Bale's Verbal Barrage! Christian Will Eff A Bitch Up

wenn-christian-bale.jpg

Christian Bale needs to sit his diva ass down!

Back in July we told you about his freak out on the set of Terminator Salvation when he got mad at the director of photography for adjusting a light during his scene.

The sneaky sound guys kept rolling throughout the entire incident, catching every threatening word on tape.

And it's pretty crazy! He threatens to quit that bitch if the director doesn't fire the offending crew member!

We're surprised the director didn't step in to wrangle his actor! He wasn't acting very professionally! And it was the DP, not just some grip!

Listen below to Bale's verbal barrage - and prepare for some pretty unpleasant language!

      k as much that was waaay out of control, he does have a point. I mean he could have handled it a little better, haha, but christian bale was right in the end (its only common courtesy).



    2. 402

      ps: that cockroach thing is fucked!



    3. 403

      You know, he seemed like more & more of a vagina in every movie he did, this just proves it. He sounds highly intelligent, when the only adjective he uses is "fuck". What a douche.

      That abusive behavior is disgusting and completely unacceptable. No one should be justifying this. It's fine that he might have been angry or frustrated, but it is possible to express anger or frustration without abusing and humiliating someone less powerful. That tirade is the rant of an abuser, and he should get help to fix whatever is wrong with his impulse control before he ruins his career through unprofessional outbursts or does major physical damage to someone around him.



    6. 406

      I don't think he overstep his bounds at all. Everyone gets angry and should express it. The dude he was yelling at was a douche.



    7. 407

      What an asshole. Thumbs down to Christian Bale.



    8. 408

      When did Bale become british???
      thats not american psycho



    9. 409

      To all you defending him or his craft…..

      THIS IS A TERMINATOR MOVIE!!!!! HOW MUCH CONCENTRATION DOES IT TAKE TO SHOOT A GUN AND RUN FROM OR AFTER THE BAD GUYS??????

      A FUCKING MONKEY COULD DO IT!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK…HIS CRAFT!!!!! COME ON YOU IDIOTS. THIS GUY IS AN ASSHOLE. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.



    10. 410

      still love him



    11. 411

      From what it sounds like the guy Christian is yelling at has done this more than once.

      ALTHOUGH!

      He should have talked to the director or just told the guy not to do it again, instead of embarrassing him and blowing his top.

      Good intentions, Horrible execution.



    12. 412

      I love it! He's so hot he could flip out all day I wouldn't care!

      That temper needs to be sorted out before he hurts someone. Russell Crowe threw a phone but this is probably only marginally worse. And it sounded on that clip that Christian was going for 'Bruce'.
      That accent. What is it? American, English, Irish, Welsh, Australian. He seriously lost it alright and lost himself in the process.



    14. 414

      Re: elradone – Probably when he was born… in England. He played an American in American Psycho and thus he did an American accents. Funny how that works…



    15. 415

      I totally understand why he was so pissed off, but he could have chilled out a little. Threats are not cool for something so trivial, and I mean he is doing an fucking TERMINATOR movie for god sakes! It is not going to be a good movie… Not even sure why he is doing this movie to begin with he has real talent.



    16. 416

      what a douche.
      He deserves the backlash he'll get.



    17. 417

      While I can understand being pissed at someone for wandering onto the set during a scene, which can be VERY distracting- and these are films that cost well over 100 MILLION a piece, beyond the initial 'stay off the f#ckin' set'…. he went from understandably annoyed to just being an overbearing tough-guy wannabe prick (Bale, you're about as intimidating as a house plant, sorry). Stop acting like a woman and profess your annoyance with the situation with tact and intelligence.



    18. 418

      should also point out that…this guy's getting paid more for one SCENE than most of us make in 40 years. More for this movie than we'll make in our lives. He's also supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL, given that, and approach a situation like one. God. He's lucky Arnold isn't starring in the movie with him- I'd pay to see him backhand Bale into a wall- that's shut his punk ass up if nothing else would. I just know that for 20+ million, do whatever you want with the lights, I don't give a sh#t long as the th ing gets made. What a whiny bitch.



    19. 419

      hes crazy

      Good grief he's a psycho!



    22. 422

      What a fucking wanker!! Don't know what he's been snorting, but it's really blown his sense of importance out of the water. Get a grip arse-wipe, you're only a fucking actor, and easily replaced!



    23. 423

      i'm in love.



    24. 424

      HAHAHAHHA
      He uses the word fucking/fuck in every other sentence…



    25. 425

      He's and idiot…
      Never liked that dude…



    26. 426

      Honestly it turned me on, bet he'd fuck my furry ass like a champ!



    27. 427

      What the hell is up his ass???? there's no excuse for this kind of behavior! NO MORE CHRISTIAN! NO MORE CHRISTIAN! NO MORE CHRISTIAN!



    28. 428

      WOW. I loved this guy too. He was in my top 2 (along with Beckham), but with a temper like that–NOT ANYMORE! With ugly behaviour like that, it totally tarnishes my view of him. He really needs some therapy.



    29. 429

      He needs to shut the fuck up befoe he gets fucked up by someone =]

      can't wait until he does!!!



    30. 430

      HOLY FUCK!!! That dude is CRAZY!!! What the hell is with all the accents? He has serious issues, and is an arrogent prick. I was hesitate to believe all the stuff about his mom and sister, but I definitely do now, and I feel so bad for them and anyone who has to be around that dick. Seriously you are just an actor…. you can't treat people like shit because of that! Fucking idiot



    31. 431

      Radio show this a.m. partially speculated he was "method acting" getting into/keeping in character??? And as long as the rant went, I'd have to agree–nobody can get that irrationally enraged for a sustained amount of time–it sounded like that's what it may have been. DOESN'T HE LOOK LIKE A LOVE CHILD OF JAMES BROLIN?????



    32. 432

      wow wat a fuckin ugly bitch



    33. 433

      Actors have to do scenes over and over again. I can see where he would get mad about something like that, but it did sound a little diva-ish. The director should have been the one to deal with it. How is this just now leaking on the internet? This happened in July. It sounds to perfect, too. I think this is the studios way of increasing the anticipation of the film.



    34. 434

      wow if that doesnt make you lose respect for the guy… I dont know what would.

      that was pathetic.



    35. 435

      I don't care, I'm still a fan!!!! It's soo cute, I could hear his accent!



    36. 436

      Go Christian! You show that obvious douchebag! I mean, come on, who walks in front of the camera WHILE IT IS FILMING? Eff that dude up, man, and then make them produce another Batman movie really quick like, since they pwn.



    37. 437

      What a prick. Fuck him!



    38. 438

      oh god



    39. 439

      no wonder his family called the cops on him. JEEEEEZ



    40. 440

      how dare people talk like that to people who try to make his movie good !
      he made one good movie and so he thinks he's the center of the world

      I think the director of photography is better in his work than he is a good actor.



    41. 441

      I've read worse cussing in some of these comments than in Christian Bale's rant. That said, it would have been nice to actually hear the other guy's response.



    42. 442

      my good never heard someone get so fu*ked up fu'k fuäck hahhahha no life



    43. 443

      At least he stayed in character during the fiasco. They were making Terminator 4 after all. This man is money. I can't wait to see the movie now. He's money I tell you, MONEY! It would be different if he'd actually battered the crappy DP, but it was a verbal altercation that is making for great entertainment.



    44. 444

      Re: lolaxbunny

      he was born in wales actually, not england.



    45. 445

      Was he nude during this?

      446

      I get that he is an "actor" and shouldn't be disrupted, but come on, to go on folr that long. Bring it to his attention and move on. He is an asshole for that!!!!!!



    47. 447

      idiot nutcase.



    48. 448

      it amazes me that a man that plays a super hero can be so weak. Yes, the light guy was wrong, however, I am sure it was unintentional, however, Bales reaction shows signs of a small man, trying to prove his manhood by belittling the other guy. No One deserves to be spoken to them that way. Bale…get over yourself…you are just a grunt…this is reminiscent of David Carusso. I respected you until now…as there are more respectful way of handling this situation. The truly great actors would never stoop to such a low level.



    49. 449

      Re: lolaxbunny – he was born in wales…….



    50. 450

      Dude…you are ONLY an actor and it is ONLY a MOVIE ( and judging from your record, not a very good one) so take a chillout pill and RE-FUCKIN-LAX! Holy fuck man…you would think the guy interrupted brain surgery or dropped a child off a roof or something. YOUR CAREER IS TOAST NOW BUDDY!!!!! Say hi to Ashton on the way down! waaaaaaay on dowwwwwn!!!



    51. 451

      hold me mommy…I'm scared



    52. 452

      My fucking God, what an ass. I'm so boycotting this shit movie.



    53. 453

      ok i work as a Production assistant, and if he had yelled at me like that i would have hit him with the fucking light.



    54. 454

      Dang, I'm sad I listened to it because up until this point he was my favorite talent/hot actor, top of the list. But that reaction is ridiculous, DPs do not get yelled at like, especially for adjusting a light, aka one part of his job! This guy didn't walk into frame, he was behind the camera walking around. If Mr. Bale needs total silence to do an intense scene he is 1) not the caliber of actor I thought he was. 2) should have requested a closed set.
      Kudos to the sound guy - cause he just cost you a hsitload of fans.



    55. 455

      I'm going to bed now. May I turn off my light?

      wj



    56. 456

      ew fucking christain bale, needs to chill the fuck out, what an ass hole. ew so fucking inconsiderate, this poor director of photography, why the fuck was he throwing such a fucking huge fit??!!?!! calm down ass hole! how the fuck is he allowed to talk to someone like that!!?!??!



    57. 457

      Have u EVER been on a set? EVER? My husband is a DP and he even bans ME from sets! He has banned close friends who worked as crew member BECAUSE this kind of things happen!!! Do you know if you change lighting in the middle of a scene they won´t match???
      MY QUESTION IS: WHERE THE F* WAS THE GAFFER!!????



    58. 458

      He is an ass…..and…. needs anger management help SOS the fact that he is going through a scene and being interrupted does NOT justify that way to talk …….feel sorry for people around him like family and wife…chez…. what an ass …get help man… u really need it..



    59. 459

      he has a real anger problem



    60. 460

      Oh my god…..this is insane! Gosh I love Christian Bale, but because he used to seem like a sensitive, artistic type. This babble just sounds my neighbor from Brooklyn with anger issues. I mean jesus, you'd think this crew member tried to burn his house down or something! I'm still a fan, but Christian you need to get your shit together and have some more class!



    61. 461

      I don't know if Perez actually reads these comments, but I want to tell him I was totally in agreement with him on the Bale-diva thing until I realized something. He was filming a romantic scene with Bryce Dallas Howard. BDH is really unattractive, which I would never point out except due to the nepotism of hollywood and people trying to get in good with her father, she keeps getting these ingenue roles. If I were Christian Bale and had to pretend to be romantically interested in BDH, I think that would take an extra-special amount of concentration. Because that is really ACTING, and any miniscule distraction will pull Bale out of his mental replacement imagery to face the real object of his fictional attraction, and any farse of chemistry cannot be maintained. And where exactly did Bale blow it? He said himself, when the DP was walking behind BRYCE. That's my new theory, so I give Bale a little more slack.



    62. 462

      Hey, if I was in the middle of an intense scene I'd be pissed too! We're all allowed to have our moments to yell at someone….and drop about a million f-bombs XD



    63. 463

      GOOD FOR CHRISTIAN!!
      I WOULD GO OFF TOO…
      I'M NOT IN SHOWBIZ BUT I KNOW THAT IF YOU SEE THE LENS OF THE CAMERA THAT MEANS YOU'RE IN THE FUCKING SHOT! GET OUT OF THE WAY~!!

      MAYBE THE PHOTO. DIRECTOR DIDN'T HEAR 10 PEOPLE YELLING QUIET, AND ACTION! GO GET YOUR FUCKING EARS CHECKED…!

      IT'S NOT EASY TO GO IN AND OUT OF CHARACTER AFTER HOURS OF WORKING IN STUPID FILM SETS. SO JUST LIKE YOU WANT TO GET YOUR FUCKING LIGHT FIXTURES PERFECT, CHRISTIAN WANTS HIS PERFORMANCE TO BE PERFECT. SHUT UP AND STOP WHINING YOU LITTLE BITCH!



    64. 464

      THIS RETARD IS F'D up. He needs some serious counselling. WOWIE!



    65. 465

      I CANNOT WATCH ANOTHER BALE MOVIE. THIS GUY'S A LUNATIC!



    66. 466

      holy shit. this is kinda funny. hes such a diva, i love it!



    67. 467

      I know what his favorite word is.



    68. 468

      Re: Zack8899 – Hell yeah, I would too!



    69. 469

      He really needs to have some anger control management, for real. Bale seems to have problem with both his temper and an overall bad attitude towards the film crew.



    70. 470

      Lol… He did get pretty fuckin worked up and threw in a couple unnecessary insults, but each take DOES cost tons of money… I would have been pissed, too. He obviously takes his works VERY seriously… Wouldn't have hurt to take the temper tantrum down a notch, though… And he's still sexy as fuck in my book :D



    71. 471

      STFU Perez.



    72. 472

      adjusting a light? OH MY FUCKING GOD! DISGRACE! DISGRACE!
      charming.

      when i listen news about Chris Brown,i'm happy to prefer Christian Bale and his flare-up mind!



    74. 474

      I've worked with many actors over the years and they are simply high strung and are always pushed to the limits in terms of expectations. Yes Mr. Bale was extreme in his choice of volcabulary but to interrupt an actors concentration when he's projecting a certain character is not acceptable and years ago the stagehand would have been given his walking papers without explanation. The tirade was a little extreme but not unheard of but it's usually hushed up before it hits the media. Nuf said - we're all human.
