Christian Bale’s Oscar Plug Crashes Boxer’s Website

Christian Bale did a great thing at the Oscars — TOO great, actually!
After giving Dicky Eklund, the man who he portrayed in the film The Fighter, a shout out during his acceptance speech, the old boxing trainer’s website crashed due to too much traffic. It reportedly jumped from 500 hits to 10,000!
Said Bale during his speech:
“He’s had a wonderful story, and I can’t wait to see the next chapter of his story. If you want to be a champ if you want to train with him, go meet him… DickEklund.com.”
So awesome!
