Michael Fassbender has revealed he called Christian Bale before he signed on to play Steve Jobs.
Originally the British actor was slated to star in the biopic but turned down the offer to portray the late Apple co-founder in Danny Boyle’s movie.
”I thought Christian Bale would have been fantastic for the part, so much so that I called him up and had a conversation with him – that’s just the nature of it,” he said.

“There are plenty of people who can do what I do and there are a lot of actors who would be suitable for the part.”
During the Sony hack, it was revealed in emails that the Kerryman wasn’t the actor wanted by the production team to play Steve Jobs but he says the information that came out doesn’t bother him.
”I tell myself the others were never even in the picture,” he told the Irish Daily Mail.
“I’m used to the fact that a director or a producer or a team of people would want someone before me and I don’t think that’s unusual at all.”
