I\u2019ve documented previous acts of kindness<\/a> by \u201cDark Knight\u201d actor Christian Bale, so I wanted to post this one as well. It\u2019s a video of eight-year-old AML Leukemia patient and huge Batman fan, Zach Guillot<\/a>, talking with the actor on the phone.<\/p>\n

As is usual with these instances of Bale\u2019s kindness, he doesn\u2019t seek publicity himself. Zach\u2019s family posted the video online.<\/p>\n

Well done, Master Bruce. Well done.<\/p>\n
