Q: In "Empire of the Sun," Christian Bale's character sings "Suo Gân." Was it really him singing, or if not, who was dubbing his voice?
Though he was trained for the stage as well as the screen, even at the young age of 13 when he starred in 1987's "Empire of the Sun," he only lip-synched the choir solo.
A look at the official soundtrack album shows that "Suo Gân," the film's theme, was performed by The Ambrosian Junior Choir, with the solo performed by James Rainbird.
Rainbird, who is a year younger than Bale, has a pretty accomplished film career as a behind-the-scenes singer.
