- Christian Bale says he always wanted to be a stormtrooper in Star Wars.
- The actor said he could play the Stormtrooper who hit his head on a door in A New Hope.
- Bale knows Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy well from Empire of the Sun.
In the Star Wars universe, Christian Bale desired to be a stormtrooper, the actor admitted in a recent interview.
The Academy Award-winning actor hinted to a magazine that he might be persuaded to enter the Star Wars universe if only so that he could play the infamous but unnamed Stormtrooper who struck his head against the doorframe in the background of A New Hope.
The Batman star said, “All I ever wanted in Star Wars was to be in a Star Wars outfit and hit my head on a door or something as I walked through.
“The real nerds who watched Star Wars way too many times always knew about that one scene where the Stormtrooper hits his head on the door as he comes through. I wanted to be that guy. That was it,” the actor added.
“But look, if I’m fortunate enough to be more than that, oh man, yeah. What a delight that would be. I’ve still got the figures from when I was little. I know Kathy Kennedy very well because she was working with Spielberg when I did Empire of the Sun, and now, she runs the Star Wars universe.”
