Christian Bale has revealed that after working with Johnny Depp, he still knows very little about the actor.

The 35-year-old actor has revealed that he hardly spent any time with his Public Enemies co-star except for one scene, but he has insisted that Depp is a “unique” and “interesting” individual.

Bale told Collider: “I canÂ’t comment on finding something new about him because I know very little about him in the first place which I think is always a benefit with any actor. I agree very much, heÂ’s very unique. He does his own thing. He makes very interesting choices and makes a real variety of movies. I find that interesting.”

Despite not sharing many scenes together, Bale has admitted that he preferred the lack of on-screen time with Depp.

He said: “I think naturally he found Dillinger to be a fascinating character and I think he did a superb job with it. But the nature of the way that we worked together was very similar to the way of the story.

“Purvis only that one time caught up with him. Pretty much I only caught up with Johnny that one time. If I was working he wasnÂ’t. But I quite like that, I have to admit. I quite like it when youÂ’re working with people and you only get to know them through the scenes that youÂ’re doing together.”
