"I think he thought I was Bruce Wayne because I was dressed as Bruce Wayne. So he talked to me like I was Bruce Wayne and I just went along with it, really. It was quite entertaining," he added.
Back then, Bale said, he had no inkling that Trump would go on to become the President of the United States.
