PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — Christian Bale broke ground Wednesday on a project he’s been pursuing for 16 years -- the building of a dozen homes and a community center in Los Angeles County intended to keep siblings in foster care together.
That was around 2008, the time of “The Dark Knight,” when his now college-age daughter was 3 years old.
The 12 homes, anchored by the community center, are set to be finished in April of 2025.
“It’s something that is incredibly satisfying for me, and I want to be involved every step of the way,” Bale said.
“Maybe this is the first one, and maybe this is the only one, and that would be great.
