Christian Bale, that you, boy? The 39-year-old actor underwent a shocking transformation on set the new David O. Russell ("Silver Linings Playbook") film Thursday in Massachusetts, sporting ill-fitting clothes, tinted shades and a painfully scraggly combover. The film, slated for release at the end of the year, also co-stars "Silver Linings" leads Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.

Bale's onscreen versatility is well-documented: He famously shed 63 pounds for 2004's "The Machinist," only to majorly beef up again as Batman in Christian Nolan's blockbuster "Dark Knight" trilogy.
