"This is a guy who will do anything to make the character look real to his audience and to himself. Everyone's praying he doesn't start drinking blood like a real vampire," the source said, adding, "But no one would be surprised if he did take a swig of the stuff to make the scenes look real."
However, Bale is not a part of the Dracula reboot movie neither he is planning to "avoid sun" for any of his Vampire related movies, Gossip Cop reported.
