One word to describe Christian Bale’s acting… INTENSE!
Volatile might be another. Some have wondered in the past where do the dark characters he plays end, and where does the man begin? When the actor was jailed last Summer for alledgely attacking his close family members, rumors about his hot headed temper started to fly.
Now it’s no longer rumor, we can see hard evidence of this.
Now we wouldn’t usually post this kind of gossip thing but man, if I didn’t find this completely interesting to understand how hard Bale pushes himself. This is a man under pressure, a man who isn’t satisfied unless he goes mentally to the limits and when your that kind of person, well this kind of rants is what can come of you.
TMZ have gotten their hands on some leaked audio from the set of TERMINATOR SALVATION last year when Bale completely lost all control and started to rant at Director of Photography Bruce Hurlbut, after the DP walked in on a scene Bale was acting in to check the lighting.
Bale threatens to kick Hulbert’s ass and indeed quit the movie unless Hulbert was fired. He seemingly also takes up the chores of directing as he bosses around McG and tells them to film the next scene.

Christain bale needs to take a chill pill – fuckin’ looser
What an arsehole. Hopefully he’ll apologise. Who gives a shit if he’s a big Hollywood star, he sounds like a complete prick. Hope he get’s comeuppance for this. Dick. Doesn’t sound very Welsh either.
FUUUUUCCKKKIIIINNNNGGGGGG AAAAAAAAA!!!!!Man!.
I like a man who takes his work seriously.
I want to know what scene he is playing in just to see if he seems pissed in the movie.
I found that highly entertaining! lol But yea it was kinda over the top for Bale. Either way, he takes his job pretty seriously so you cant complain about that. only thing: Bale, you gotta bring it down a level.
you know what else: for some reason, part of me thinks that is somewhat fake. Cuz the fucks are put in the right places for emphasis, and especially in the end when Bale says “fuck” right before the audio clip is over. it just seems good planning. i could be totally wrong, but yea. maybe Bale is just doin it as kicks. idk
There’s taking your jo seriously and there’s being a complete arse about it, and I think Bale has definitely gone over the line with this. Hopefully the release of this will embarass him into behaving in future. It’s just a shame he didn’t do the entire rant in his bat-growl, though.
Yeah, I’d probably be inclined to agree it’s a fake, or a joke.
If it did happen for real, I’d sack the cunt.
By the way, here’s what they were really recording that day.

It was like a deleted scene straight out of Harsh Times. Haha Brilliant.
I wonder if they’ll talk about it in the extras on the DVD.
I also got the inkling that this audioclip with Bale flippin out might be intentionally orchestrated, if not scripted.
The other commenter (PAL) was right…
why the hell does Bale seem to utter the F-word at the right frakkin time?
