When asked if he is a fond of Indian food, Christian recalled a childhood memory. He said, "I’m English so you grow up eating Indian food, so yes, absolutely. I would get home from school and grab a samosa from the corner store and eat it. That was always my choice of food,"

Christian became monumentally famous in India with his portrayal of the caped superhero in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. In the interview, the actor revealed that the studio offered them to make more movies but the director turned down the offer.  I’m proud of what we did and left it when we did because many franchises keep going because they can. We were offered to but Chris always said the most we will do is three, if we are fortunate enough to and then we walk away. I’m absolutely fine with that, it’s the most iconic role I’ve played." he said.
