Christian Bale Flies Young Cancer Patient and Family to Disneyland

Wow, my respect for Christian Bale is through the roof. First the victims of the Colorado shooting incident and now this. Real life superhero indeed.

Christian Bale Flies Young Cancer Patient to Disneyland (Photos)

The star of the just-completed Batman trilogy met with four-year old Jayden Barber, who is battling leukemia.

He proves yet again to be a real life superhero.Christian Bale recently fulfilled the wish of five-year-old, Jayden Barber, who was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and wanted to meetBatman. Bale stepped up to the plate just as Bruce Wayne would have.

Forget his efforts to defeat Bane;Christian Baleis proving more heroicoff-screen this summer.

TheDark Knight Risesstar has quietly completed his second act of major kindness in the past two months, as he flew four-year old leukemia patient Jayden Barberand his entire family out to Los Angeles for an intimate lunch at Disneyland's Club 33 earlier this week.

Barber has been fighting cancer for over two years, as chemotherapy for bone cancer in 2010 then turned into MDS leukemia last year,according to WYTV in Ohio. Thought to be terminal after a bone marrow transplant did not work earlier this year, Barber is now in remission.

His mother,Charlene Barber, posted photos of the meeting on Facebook, in the groupLighting the Batsignal for Jayden, and wrote a glowing post about the experience.

"The entire interaction was like old friends having lunch. Jayden did not get star struck but was well aware of who we were with!" she gushed. "They talked movies and super Heros an he was genuinely happy to hear about everything Jayden wanted to tell him. Christian, his wife and daughter are three of the most beautiful people we have ever met! Christian made these arrangements for us personally and ensured we were treated like royalty. I don't have even one negative thing to say about them. I can tell you that they were just as impressed w Jayden as Jayden was w them :)"

Barber was given a celebration featuring his favorite superheroes in the local football stadium in Youngstown, Ohio.

Earlier this summer, Bale met with the victims of the mass shooting at a midnight screening ofThe Dark Knight Risesin Aurora, Colorado.

Awesome :)

That story is both sad and joyus.

My respect for Bale & OT posts has gone up.

Bale's a nice guy. In December he went to China and tried to visit Chen Guangcheng in prison (or was it house arrest)?

Wonderful human on and off the camera.

What a nice thing for him to do.

You have all my respects Bale.

Christian Bale earns some more respect. Nice to know that he is both a good actor and person.

A true hero

Big news around here WYTV is one of my three local news stations.

I don't really follow him very closely.... wasn't he widely regarded as an ass and a psycho? Something about freaking out on people? This is nice either way.XilePrincess

He freaked out at a guy on set of the Terminator movie. Other than that I don't think he has had too much bad publicity.

He freaked out during the shooting of a scene for 'Terminator: Salvations', which was pretty over-blown by the "media", since on set and in character all actors can get pretty emotional. But other than that he seems like a really cool guy. There is the article here which is awesome, and he visited the Aurora shooting victims as well.

that guy is just awesome

And this is why he is my man-crush. megagene

It gives his Batman movies somewhat of an autobiographical flavour.

That is awesome. :)

Christian Bale is a bad, bad man. He's just covering up his heinous crime:

:P Kidding, kidding, he's an awesome guy and it's something Bruce Wayne would definitely do. [/spoiler]

he had a blazing row with his mom and sister a few years ago and he wont talk about it but they quite happily will, they seem to be the rags giving him a bit of stick everytime he has a film out

Great guy. Didn't see any of the Avengers do this. :PHexagon_777

Christian Bale seems like a genuine great person. Good for him.

Never used to like Christian Bale, now my view of him has changed alot in the last couple of years.

I seem to be posting a lot of gifs today...

The only thing that would make this better is if they flew the family out on the bat-copter from TDK:R.

Very nice of Bale to do, none the less.

This is a very nice story, and I wish more people did this.

But I just can't read about cancer anymore.
