Emmeline Bale Was Caught off Guard by News of Her Father Singing with Taylor Swift

Proud dad Christian Bale loves talking about his daughter Emmeline Bale, just not in interviews. However, he revealed that his teenager was unenthusiastic about him singing with Taylor Swift.

Emmeline "Luka" Bale was born on March 27, 2005, to former model and stuntwoman Sibi Blazic and Hollywood actor Christian Bale. She has memorable cameos in two of her father's blockbusters and made her runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana in 2021.

Her doting actor dad does not refer to her in the press by name and thanked his kids by their nicknames, Banana and Burrito, in his 2019 acceptance speech for the Best Actor Golden Globe for "Vice."

Emmeline Bale's Father Sang with Taylor Swift

Christian entered the Marvel Universe at his children's request, but his next attempt to impress them had less success. Emmeline's dad only told her after the fact that he sang with Taylor Swift in the flick "Amsterdam." He told The Hollywood Reporter that she did not react the way he expected:

"I went to my daughter and said, 'You know who I sang with today? Taylor Swift.' And she was like, 'Wait, what? Why would you be doing that?'"

Was she apathetic about her father singing with Swift or of Swift slumming it with her dad? Who can tell? The choice to include Taylor happened spontaneously after Christian's co-star, John David Washington, suggested adding the pop star following their "flat" singing efforts.

Emmeline Luka Bale's Early Career in the Entertainment Industry

Having grown up on movie sets, Emmeline got the opportunity to be the Le Mans Flower Girl in her dad's racing blockbuster "Ford v Ferrari." She had a cameo as the vendor of New Asgard's ice-cream shop, Infinity Conez, in "Thor: Love and Thunder."

Her actor husband told the Wall Street Journal that his wife "terrifies" him after their stunts in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Page Six reported that she made her first outing as a model at Dolce & Gabbana's Alta Moda show in Venice, Italy, in 2021. Heidi Klum's daughter Leni Klum and Diddy's daughters, Chance, Jessie James, and D'Lila Star Combs, were also in the show.

Emmeline's Father Didn't Want to Miss Her Childhood

Emmeline and her mom were "wonderful distractions" on her father's film sets and served as inspiration for the Oscar-winning actor, per Parade. The star typically only films one movie a year as he wants to give his full attention to one thing at a time. He told GQ UK in 2008:

"I'm certainly not going to be one of those fathers who picks up a photo of his daughter and has regrets about not being around."

Growing up with a free-spirited pilot father, the actor wanted to give his daughter a similar experience by doing his own stunts. She saw her mother and father perform a thrilling chase scene in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Emmeline Bale Has a Fascinating Extended Family

Christian Bale and Blazic eloped in Las Vegas in a ceremony officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator, per IMDb, on January 29, 2000. Ten years after their first child, the couple welcomed their son Joseph on August 2014.

Chicago native Blazic has a bachelor's degree in business from the University of Southern California and was a makeup artist and Wynona Ryder's assistant. Her actor husband told the Wall Street Journal that his wife "terrifies" him after their stunts in "The Dark Knight Rises."

When playing an American character, the Welsh actor

for the duration of the press tour. He told PEOPLE that his wife is partial to some of his characters and went as far as saying that she missed some of them.

During his early childhood, the "Batman Begins" star lived across the globe with his circus performer mom Jennifer Bale (nee James) and pilot dad, David Bale, before their split. The elder Bale remarried Gloria Steinem shortly after his son's Vegas wedding in 2000.
