Christian Bale Gives Golden Globes Shout-Out to His Kids, Banana and Burrito, and We Have So Many Questions

Congrats are in order for Christian Bale who received the Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) award for his role of Dick Cheney in Vice. Kudos for his remarkable performance but his acceptance speech has left many viewers confused. 

The actor started by thanking his wife Sibi Blazic and then also thanking his "beautiful children, Burrito and Banana."

Considering that celebrities have been known to choose unusual names for their offspring (looking at you, Gwyneth), we wouldn't be totally surprised if these were their actual names. 

But as it turns out, Banana and Burrito are just sweet nicknames for his son and daughter. Their actual names are Emmeline and Joseph—phew.
