Christian Bale enjoys a rainy day at the beach in Sydney

Christian Bale made the most of a day off from filming the new Thor movie in Sydney on Wednesday.

Despite the rainy weather, the 47-year-old actor headed over to a local beach with his six-year-old son, Joseph.

The Dark Knight star was dressed casually in a pair of navy blue cargo shorts, which he paired with a white T-shirt.

Christian kept warm with a black sports jacket, as he walked barefoot along the wet sand.

At one stage, he draped what appeared to have been his son’s hooded blue jacket over one of his shoulders.

Proving that the rain wasn’t a deterrent, Christian took his time walking along the beach, even stopping to take photos on his phone.

As they stood on some rocks, Joseph appeared to have shown his dad something, pointing towards the water.

Christian put on an animated display as he played with his young son, running along the rocks and holding his arms victoriously in the air. 

The American Psycho star arrived in Australia in October last year, with filming on Thor having commenced in January.
