of bullying and had other kids kicking and punching me every day.

'It was an early lesson in how making a film can set you apart.

If you don't want to live with the consequences then don't make the film.

'But that didn't help at the time.

I was confused about other people's reactions to me, both good and bad.

It can mess anyone up.' _________________

Wow, well that's how people are when they are a kid. When you grow older, people will learn to change. That's what Bale did.
