When Batman paid for a random 21 yr old's birthday! The story is on reddit:
An unexpected celebrity paid for me and my birthday friend's meal!
Long post but great experience! Sorry if you find it boring and thanks to the jerk who had to comment below and be rude about it
Over the weekend I got to meet Batman at one of my favorite sushi places. I won't mention the name because he's a regular there. Anyway, I was in the restroom needing to vomit because I had too many sake bombs and I hear a guy with an English accent asking "had a lot to drink mate?" And I said "yeah... Been a long week." The man laughs and says, "I know what you mean, just one of those days." When I walk out I notice that it is the one and only Christian bale carrying his son and washing his hands. I tell him, "I'm such a fan of your work. Don't worry I won't ask for a photo because you're with your son." He gives me a big smile and says, "I don't mind taking photos with fans but when I'm with my family I like to keep them out of it. Thank you for understanding." He proceeds to shake my hand asking my name and asks me if I eat at the sushi place often. I tell him that I go once in a while since it's expensive. He tells me that it's his favorite place to go to since he loves Japanese food.
I tell him it's my best friend's bday and he says, "oh really? How old is your friend?" My friend Sarah just turned 21 and he said "oh the good ol 21." By this point I'm thinking its a dream so I put my hands in my pocket and pinch myself. It gets better from here... He asks me where we are seated at and I ask why? he said, "well since you're celebrating your friends 21st bday I would like meet your friend and pay your bill." I go "oh no no it's okay we got it." Bale smiles and says, "I insist mate. I understand the place is a little pricy but it's the least I can do." I couldn't believe wtf I was hearing but I obliged.
I got to meet his wife and his really nice daughter. Their names won't be mentioned because I respect his privacy. They weren't sitting very far from us. They're quite a healthy looking family and Bale despite his bushy beard and long hair smelled really good. He smelled like an expensive cologne. I noticed that he was limping a bit when he walked but his arms were quite strong looking. You could see that he's ripped lol. My friend Sarah looked so shocked but at the same time kept her composure. Bale and his wife asked us what we do and we mentioned our majors for school. Me doing engineering and my friend working on law. Bale says with a big smile, "bloody hell that's wonderful! Kudos to both of you!" His wife was gracious and was insanely friendly to us too. The only thing I'll mention about their day was that they had just watched Inside Out and they all gushed about the movie. I have yet to see it lol. There was more to the conversation but I feel like I hit the major parts. The conversation felt about either 20 or 30 minutes. To end the wonderful dinner my friend Sarah was speechless and gave me a huge hug. Christian paying our meal and getting to chat with him and his family is much more rewarding than an autograph and photo. This is probably one of the best experiences of my life and it was a great gift to Sarah.
Pheww still can't believe this happened! Thank you Christian for your generosity!
