He certainly does. It is my understanding that he uses an herb-mint facial mask, as well as a honey-almond body scrub. [/quote]
That’s absolutely right, Marcus… now let’s hear what Paul Allen does.

Let’s not forget the moisturizing after shave lotion that contains no alcohol. Because alcohol dries out your skin and makes you look OLDER.

Not saying no drugs are involved, but I’ll give you a different take: bodyweight set point combined with the kind of motivation only several million dollars can provide.
My guess is that Bale is naturally pretty much a mesomorph. If he goes on a crash diet to get down to 130 lbs, his body will fight to quickly get back to where it started as soon as he starts eating and training again. So, regaining 75-80 lbs, with a substantial amount (certainly not all of it) as muscle is not that hard to believe over the span of a year or so. Plus, he would have some muscle memory going on there, too. If Bale was lifting a lot, then stopped and then started again, it would be much easier gaining back the muscle he lost than it was gaining it the first time around.
The other part of this is motivation. Seriously, if someone offered you $5-10 million dollars to go from looking like The Machinist to Batman or vice-versa, in say 6-9 months’ time, don’t you think you could do it, even without drugs?

Gaining back the weight he once had after a period of extreme depletion isn’t very shocking at all. I could see that happening without drugs.
Now surviving a 70-80lb cut on almost no food/sleep? I’ve gotta think the guy had to be fucked up on something just to make it through that pyschologically, even without lifting.

I guess nobody read my post on the first page. It must be the avatar. Maybe this’ll have more impact (from a Q&A with Bale on his prep for The Machinist) :

Q: How did you feel?
CB: Oh, I felt just awful - I love my sleep. [laughs] Just few nights, but you get a sense of it. But it actually became a different thing after losing the weight. Because I found that even though I was in a state of almost being on the verge of sleep, right throughout the day, that actually falling asleep, was very difficult. I just couldn’t really do it. I was just couldn’t do it. I would lay there for hours with my eyes closed or staring at the cieling and that was, kind of, how I rested. But many nights I would sleep no more than 2 hours whilst we were shooting. I’d sit there in bed but I just couldn’t sleep, so I’d just stare at the wall or reading a book or something. I didn’t need a whole lot to keep me entertained at the time. I could just basically sit for hours basically doing nothing. [laughter] And that was often what I did during the night time but it wasn’t – except for some scenes which I really detested having to do, where I had to run in the movie. You know, it was okay that I looked exhausted the next day or whatever. I kind of hit a constant level of energy, or rather lack of energy, so that it really wasn’t any “ups or downs” it was just a constant level of "I’m here. I’ll do it in my own time, thank you very much and when I’m there I’ll be there and that’s it. So it wasn’t like I was really doing tremendously tiring endeavors during the day to make me need to collapse at the end of the day. [/quote]

190 lbs isnt even that big.
For me to weigh 190 lbs I would have to only eat apples for 2 weeks.
