"I wish him all the best. He's a very experienced actor and filmmaker. He'll make it his own. It should be passed on to another actor and will be again after him," Bale tells Accesshollywood.com. "(I told him) just make sure you can take a p**s without anyone helping him because it's a little bit humiliating. I went through having to have someone help you out of the costume in order to be able to do that. That was my main piece of advice for him, " he jokingly adds.
