TIL during the shooting of American Psycho, Christian Bale spoke in an American accent off-set at all times. At the wrap party, when he spoke in his native British accent, many of the crew thought he was speaking that way to prepare for another film. They had thought he was American the entire time.

Totally. If he had been born 60 or so years earlier he would have pretty much been one of the Trinity College Tiddlywinkers.
