Christian Bale looks casual in a grey hoodie as he stocks up on hardware ahead of Thanksgiving

He recently returned to the US after filming began on Thor: Love And Thunder.

And Christian Bale cut a casual figure on Wednesday as he stocked up on fire logs ahead of Thanksgiving at Ace Hardware in Los Angeles.

The Hollywood actor, 46, dressed down in a grey hoodie and a black cap as he pushed his trolley around the store during his low-key outing. 

Christian teamed his hoodie with a navy T-shirt and black 3/4 length shorts, finishing his relaxed look with black and white slip-on shoes.

The Batman Begins star also followed precautions amid the pandemic by covering up in a black face mask. 

Christian appeared in a relaxed mood as they casually strolled around before continuing his day. 

In October, Christian was seen arriving in Sydney via private jet to start filming Thor: Love And Thunder, where he was set to play a villain opposite Chris Hemsworth.

He was expected to stay at a hotel arranged by the government before he is able to join co-star Natalie Portman and director Taika Waititi, who were already in Sydney.  

The movie is scheduled for a February 11, 2022 release, but due to COVID-19 nothing is set in stone. 

Tessa Thompson, who plays Valkyrie in the film, recently revealed the actor had been cast as a malevolent as-yet-unnamed character.

Speaking to ET, she explained: ‘Christian Bale is going to play our villain, which is going to be fantastic.

‘I’ve read the script. I can’t tell you much. Lots of exciting text messages exchanged between Natalie [Portman] and I.’

Gushing about working with Thor: Ragnarok director Taika, she said they were ‘going to have fun’.

‘Taika is writing [and] directing. Some familiar faces. Some new people coming into the mix.’
