One would expect an actor like Christian Bale to drive a luxury supercar, as it won’t be that much of a downgrade from the Batmobile — in reality, the actor drives a humble car from 2003.
Despite playing roles like historic racing driver Ken Miles, the actor doesn’t seem to have expensive or exotic tastes in cars.
Although he owns an all-black Porsche Cayenne, his main daily driver is a used 2003 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.

Christian Bale and his Toyota Tacoma
The Dark Knight actor has been spotted with the truck multiple times over the years.
He bought the vehicle second-hand in 2003 and has had it since then.
Although Christian Bale might not have the greatest car collection in Hollywood, he knows how to pick a car for his needs.
“It’s practical and all my friends need it for moving stuff!
“Once you have a pickup truck, you don’t go back to anything else, and also I don’t give a crap if it gets scratched, no one wants to steal it, and no one thinks there’s anything of value in it.
“I bought it second-hand and I’ve had it for 13 years!” said the actor.
The pickup truck also serves as a great camouflage for the British actor.
No one would expect a world-famous actor to drive such a regular old Toyota Tacoma.
The photos of the pickup truck indicate it is a post-facelift first-generation model produced between 2001 and 2003.
The pickup truck is a PreRunner that features a 3.4-liter V6 engine with a rear-wheel-drive, not a 4×4.
However, Bale is not the only celebrity who owns a regular old car.
Other actors with regular cars
Even WWE wrestling legend and actor John Cena has a Honda Civic as his daily driver.
Despite being a billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg owns an Acura TSX, a Honda Fit, and a Volkswagen Golf GTI.
All of which are affordable family cars.
