"Everyone loses their shit on occasions, don’t they? Like, ‘Oh God, what demon possessed me to do that?' My wife gets to live with a variety of men. Some of them she likes, some of them she doesn’t. There are ones people like and others that they say, ‘Man we’re glad you’re finished with that project. You were an asshole’.”

Bale is so talented and his family(mum+sis)are just horrible.He had only lashed out verbally at his mum and sis as they wanted money from him and insulted his wife in the process.
He has worked really hard to get good movie roles and hope this incident does not reflect on him getting more roles or even being dropped from the next batman sequel.

His mom had no complaints about anything after all these years and years, and IMMEDIATELY after this movie becomes a super-hit, she's suddenly filing police complaints because he apparently yelled at her after she dogged out his wife? Sounds fishy to me — if she tries to sue for umpteen million dollars, we'll know what's really up.

unless further information surfaces … he lost his temper with some family members. let's see …. if i was working my ass off, flying all around the country to promote my huge film, and my circus freak mom and sister got in my grill … i might get a little testy too. in fact perez, i've seen interviews where you've gotten testy too … so effing drop it already! it's not a big deal! we all still love you christian!

Leave Christian alone. This quote is taken out of context. He was joking and being sarcastic. His mother and sister are already trying to ruin his reputation. Don't make it worse. Christian is a great actor and he deserves his success.

Well, the sun mentioned today that his sister started moaning at him cause she is bringing up three kids and can't afford to. She asked him for £100,000 which he quite rightly refused and the proceeded to insult his wife. Her brother has worked hard for his success - see machinst for full evidence- so why she should demand his money! I think this has been blown out of proportion and if it was one of us joe bloggs no one would have cared…If I got a sentence for everytime I argued with my brother…I would be doing life just now!

Team Bale all the way…he is not just hot…he is also a fab actor!

Everyone loses their shit on occasions, don’t they? Like, ‘Shit. Oh God. Ughhh. What demon possessed me to do that? Ugghhh.' My wife gets to live with a variety of shit. Some of them she likes, some of them she doesn’t. There are ones people like and others that they say, ‘Man we’re glad you’re finished with that shit. You were a real asshole’ Don't forget to flush.

OMG I fucking love him! Mom and sis should have checked out how popular their little boy is with the public B4 launching their scheme. He is loved and admired by straights, gays, blacks, whites, grandmas and republicans. don't mess with our man, BITCHES!

125

this whole spectacle is just sad. first i was stunned over the the initial reports of what he was accused of, especially since i am a huge fan. i have tried to be objective and the more i read about the actual event, the more i am convinced that the whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. i strongly believe that what occured between christian and his mother and sister was not as bad as it has been portrayed in the media.i just think it's sad that this whole thing had to be handled in the eye of the public and giving people a perhaps negative picture of christian.

i know that i suppport christian and i hope he breaks of contact with his mother and sister and focuses on his wife and child and his career. much love to you christian, your fans will stand by you!

Fanza says – reply to this

127

Okey, I'm a bit confussed.
Is he trying to say that he has a bunch of personalities and his wife is has o put up with it?

The guy is a good actor, I havwn't seen The Dark Knight yet but I've seen Batman Begins and he was great!
Kaye says – reply to this

128

They're like any other normal couple. Somedays you can't get enough of each other, other days you want to fuck each other up. There are times I want to bitch slap my husband and others where I can't get enough of him. NORMAL marriages are like that. This isn't fucking pleasantville.

I don't get why everyone is so baffled that this guy lost his shit and screamed at his mom and sister. Does no one else have family? The only thing I can't believe is that London has a law that involves the authorities in such weenie whiney shit.

Christian, you're a big star now, so this crap will never end. Do like Johnny Depp and buy yourself an island.

His "clown" mom and "circus freak" sister couldn't get any money out of him, so they thought they'd get back at him with mischief. The worst they could do was make a "scandal" and get him on Perez's site. OOoooooooooooo. He just looks hot posted up there anyway, so nah na na nah naaaaaah na.

Looks like a case of "he's rubber, you're glue"

Christian, my friend, pull your shit together here. You've got a smash hit movie on your hands, don't fuck things up with little meaningless dramas!!

Bale is not just talented - he is incredibly genuine. He loves his wife (who coincidently nobody knew until they married) and he defended her. This guy doesn't claim to be perfect, but I would much rather go have a beer with him than just about anyone else in show business. Gorgeous, talented, complicated - and a good human being who doesn't pretend to be one of those nicey nice celebrities. Give the guy a break.
Trish says – reply to this

138

Bale is a talented, complex, genuine human being who avoids being in the public eye and playing the 'look at me!' celebrity. He married a woman that no one heard of and continues to stick by her and defend her after 8 years. Conincidentally, he has a complicated background and family members that don't have his class - so much so that even after being invited to join him at the hotel he is staying at for HIS premiere, they make ridiculous accusations of him. There isn't one person out there who hasn't fought with a loved one and his mother wasn't exactly the loving type. This quote is taken out of context and I would still rather go for a beer with this actor than just about anyone else in the business - he is a class act. Give the guy a break.
Jenny says – reply to this

139

As a married woman, I understand what he is trying to say. When your husband is deeply involved in a project they think about nothing else and tune everything around them out. And at times can be an a–. No biggie, very normal. He is just being honest. Great guy for seeing it and admitting it.
Alber says – reply to this

140

That is the story of my life, I can be the nicest guy on the block or a totall monster to myself and the other, my wife also lives with a diversity of the same husband.
I think as well that Bale may have a drink problem, I think I have, on the other side I am not sure what would be of me with out having this scapades once in a while

moody says – reply to this

142

If he wasn't a celeb, what would u think about a guy who assaults his mom and sister in an argument. Maybe his stepmom, Gloria Steinem, has an opinion on violence against women. Bale's temper and assholiness is well known in the industry. now it's public. BFD.
REAL says – reply to this

143

Finally a real person…who knew they hung out in L.A. huh?!?! lol. I appreciate his honesty and is not trying to sugar coat the fact that he might have been an asshole. But perhaps he could use a little anger management or something!! Perhaps a shrink to assist in where these issues come from. I don't know!! But I still like him!
zeebz says – reply to this

144

I'd like to see the question he was responding to…

I'm almost positive he is talking about actors becoming so into their roles that they take on the personas even while they're not on the set…kind of what people were saying Heath Ledger went through while he was playing The Joker. Some of the best actors, those who really take it seriously and commit and give their all to it really do almost "become" the character they're portraying. Oh, and by the way, Christian Bale is SOOOOOO damn sexy!!!

Amanda Bynes Was Involved In ANOTHER Hit-And-Run!

Can someone take this girl's license away, please?

Amanda Bynes will finally be appearing court on June 6th for her April 6th DUI arrest, but apparently, she's may have to return very soon after that, because the actress was involved in ANOTHER hit-and-run only a few short days AFTER the first!
