Christian Bale opens up about his daughter Luka’s modeling career in rare comment

Christian Bale couldn’t help but gush over his “incredibly talented” daughter, Emmeline “Luka.”

Speaking to E! News, at the Los Angeles premiere of his upcoming film, “Madden,” the actor made a rare comment about his wife Sandra “Sibi” Blažić’s burgeoning modeling career.

“She’s incredibly talented as a photographer, herself as a model, and I see her directing me one day,” Bale, who is also a father to son Joseph, told the outlet on Wednesday.

“She has an incredible mind, an incredible creative brain, incredible visions, etc. I am so proud of her,” he added.

The “Batman Begins” actor, 52, also made it clear that he would be “totally” on board with Luka, 21, directing him one day.

“I would probably behave better with her than anyone else,” he joked. “I’m terrified.”

As for his daughter’s life in the public eye, Bales admitted he hasn’t given her any advice because he still has “no idea” himself.

“I still have no idea how to do this. I still make mistakes all the time. She’s got a great head on her shoulders,” he said.

Despite Bale’s critically acclaimed career and breadth of work, he admitted that Luka and 12-year-old Joseph are not easily impressed.

“They’re used to me. They just think I’m crazy, but that’s normal. That’s how it is,” he said.

Bale stars alongside Nicolas Cage in “Madden,” with Cage playing NFL legend John Madden and Bale taking on the role of former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis.

The film will be released in select theaters and will be available to stream on Prime Video on November 18.

Elsewhere in her interview with E! News, Bale said filming the film was “fantastic,” adding that he “really enjoyed Nic’s acting and his choices and his life.”

“He’s someone who leads an interesting life, and Al did that, and John did that. They’re great characters,” he told the outlet. “Seeing Nic’s absolute love for John and dedication to him was wonderful, and in the same way, I had that love and dedication to Al Davis, who was such an iconic character.”

Bale has been married to Blažić since January 2000. The couple recently made a rare public appearance alongside Luka and Joseph in July 2025, attending Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda haute couture show.
