And now for the funniest moment of the Golden Globes, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes thought actor Christian Bale named his kids Banana and Burrito:
Wait…..are Christian Bale's children named…Banana and Burrito?

It only took him 3 minutes to discover that those were nicknames:
Looks like they're nicknames: "The couple have two children: a daughter, Emmaline (born 2005), and a son, Joseph (born 2014).[111][112]"

Bale had referred to Banana and Burrito during his speech, which caused the confusion:
Ok, so I did hear that lol. https://t.co/rLN1FoNcZV

And Hayes wasn’t the only one to get fooled by it:
here's the thing: Christian Bale is so weird, I didn't even flinch when he said his kids were named Banana and Burrito. #GoldenGIobes

Are Christian Bale's children named Burrito and Banana? If so, are they twins? #GoldenGlobes
