Christian Bale has already taken home two awards for his role as Dick Cheney: during his somewhat provocative acceptance speech at the Golden Globes for Best Performance in a Comedy, the British actor thanked none other than Satan for giving him the “inspiration” to play the former vice president.
He won a second prize a week later, picking up the Critics’ Choice Awards for best actor and best actor in a comedy film.
“I guess time sort of allows it to be considered a comedy, but it’s really a tragedy”, Bale said.
Cheney served as the 46th vice president of the United States from 2001 to 2009, and played a crucial role in shaping the country’s “War on Terror” doctrine following the 9/11 attacks. Cheney also made multiple public statements claiming that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and alleged links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda to justify the US-led invasion of the Mideast country in 2003.
