Off-screen superhero Christian Bale flies cancer patient to Disneyland

9/10/2012

Christian Bale doesn't need a cape and Batmobile to prove he's a hero to Jayden Barber. The actor flew the 4-year-old Batman fan, who has leukemia, and his family to Disneyland last week and joined them for lunch at Disneyland's Club 33. According to Barber's mom, Charlene, her son and Bale, who was accompanied by his own family, chatted about all things movies and superheroes. "Christian made these arrangements for us personally and ensured we were treated like royalty," she says. A Facebook page for Jayden, who's currently in remission, has been set up titled "Lighting the Batsignal for Jayden!," where pictures of the Disneyland trip have been posted. [Source]
