The actress, 23, gets to pucker up to Bale in American Hustle but the normally trim actor had to put on weight for the role of con artist Irving Rosenfeld.
Director David O Russell told Us magazine that Lawrence, who plays Rosenfeld’s wife Rosalyn,
wasn’t impressed with the actress telling him: ‘I finally get to make out with Christian Bale and he’s a really fat guy.’
She reportedly added: ‘He’s Fatman, not Batman.’
But O Russell was full of admiration for Bale, who he claimed was still a hit with the ladies.
He said: ‘The shocking thing is that Christian can charm ladies even with the comb over and the belly because it comes from confidence and heart.
‘I want them to disappear – and that excites them because they want to freak audiences out. And that’s what entertainment is right?’
Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Bradley Cooper also star in Oscar-tipped American Hustle.
