Dave Morales goes backstage with actor Christian Bale for Western film, Hostiles. The actor discusses the emotional role he plays and how racial divide is just as alive today.

Bale also shares with us a childhood story of how he used to ride a horse to the local restaurant, order a beer at 11 years old, and then ride back home passed out on horseback.

The film’s synopsis:

In 1892, legendary Army Capt. Joseph Blocker reluctantly agrees to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief and his family back to their tribal land. Embarking on a harrowing and perilous journey from Fort Berringer, N.M., to the grasslands of Montana, they soon encounter a young widow whose family was killed on the plains. The travelers must now band together to survive a punishing landscape that’s crawling with hostile Comanches and vicious outliers.

Hostiles hits theaters December 22nd. For more from Bale, check out the full interview below!
