Christian Bale has made yet another body transformation.

Aftergaining weight to play former Vice President Dick Cheneyin the upcoming film Backseat, Bale has lost it all again.

The actor, 44, was seen in Los Angeles, filming for his next movie,Ford v. Ferrari. Bale plays a driver working to build a Ford that can beat the Ferraris at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans auto race in France.

Bale is well-known for his incredible and dramatic weight changes for each of his film roles, and to play Cheney, he shaved his head and started heading for the dessert table.

“I’ve just eaten a lot of pies, so far,” he said in November.

But Bale said that it’s getting tougher to alter his body as he ages.

“I thought I was going to lose the weight I gained forAmerican Hustle. I said, two months, flat, that’ll do it. I was 185 and I went up to 228 for it. And I’m still working that off! It’s almost six months later,”Bale toldUSA Todayin 2013. “Now, I know that when I was in my early twenties it would have been two months and that’s it.”
