He's famous for taking on character's who live outside the normal realms of society.
But Christian Bale was the archetypal doting dad on Tuesday, as he spent some quality time with his young son Joseph in Los Angeles.
Obviously enjoying some downtime in-between projects, the 42-year-old Batman star cut a very casual figure as he doted on the 21-month-old tot.
Heading out for a stroll in Brentwood with his youngest child, the American Psycho star looked delighted to be enjoying some quality father/son time with Joseph.
And it was safe to assume the actor and his son were enjoying a boys' day out, as Christian's glamorous wife Sibi and their daughter Emmeline, 11, were absent from the outing.
But it seems that the Bale boys were enjoying their bonding time, and Christian couldn't help but crack a smile as he picked Joseph up - only for the toddler to start playing with his father's face.
Striding down the pavement with his small son in one arm, the muscular action star barely broke a sweat.
Cutting a very casual figure, the Oscar-winning actor wore a white tee-shirt and black Adidas track top hoodie.
He teamed the items with a pair of baggy black sport shorts, rounding his laid-back look off with a pair of red trainers.
The Hollywood hardman sported his familiar bushy beard, which he's been cultivating outside of work, alongside a shaggy and tousled hair do.
Joseph looked equally ready for a chilled day with his dad, and wore a pair of colourful short teamed with a tee-shirt and a gillet.
Christian appeared to be squeezing in some valuable time with his young son before filming begins on his next project, Hostiles.
The Western, which is helmed by Black Mass' Scott Cooper and also stars Rosamund Pike, is set in 1892 and sees an Army captain reluctantly agrees to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory.
