Actor Christian Bale is reportedly being asked by his wife Sibi Blazic to quit racing motorbikes for films as she is scared by the sudden demise of 'Fast and Furious' star Paul Walker.
The 'American Hustle' actor, who is a huge enthusiast of two-wheelers, had controlled his stunts after the birth of their daughter Emmaline, reported Contactmusic.
"Sibi has always had a problem with Christian's love of fast bikes. She stopped him from riding them on the streets shortly after the birth of (their daughter) Emmaline, eight years ago," a source said.
"Since then, Christian has limited his riding to the race track under very controlled conditions," the source added.
Walker's death in a fiery single-car accident earlier this year has hit Bale's wife.
"Sibi doesn't want Christian racing at all, and that's going to be a real struggle for him... As tough as it is for him, Christian is going to quit racing for her. She rules the household and his attitude is, she's the boss," the source added.
