class!Christian Bale Goes Nuts

- Start date
class!Think some are being a bit precious about this. If they've never lost their rag with someone for something like this, fair enough, but the rest of us normal flawed humans sure have! I lost it with a family member playing football once, I was emergency centre half, we were down to 9 men, and he wasn't giving me enough protection, he kept running forward and not coming back when they had possession. Had to be separated! Now I'm not the violent angry type, but anyone can get lost in the heat of the moment
I wouldn't be thinking of hitting Bale if he ranted at me like this. I'd be thinking what a dick I'd been to do something so stupid, repeatedly, that sparked this reaction and dressing down! And if he'd stopped trying to bloody defend it, the rant would have been over sooner!

What a guy. Things like this do happen though when your working and somebody is irritating you, especially in the heat of the moment.
Still the other guy shoulda' gave him a fecking slap when he started ranting. He was obviously sorry as well - people do make mistakes. Bale said he didn't understand so why not a quiet word eh... I bet he doesn't get called retarded if he gets a few lines wrong....
My thoughts as well, the production assistant should have dove at him and gotten a few good punches, to shut his feckin' gob. Furthermore, the PA (or light tech or whatever he is) shoulda known that he didn't have a chance at working in the industry again because he's a complete knobhead. At least make yourself famous by laying out Christian Bale as you are on your way out the door. I mean, there had to have been at least 10 other people standing around ready to break the fight up before it got too serious.
The dumb bastard woulda been on all the talk shows.
That is fecking genius.
Brilliant find.
I'm writing MTV and the Grammys... there have to be an award for this video, somewhere!
I think the majority of people need to get their heads out of their arses. Most footballers, professional and amateur, behave like this with teammates. Sometimes you just lose it. When you're doing something intense then you lose it. Letting off steam via the vocal chords is about the least dangerous way of releasing that intensity.
Blimey, this place is full of nuns nowadays. I've said worse to my IT Support work colleagues ffs. And we're still good friends.

Nuns, my ass!?
I say the assistant shoulda feckin' throttled him in the god damn throat!
What the feck are you talking about, he's the best actor around atm.
What a great song that makes
I don't see him threatening to quit.
Did you have to quote the whole post to say that? DID YOU feckING HAVE TO?! GET THE feck OUT OF HERE. KICK YOUR feckING ASS.
give ZING A feckING ANSWER !!
You feckING AH DE DAH DE DAH QUOTING WHOLE POSTS !!
But seriously. Bale is god.
How would you people like it if someone stopped you doing your job.
Coming up to you and kicking the mop and sponge out of your hands ?
I'd like to see you all keep your cool then.
I was quoting the article I got it from. But I think they were referring to this "You do it one more fecking time and I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired."
To all the e-hardmen saying they would give Bale a dig for yelling at them, would you ever get a grip. Imagine, you're already being yelled at for being unprofessional and stupid, and then, cuz you're well hard, you hit the star of the film. In the face. Goodbye career in Hollywood, hello Starbucks.
that songI'm still laughing at 'AH DA DAH DAH' that's classic
I've actually just listened to it for the first time, it's actually ten times funnier!
Bale you legend!
Bale you legend!
Great remix. Makes him sound like like a better actor when he's not acting imo, less wooden.
I hope if there's an outtakes bit at the end of the movie that this makes it!
Everyone is a hard man nowadays, has a 10 inch cock and bangs only models (at least in the internet world)
He even stayed in character during the rant.
That's a professional.
That's a professional.
Barbara Streisand was unexpected.
a very handsome man nevertheless
Christian Bale is a fantastic actor, one of my absolute favourites. And if I'm perfectly honest, I don't see how this makes him into some huge dick or something. Like others have said, he's an extremely focused actor, and apparently that was an emotional scene. And for some guy to walk in and ruin it in the middle of it, yeah, that could be very annoying. From what he said it also wasn't the first time it had happened. Yeah, he went overboard, but I've gone off and shouted and cursed at people before.
It's funny how people can take a 4-minute transcript of him going off a bit and by that conclude that he's clearly a dick. Particularly the people who respond by saying they would have tried to "kick his ass" for it. Pathetic.

I can't stop listening to the song
Manic depression, perhaps?
He comes off as a massive dickhead in that clip, but there's often a psychological reason for this sort of thing.

Just heard about this now.
Why did the guy just stand there and take it? He deserved everything he got for being such a little gimp.

Probably because he realised he was entirely in the wrong, having acted in a very unprofessional manner on multiple occasions?
And he did try to defend himself. He just didn't do a very good job of it, and only served to get Bale more worked up!
Apparently the BBC has got itself in trouble now, they aired an unedited version of the rant on morning TV by accident! Useless
Actor Bale speaks out over rant
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7875756.stm
Film star Christian Bale has called a US radio station to apologise for a tirade which was leaked onto the internet, calling it "inexcusable".
The actor spoke to Los Angeles-based station KROQ, and admitted that "I acted like a punk".
He added: "I was out of order beyond belief. I make no excuses for it."
Bale, 35, launched into his three-minute rant on the set of his new film Terminator Salvation when a crew member walked into his eye-line during a take.
He was heard screaming threats and swearing at Shane Hurlbut, who was in charge of the film's photography.
'Resolved completely'
Speaking to presenters Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter, an embarrassed Bale admitted he had taken things too far.
He said: "The thing that disturbs me so much is that I've heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think that I'm better than anybody else.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. I am a very lucky and that is why I put so much into what I do, and why I care so much about it and why sometimes my enthusiasm just goes awry."
In the new movie, Bale plays the main character John Connor who is battling to save humans in the future being wiped out by robots.
Bale insisted the scene that was interrupted was key to the story and he was "trying to convey" the madness his character had inherited from his mother, Sarah Connor, from 1991's hit movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
He said: "I completely mixed up fact and fiction, I'm half John Connor, I'm half Christian there."
Bale dismissed his threats of getting Hurlbut fired as "hot air" and told the station that they had reconciled since the showdown.
He said: "I've not only talked with him, we have resolved this completely.
"That very day we kept working for a number of hours. And we worked together for at least a month after that. There is no problem whatsoever.
"I've seen a rough cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful job. It looks fantastic," added the star.

Seems a bit like his character from Harsh Times
He's amazingly dedicated, Bale. His performance in the Machinist was fecking amazing, purely on the weight he lost. And hearing that rant, he still kept his american accent!
Hah, that's brilliant.
Just goes to show that he's not a cock really. He took it upon himself to call radio and apologise publically. I don't understand why as soon as some people heard his rant, they were calling for his head! I thought it was brilliant!
My favorite part is 'oooooh good for you'.
Big of him to appologize. Should be forgotten now and as I said before best Batman since keaton and an excellent actor.
The fact that he did however feel the need to appologize suggest that he knew he was out of order.
