Christian Bale Loses It (Click to Hear Audio)

christian_bale_2

This is awesome! Honestly I wasn’t there, but I do understand that sets and scheduling can be stressful.  This was when a Director of Photography walked into a scene, and ruining it.

Whether Bale was in the right for snapping, or not, I just love this audio clip.

What do you think?

    hahaha that dudes insane

  2. Emily Says:

    LOLOLOL. I think he was right, but holy shit he was pissed. I would imagine takes a lot of energy and concentration to act well.

  3. ElleOkay Says:

    OMG. I think CB is having a torrid affair with the F-word.

  4. Katie Says:

    WOW. Pretty extreme, but it amused me.

  5. Seth Says:

    Wow i cant believe he said all that!

  6. Beth Says:

    I’m not going to lie – that was very uncomfortable to listen to…
    I hope he’s not always like that and he just had an uber bad day or something…

    “you’re a nice guy…” classy.

    im batman.

  7. vinny Says:

    jeez lol

  8. Joshua Says:

    Wow. My virgin ears.

  9. mesowhite Says:

    He did snap did’t he lol. I guess your right about it being stressful with the schedules and other stuff they have to do. i just found the audio hilarious.

  10. Jesse Says:

    I have a mixed opinion on it. Yeah, sure he’s stressed, but at the same time it was an accident. On the other hand, apparently it wasn’t the first time the dude got in the middle of the set, so, in a way, he is right. The only question is, did he get a little too worked up over it? lol.

  11. Cassie Says:

    the only thing that would have been better is a video where he kicked the guys ass.

  12. Jessicah Says:

    WOW… WOW… WOW…

    I think it depends on how many takes they had done of the scene already as to whether he had a right to snap like that.

  13. Brand89 Says:

    They should fire Christian. He’s obviously a loose cannon.

  14. chasaddison Says:

    i lmao at this audio clip lol i think bale is completly right

  15. 4four1ones Says:

    So I am guess that the DP is the douche bag of the day…lol. Great clip phil.

  16. Erika Says:

    LOL I love it.

  17. Scott Smalley Says:

    seriously ego trip

    i can understand him being pissed but hes trying to act like hes the director or something like that

    I dont know the full story so i wont judge

    but if i were the director i would have told him to ask civilized or ask him to leave the set

  18. Wigglez Says:

    Shit might be stressful, But the I got that a guy ruined a scene by walking in the middle of a shoot. I would be angry too, but not that angry. I would have it it was over and over again. But damn. Bale is C-R-A-Z-Y.

  19. BeyondRandom Says:

    dudes nuts!! lol

  20. skube Says:

    At least he called him a nice guy.

  21. helloimmandy Says:

    i don’t think i’ve heard the f word so many times in one sitting before. lol

    but honestly, what makes actors think they can do whatever they want? acting is their day job. if someone else blew up like that they’d get fired.

  22. Edzziee Says:

    “Shut the Fuck Up Bruce”

    “I was look at the light”
    “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh GOOOOOOO For YOUUU”

  23. Edzziee Says:

    “Shut the F*** Up Bruce”

    “I was look at the light”
    “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh GOOOOOOO For YOUUU”

    lmaoooo
    sounds like a cool guy =]

  24. Geoky Says:

    Like no one here ever got “crazy” becoes of some idiot doing something stupid!

  25. Heather Says:

    OMG this guy has lost all sense of reality. I can see having a bad day but that was takin it a wee bit too far. Maybe that other guy needs to give this man some weed and calm him down, lol.

  26. brittbrat130 Says:

    haha holy shit

  27. michael Says:

    He is my HERO

  28. BananaSandwich Says:

    ….well he did beat the crap outta his own mother back in july. So im not really surprised.

  29. Tom Says:

    CB has never had such a good scene in his entire career.

  30. Spencer Says:

    Christian Bale wasn’t even the director on that. IT was completely stupid and unprofessional for him to say F*UCK so many times. Although it depends if he was a at the end of a really long scene or not. Bale was a douce in that. Also if that was my day job id be fired like that

  31. Keely Says:

    He says the f work so many times D:!

  32. gimbert Says:

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

  33. Sandra Says:

    that was sooo ridiculous. there is no excuse for that kind of behavior, no matter how stressed you are. It makes me wonder if he needs anger management or if he such a diva that no one is allowed to make mistakes around him.

  34. Marco Says:

    He holds up his reputation as an American psycho pretty well.

  35. Grisel Says:

    This is divalicious!
    We’re all human, we all get stressed and blow up on people.
    I still fucking love him.

  36. Jake Roby Says:

    ok… so this one time… I was recording in my studio… put a BIG sign on the door that said “recording in process, DO NOT KNOCK, DO NOT RING DOORBELL”

    low and behold, when the fed-ex guy came… what do you think he did?

    I didn’t yell as long as christian did, but i did yell at him… it was my 20-something take of this one track and i thought i finally had it when the doorbell rang…

    So… i know where he’s coming from…

  37. portugal Says:

    i thought that actor was nice :(

    didnt tought that he was like this…
    im dissapointed

  38. RG Says:

    WOW anyone feel like counting the # of times he uses the F word? Truly impressive.

  39. Kat Says:

    LMFAO! That’s all I have to say.

  40. Rawr Says:

    That’s why you don’t mess with Batman.

  41. Caitlin Says:

    I’d hate to be there lol

  42. Matt Says:

    He had everything right all through that untill he said “You don’t know what its like working with actors”, what he should have said was: “You dont know what its like working with raging egotistical pricks”

  43. Miss Amaya Says:

    I think he had every right to be mad, but he definitely milked it as much as he could. He treated him like a child, which I think is unfair. He made a mistake, shit happens! He doesn’t have to belittle him for five minutes. Get over it :P

    I’m sure the Director of Photography won’t step in another scene though x.x

  44. Natronzero Says:

    Shit, what set does he think he’s on? I Heart Huckabees?

  45. Robert697 Says:

    Another Hollywood premadonnawannabe loses it, and for totally unprofessional reasons. There are always things going on in the background. And if this were a live performance, even more. If the man can’t concentrate and do the job, then he don’t belong in the business.

  46. jriktor Says:

    christian bale is a douchebag. motherfucker gets paid millions of dollars and for playing pretend and he throws a hissy fit?! even thought they went for another take his fuckin job isnt hard. i would of hit him.

  47. Joshua Says:

    he sounds like a little kid

  48. Joshua Says:

    i have lost all respect for him. at least it happened in a funny way :)

  49. Caitlyn Says:

    He is now my ULTRA hero.

    and I understand pretty well why he might have snapped, Ive worked on photo shoots/films before and it can be really stressful.

    I hate it when people say acting is easy. Acting is NOT F@*king easy. especially for big and popular movie. It can really stress out everyone. especially the main actors and the director. which is why you really dont try to cross them. shit gets real. lol

  50. Nathan Says:

    now imagine it.. except with his Batman voice.

  51. Nathan Says:

    .. professionally..

  52. Izzi Says:

    :D What charisma.

    Anywho, I can’t blame him entirely, because he has a right to be pissed off, but that speech would have sounded more appropriate if it came out of the DIRECTOR’S mouth. Not Bale’s. Christian seems like he has a bit of an ego.

  53. dandaman19101 Says:

    what film wa that anyone know?

  54. Brian Says:

    God damn. I understand being pissed, but I wish so many actors weren’t total douchebags, especially Christian Bale.

  55. alexfaaace Says:

    i don’t think he was in the wrong, especially being as it was apparently not the first time he walked through their shot. a DP should know better than to walk into a scene, i hate it when people walk across the back of the stage during a rehearsal, it’s distracting.

    but, he did get a little overly mad didn’t he?

  56. DedMunkey Says:

    That dude got raped by CB in a batman suite…

    the DP got what he deserved…everything he said gave CB more ammo to throw back at him…which provoked CB to belittle him more than the dude deserved.

    Then again…he did mess up a second scene. like a child looking at the pretty lights walking on set in the middle of a take…come on.

  57. chubman73 Says:

    I like Christian Bale, but now he sounds like a right asshole, but then again it could not be his fault.

  58. Brian Says:

    BTW, I counted and he said the word “fuck” in one derivation or another 40 times.

  59. sam Says:

    ha if that little fag spoke to me like that it would be the last time he would have said anything.

  60. liltat2chick Says:

    This clip would make a great drinking game if you drank every time he dropped the F bomb eh?

  61. nestorrfortuna Says:

    this is a very bad case of acute celebritis, he would not last a second if he does that to me, do not care how many batman pushups he can do, i fucking clubbed the cheeky queer to death.

  62. Saul. Says:

    I would have battered him all over the show if he spoke to me like that.

  63. christine Says:

    wow, if i was the director i would have told christian bale to get the fuck off my set if he’s going to be an asshole. if this photographer was so distracting, tell him to stop the FIRST time. no matter what the situation there’s no reason to explode.

  64. nicole Says:

    i dont care about it much. hes just bitching. if i had a voice thing of my dad yelling for real, you would shit your pants listening to it. he makes grown men ball like babies

  65. Scott Says:

    This is a perfect example of an actor acting bigger than he really is. Crazy method actors cant expect everyone else to not do their jobs so the actor can do his. That guy probably would have been fired if he didn’t check the lights, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he is jobless now haha.

  66. wanda Says:

    i totally understand where bale is coming from, and he is definatly justified in having to scare sense into that dp, but what some one else commented is true, he did not need to swear so much during his tirade.

  67. Kevlar Eagle Says:

    DAMN he pwns

  68. naomi Says:

    LOL. Ahahah.

    “I don’t need any fucking walking. He needs to stop walking.”

  69. Kirk H Says:

    All I’ve got to say is he’s human and he’s goes a little extreme. But this is how he makes his money and he needs to be the best he can when on the job.

  70. eric Says:

    i wouldn’t have taken that. i don’t care who he is or how much respect i have for him as an actor nobody talks to me like that. cb should control that temper, talk to someonelike the director so that they can watch the dp in case hes overstepping and focus on the scene. jesus. relax man.

  71. Henning Says:

    If I were the director I would have kicked Bale out of the film. Actors are a dime a dozen. I don’t care how good they are I would not tolerate that type of behaviour.

  72. Henning Says:

    I wouldn’t use anger management, that stuff can have the reverse effect. Just have someone woop his ass a few times to bring him back in line.

  73. lukee Says:

    Hes always seemed like an asshole to me…

  74. Ian Says:

    I’m guessing that makes the unrated edition’s bonus disc…

  75. ken Says:

    the director should’ve pulled the DP off and dealt with him before CB got up to (from the sounds) fight him…

  76. charlie Says:

    Jeesus… he is going crazy and having sex with the F-word

  77. Jon Jon Says:

    I would’ve been pissed like that too, if someone made same mistake twice and couldnt understand what thell he did wrong. Go bale lol.

  78. Bob Says:

    I’ve thrown worse tantrums then that! It didn’t even sound like he threw anything! Belittle the guy? My god that’s nothing! If someone pulled a seriously expensive and boneheaded move such as wrecking a take for the SECOND TIME, I probably would have pulled his lights down on him! If you’re going to be responsible for making a massive movie like T4, then you should act with some serious professionalism. Especially after you’ve been bitched out once.

  79. Dylan Says:

    I think he’s in the right, I would be pissed too. Hilarious though

  80. Glenn Says:

    Just shows what little bitches these actors and actresses are in Hollywood. The guy is doing his job to make sure the lighting is right so he doesn’t get bitched at and this douche who apparently can’t concentrate goes ape-shit on him. IM not in the industry but honestly you get after the guy for doing it but no need to belittle someone. Get off your high horse.

    These clowns in Hollywood get paid ass tons of money and the media sucks there cocks left and right, and all at a job where they just play pretend. There are people out there who do more for society than those douche bags ever could and they don’t get the attention or salary actors and actresses do.

  81. Sean Says:

    Batman becomes the joker…

  82. Zach Says:

    damn…rofl

  83. freddy d. Says:

    ok, the guy gettin snapped on is a little bitch. If that were me i wouldve knocked his muthafuckin teeth out his muthafuckin mouth. there is no muthafucker thats treat me like that…..FUCK!!!!! FUCK YOU CHRISTIAN BALE!!!!!

  84. Staceydyan Says:

    Christian Bale seems like a dick. He was talking about being professional but he wasn’t acting professional at all.

  85. Will Says:

    Someones career just came to a halt lol…

  86. thehosster Says:

    let’s take a minute. Christian Bale is a fucking award winning actor, has been in some of the best movies i’ve ever seen, and you think he doesn’t have the right to have some say in how he gets to do his job? He has every right to react the way he did. I’m not saying it’s the “right” way to react, but the man is an A list celebrity. Give him a break man. At least he’s not Tom Cruise.

  87. HailDarkLord Says:

    ““you’re a nice guy…”, then he should have said, “I’m F*cking Batman damn it! You DON’T f*ck with the Dark Knight!” He just needed to create a little hype because he got out shined by The Joker in the last movie. Now he has to be able to out shine The Terminator(s)… pretty tough roles to cover. I think he was well with in his rights to freak on the dude. Having to stop more than once for the same guy during a shoot, costs money. Besides, you guys wouldn’t have had so much to say if he just sat silently and waited, while the guy walking around adjusting the light got stared at till he felt stupid. It’s a better off cam scene this way!! ~ Jim Grim

  88. HailDarkLord Says:

    CB… “Let me show you a little magic trick…”

  89. Dex Luther Says:

    According to what was said it’s not the first time that the idiot ruined a scene like that, so he had every right to be pissed.

  90. benanr90 Says:

    what a f-ing prima donna prick…woulda fired his ass. he even dares yell at the director.

  91. benanr90 Says:

    he wasted more time ranting this guy out then it woulda taken to just redo the shot

  92. Lyzette Entwistle Says:

    I think that the guy was wrong but there comes a degree of professionalism required and it is clear that CB doesn’t have it. I think the guy is an awesome actor but he has no right in any circumstance to talk at his work place to anyone like that. Imagine if your manager talked to you like that? I don’t care how many times someone messes up, you don’t act like that. I am of the opinion that what he did was inexcusable.

  93. Esque Says:

    Sorry, DP was probably in the wrong but you don’t do that to a DP.

    What set are we on? I didn’t catch it.

    If it’s in a Batman movie then they don’t have a half assed DP and he’s a pro and Bale is PMSing.

  94. Emma Says:

    haha he needs to learn another word other than “fuck”

  95. Marissa Says:

    Damn, he told dude off. I hope he was just having a bad day and doesn’t act like this all the time.

    But to tell the truth it made me LOL.

  96. Clyde Says:

    Damn… He’s a real DICK HEAD !!!

  97. ssdf Says:

    bro theyve already filmed half the movie and hes an amazing actor

  98. Coleslayer Says:

    It sounds like this guys been walking behind the scenes one to many times. So I honestly don’t blame Christian. I’ve seen it before.

    But if he honestly did make a mistake, then Christian needs a good boot in the teeth. Holy crap…

  99. Chris Says:

    why wasn’t he the douche bag of the day?? lol

  100. Amanda V Says:

    Did he just realize that he is in T4 and that makes him angry?

    I totally forgot he wasn’t American, weird.

    Anyway, it was pretty funny but I feel bad for the guy he is yelling at.

  101. jimbo Says:

    what a bitch. someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed

  102. Nemz Says:

    The DP of a major Hollywood blockbuster should know far better than to waltz around in front of the camera during a take. And he sure as hell should know better than to do it repeatedly.

    Bale isn’t the only person on that set that gets paid a lot of money to do their job professionally.

    CB – DP: 1-0

  103. Jamal Says:

    Wow I’ve never heard someone get so heated for ruining their set!! It mustve been a bad day for Bale.

  104. Azza Says:

    Holy crap!

  105. ayerhead Says:

    I love it when he switches accents halfway through and goes back and forth…

  106. Tim Welch Says:

    I woulda fukkin beat the piss out of him if me fukkin talked to me that way… I wouldn’t care if he was Brad Pitt!

  107. percyluv Says:

    lmaooo, well as a fellow filmmaker, i see both views, the dp shouldnt have interrupted the actor cuz well wen they have been workin on a scene to get it perfect they get cranky, but on other hand he was probably fixing the lights to make the shot look better…….. bale didnt have to keep going tho so hes the jerk in this when the dp clearly said sorry!

  108. jozee Says:

    The DP should have checked his damn lights BEFORE they started shooting the scene. And he doesn’t do it just once…but TWICE? Clearly Mr.Bale got to him before the director did. I probably would have flipped out too, the man was wasting time, and not to mention a lot of money (depending on how they were shooting it) needing to do another take.

    I can only imagine the body language the DP was giving off to have him go on for five minutes! I’m with Bale on this one, that DP was a complete moron, and probably wasted a good few thousand dollars and the crews time needing to shoot the scene again (which probably would have been perfect if Bale were allowed to do his job and not be interrupted by an unprofessional DP)

  109. Alan Says:

    Nice. I like to imagine this as being a sick joke on the DP and an acting exercise for Bale. What if after this clip, back in the trailer, Bale said, “aw, just fucking around mate, had to warm up my psyche and act a little out of my role… what sweet pranks you could do as an actor. Man, I would like to see the look on that DPs face when told it was a joke.

  110. Erica Says:

    He acted like a child and refused to move and was caught up in his own hissy fit. And was accusing someone else of being unprofessional? What a jerk. If anything he said was true was that he is done professionally. I would have the patience of a saint if I was getting paid what he was.

    On the amusing side of life he said fuck 36 times in 5 minutes, id call that a record lol.

  111. Jason Says:

    Christ, what a fucking whiner. He’s worse than Luke Skywalker.

  112. Chad Daniels Says:

    I imagine the only way to get Christian Bale that pissed was if he was having a horrible day, it was one of the key scenes and he was working his arse off doing it, then near the end of the scene the Director of Photography walks in behind him to try to fix the lighting. Bale takes it somewhat lightly the first time but then the second time he goes berserk.

    That’s my only logical explanation. I would only e this pissed if I was having a horrible, horrible day.

  113. Chad Daniels Says:

    He could have been having a horrible day, I would act like that if I did the scene perfectly and if I was the goddamn Batman

  114. Edwin Says:

    LMAO, fuckin awesome. He had a right to lose it. That DP most of been praying he doesnt lose his job.

  115. Mike Says:

    LMFAO this was awesome I was just watching batman today lol.

  116. Michael Says:

    I like how people keep talking like they know what happened, when they clearly do not. You judge Bale and you’re no better than he is. And yes, I understand the irony in my statement, thank you.

    (If you don’t get it, think about it.)

  117. Katie Says:

    Its like we all forgot people are just people. Both the yeller and the yellee are people. Emotions burst.

  118. Majora Says:

    Ha ha, that’s so funny. How did he rant for so long? Good God.

  119. FarahJayden Says:

    Is it wrong that I find that audio clip of Bale sexy? I just love arrogant divas.

  120. lawlimnator Says:

    You’re being awfully one-sided. It doesn’t look like you mentioned at all the fact that this guy should have checked the lights before the scene started or anything. I’m on Bale’s side.

  121. C-los Says:

    I’ve made two features now and in the thick of it there’s tons of stress. CB had a right to flip out, but someone should have stepped in. No one deserves to be treated that bad for that long. If he had the same rant on a grip, he would have been knocked the hell out, Batman or not.

  122. chrisasdf Says:

    they should fire Christian? yeah, can tell how versed you are in business…

  123. kmzchicago Says:

    Aw, Bale. I’m a die hard lifelong Bale fan (only complaint about him at all is that he phoned it in for the Dark Knight. Sad), so I was sort of cringe-laughing-wide-eyed throughout the audio.

    I have mixed reactions to this. On the one hand, I was like “woh, calm down crazy entitled actor.” On the other hand, if the DP is a fucking amateur, why shouldn’t Bale get pissy?

    This did make me wonder, though, about his alleged “attack” on his sister and mother (charges were dropped). Dude clearly has a prolonged temper…

  124. kmzchicago Says:

    PS – I love whoever that is talking to Bale who says “Good adjustments.” That’s an amazing response to what Bale was saying/doing. Like “Good notes, Bale.” I am betting that was the director.

  125. Jack Says:

    It wasn’t cool at all for him to explode like that.

    It even sounds like at one point he has to be restrained, and all for a mistake???

    Even if it had happened before, who is he to bark out orders and verbally abuse someone? If he’s not the Director, he should take it up with the Director.

    Either way, it’s pretty disappointing. I don’t think I’d want to work with him!

  126. Krusty Says:

    Bales a complete a-hole to be honest. he has serious issues.

    that said, he is an awesome actor, and is especially awesome in the recent batmans.

  127. Paddy Wallbouncer Says:

    I used to like Christian Bale. Now I understand he’s just another Pahmy Wanker.

  128. shinnosuke Says:

    is there a video of this? cause if it’s, it’s gold! hahahahhaa

  129. Jason Says:

    i was waiting for him to say “IM BATMAN” and then bite the guy

  130. andrew Says:

    yea but you’d be amazed how many actors snap on a movie set once or twice its the stress to do a movie in a certain amount of tie did he have a rite to snap like that no but it happens its just a matter of how the director deals with it and so on

  131. MADfist40 Says:

    holy shit, Christan Bale needs to pull his head from out of his ass and ease up! alright, unfortunately the photographer was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but seriously, Bale went overboard..

    entertaining none the less!

  132. Sindy Says:

    I understand his frustration, but c’mon, was all that really necesary? Jeese, it’s not like he ruined the movie and it’s not like you can’t reshoot the scenes.

    Christian needs anger management…or a bonghit!

  133. Kat Says:

    LOLOLOOLLLLLLL

    THIS WAS GREATTTT!!! ahhahaha

  134. JO Says:

    I’m a big fan of CB, but as a mom I’d love to bring out the bar of soap. He was obviously in a black rage, very upset and it’s quite apparent he’s lacking communication tools when it comes to expressing one’s miscontent. I still love him though and his outburst does not take away anything from his talent. Maybe someone pi&?%d in his cornflakes that morning!

  135. mary Says:

    omg…….

    actors gone wild.

    this is hilarious. and crazy. hes an angry angry man.

    i dont even know……angry christian bale….. mmmm

  136. Ekkoe (Ptrrrrrrrr) Says:

    He’s really scary. Perfect American Psycho / Batman.

  137. w00t =D Says:

    Fucking Awesome! =D
    If I were there I would have given him an applause!
    Thats just human nature folks! XD Just as natural as being happy or sad.

  138. sk8rgrl1792 Says:

    ha ha ha thatd be fun

  139. Durka durka stan Says:

    i think he was right for flipping like that.. coulda put it a little bit more kindly though..

  140. Preston Says:

    Grow up. You think acting isn’t hard? Lets see you do some acting. Unless you’ve done some real work in an area you’re criticizing, you have no right. And acting like you know what you’re talking about doesn’t count.

  141. Nikki Says:

    holy shit. :o
    you can really hear his accent when he’s freaking out.

  142. Jessica Says:

    Yes, it would be unbelievably stressful to work long hours to complete a movie. However, a ‘cultured’ actor like Bale should focus on the people who are actually working to make this movie what it is, and who are not acting. I think the Photography Director had previous screw-ups, yes, but Bale should have handled it more maturely. Celebs are never alone.

  143. Joemofo Says:

    “I get it, Just walk for 5 seconds”
    ” I DONT NEED ANY F***ING WALKING!!! HES THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO STOP WALKING!!!”

  144. Casey Says:

    Oh wow. . . that was a LITTLE more than necessary.

  145. Laura Says:

    Oh wow! Haha. Actors can get testy. ;)

  146. Dontprotect Says:

    it sounded like he was acting.
    good shit.

  147. wtflol Says:

    dude wtf is his accent he changed it every 10 seconds i dont get it

  148. Sydney Says:

    BWAHAHAHA

  149. Vienna Says:

    Oida… over reaction anyone?
    Out of line in my opinion.

  150. Namefag Says:

    Sounded like the guy deserved it to me. I was just surprised at how long he kept going on about it. I love CB, but that was a little overkill.

  151. ShoT Says:

    wow, fuck him.

    kinda ironic that his named is “christian” hahaha

  152. Inverted Says:

    If i were the Director of Photography, Christian would not be standing as soon as he called me a prick.

    ” you prick!” …Punch.

  153. butt boy Says:

    YOU DO NOT WALK ON SET IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOOT! That is a huge cinematic boo boo on that guy’s part. he does deserve to be yelled at, Bale was justified.

  154. setnickgo Says:

    lol good one

  155. Brian Says:

    … wow. He needs to relax.

  156. shmaller Says:

    Yeah you would. If Christian Bale was up in your face yelling at you for almost four minutes, you’d be pissing yourself. All your little tough guy talk would be out the window faster than CB could say “Fuck”.

  157. tvmaxwell Says:

    whoa this is not right!! the guy was fixing the light to make the scene better, C. B. could’ve just told him to not do that and the light man could’ve told him the light was screwy. Christian bale hits his mother and sister and now this. I feel bad for his future kids

  158. Justin B Says:

    Everyone was wrong. When you are on set, if you are part of the crew, as soon as that camera is rolling, you are still as the dead and out of the actors’ sights. Doesn’t matter who you are unless you are the director. You hold your equipment, check your levels, watch your lights all with a straight face and as little movement as possible.

    According to this, the guy moved twice, and we don’t know if Bale called him out on it the first time or if the guy didn’t know he was why Bale stopped the first time.

    Bale is wrong. He wasted an immense amount of time screaming something he could have clarified firmly in one or two sentences, all while bitching about how unprofessional the other guy was being. There’s nothing more unprofessional than pitching a fit, no matter who the fuck you are, actor or even director. Bale was out f line, and it clearly shows, coupled with his behavior several days later with his family that he has severe anger management issues.

  159. Justin B Says:

    I was just told it was around the time Heath died and that they were close, and one could have affected Bale’s behavior both on and off set that week. Maybe.

  160. trent Says:

    He is seriously a fucking idiot for blowing his top like that
    i don’t think anybody should g et mad over dumb things like that

  161. X_X Says:

    So as the DP the man should have done his job before the take even started. This wasn’t his first time walking into the take, ruining yet another take that could have probably helped them move on in the movie. It’s not that he can’t concentrate, it’s hard to act, try it. It’s not as easy as everyone seems to think it is, because if that were the case then we wouldn’t pay people thousands of dollars to act. You’re not in the industry so don’t make stupid comments you don’t know about. Sure Bale could have cursed less but if it was a long scene, long day, and had been doing this scene for a while and you think you just might have finished it then this dumbass comes and ruins it, you’d probably react the same way.
    FYI the media does not suck the actors “cocks left and right” if you ever do pick up a magazine you’ll notice that the media like to belittle the hell out of actors from saying “they gained weight” to how poorly they did something.
    Sure there are other who do more for society but most tend to do it because it’s what they believe is correct, not because they want the publicity. If they are doing it for publicity then they are douche’s because they should help out not because they’ll get recognized but because that is what they feel is right. The media exists to ruin others.
    I’m on Bale’s side I’ve been in small theater productions when someone walks in on your skit, it sucks and gets one irritated. Bale does this for a living, it would make sense why he blew up.

  162. ed Says:

    pissed is one thing, didn’t i hear him threaten this guy @ some point.
    buck up little camper nobody was hurt, none killed lets keep this in perspective here, It is a movie you are making,no reason to YELL! like i just harmed your family. if he is such a great actor then get back in character and go yell at your therapist.

  163. ason316 Says:

    does anyone know what movie they were shooting?

  164. Chris Says:

    An idiot? Seriously? Who the hell are you? None of you, myself included, know Christian Bale AT ALL. You don’t know what he was going through or why he snapped an continued with his rant. You’re going to call him names, call him crazy, but what the hell do you guys know about him? Nothing. All you hear is him flipping out on someone. That’s just a fraction of the story. If Justin B is right, that is a perfect explanation of his behavior. Like someone said, he’s human and that was a very human thing to do.

  165. Matt Says:

    When you come down to it acting is not that hard actually compared to other professions. Even if it is challenging that is no excuse to treat another person like this. He was being a huge egotistical idiot making a scene like that in front of everyone trying to humiliate the guy. He should apologize and not be such a douchebag in the future. He isn’t as important or good as he thinks. If I was that guy there is no way in hell I would have taken that shit from him without defending myself. Ugh, I definitely lost respect for this asshole.

  166. Dan Says:

    “Second time” he says. He’s clearly overreacting, but he does have a point, it’s highly distracting.

  167. Greg Says:

    sounds like he was already pissed about something (guess his latte was late) and he was the only one that saw this guy ruin the scene repeatedly.. he should probably get his head out of his ass and let the guy do his job… people walk around behind scenes.. that’s life.. you’ve been an actor for how long and you still can’t get over that?? what a douche

  168. Emiliano Says:

    aww…boo-hoo. are we supposed to feel bad for christian bale because he works in a stressful business? I say too bad. he’s the one who decided to be an actor, and you go through hell. I don’t care if he’s had a bad day, unlike most of us, money can help make his problems go away.

  169. Stugio Says:

    It’s funny how Bale asks whomever whether or not he’s professional, like he’s one to talk.

  170. Josh Says:

    Seems he’s not getting enough of the vagina.

  171. Terrance Says:

    Only he’s British….

  172. iJamesKTPQx Says:

    well i think Bale was a bit excessive.
    but if the man walks into a scene TWICE, then he deserved to get his ass chewed out.
    thats just completely un-professional.
    granted that Bale seems un-profeesional, but he would not have snapped if the other guy would have just done his job right.

  173. Lioness Says:

    I didn’t like him in batman…and this reminds me of tropic thunder when tom cruise was like when an actor gets out of line..u spank their ass..lmao

  174. hadexperience Says:

    dude, if im rehearsing for a play, and some asshole gets in teh middle of the way when im acting that is very aggravating. dude its common sense to not get in a shot, let alone twice. Once is okay but u have da balls to do it again?

    bale has all reason to yell, hes human to get angry. Hes da one getting paid to do a good job, the other guy isnt.

  175. davin Says:

    hahaha that guy got ripped up,thanks for the link man,it been awhile since ive herd some one get chewd up that bad

  176. Dan Says:

    Haha this is hilarious!! The guy was yelled at by Batman haha!! great!!

  177. daddytech Says:

    ok, I don’t know how intense the scene was or what was being interupted but this guy is an asshole. I am glad I never paid to see any of his movies now.

  178. Death Bus Says:

    Wow some of you are really harsh or have never been around a stage or a set. People blowing up like this has been happening for years. But today an actor does something like this and of course it ends up on the Internet. The only people who know what really happened are those that were there. I say neither are in the wrong. For all we know Bale could have apologized later.

  179. Jack Says:

    Apparently this was going on around the time Christian’s mom was also trying to sue him for “assaulting” her which he never did.

    So he was pretty stressed out and c’mon, its Terminator, shit’s gotta be tense.

    Oh well.

  180. Bria Says:

    Haha.. I just find it truly hilarious. There have been times where i’ve “snapped” at co-workers merely because they were being douchebags. And i’m sure he feels bad about it now not only because it’s damaged his image, but because he really did embarass and hurt the guys feelings. (atleast, thats how I felt afterward). People have anger issues! And yes movie sets are stressful and each take costs money (lots of it), maybe this was Bale’s way of saving the movie company money in this dire financial situation we’re all in as a country. (Or maybe he had to drop a deuce and he wasn’t allowed to leave the set til that scene was complete) Thank god he didn’t run at him guns blazin! I just hope poor Tom put whatever it was back on in a timely fashion! hahahaha But, I am definately going to see this movie and try and pick out what scene this whole debacle took place around!

  181. Bria Says:

    The new terminator.

  182. Death Bus Says:

    Some of you guys seem pretty quick to judge someone by one overreaction. To bad no one has audio of the ones you have made in your life.

    Btw this is while they were filming T4.

  183. Maverician Says:

    That’s a stupid way of looking at it (ed).

    If he had harmed his family he should have done more than threatened the dude, he should have harmed him back.

    The point is that he can’t be a great actor if someone is ruining the shot. They may have just lost a great (possible) scene and as he said, it happened before this. These scenes are worth thousands of dollars of set time.

    No matter the situation, to say he has done wrong, or done right, is going too far for us. We don’t know the full situation.

    Personally though, with the current info and filling in the gaps, I think it’s pretty plain that he acted reasonably.

  184. mallori Says:

    man, his career is gonna be majorly screwed by this.

  185. DD Says:

    Oh cry me a fricken river. Your not the only one who has acted and sure there is more to it than just playing make believe but it does not excuse his tirade. Nor is he some innocent little lamb being led to the slaughter by the evil media.
    You act like a dick people you’ll get a reputation for being a dick and its right that someone calls him on it. Maybe this will be a good thing for him, stop him doing a Rourke to his career. Snapping and saying something stupid would be excusable but ranting like a fiend isn’t. Take went wrong, say something sure but then you either man up and go again or you take a break and go deal with the issue in a professional manner by talking to the director and DP.

  186. jssjmp Says:

    look just because you like christian bale as an actor(and yeah he is basically one of the good ones) doesn’t change the fact that he is a psyhcotic diva. He is an adult, and regardless of circumstances, even if it does happen to people does not make t okay. It happened twice and he was acting like this man was out to destroy his career. he was way outta line. I mean you would think after he stopped yelling he might have realized that all that time he was yelling that he was unprofessional and wasting every ones time on the set. I got no respect for that ass.

  187. stev Says:

    it sounded to me like the guy kept trying to defend himself and blow it off, like he clearly thought he was right and didn’t care, u can tell cuz Bale was done thenyou hear a mumble and he starts back, then is done and u hear more mumbling and every time you hear a mumble you hear Bale blow up more… if the guy just left and gave Bale a minute to cool off he would’ve calmed down i think and it would’ve ended better for everyone involved.

  188. Suge Says:

    What a fucking prat he sounds. Like a child at toys r us. No need for all the shouting, swearing and making the light guy look a cunt in front of everybody. If id of been the light guy id of walked out of the fucking set, right after if smaked him in the mouth.

  189. shadoninja Says:

    They were shooting the new terminator movie.

  190. Rodders Says:

    I understand that there is a degree of tact that was and needed to be exercised; and was, with this incident, ie christian bale not continuing until the DP got the sack. But, he is preaching about professionalism whilst shouting profanities at him. Where did his professionalism go? If he had spoken to me like that, I would have kicked his ass. Seriously! He is an amazing actor, but that alone does not give you the excuse to be a C**t. All actors take note.

  191. shadoninja Says:

    he walked right behind bryce, the actor playing kate connor.

  192. fohasha Says:

    hahaha that was sooo funny but i think i would piss my pants if i was the DP lol

  193. foggy Says:

    hahaha he’s crazy xD

  194. bob777 Says:

    Iwouldnt call him a pre madonna hes been in big films since he was a kid like empire of the sun

  195. sebignok Says:

    my throat hurts just thinking about that

  196. TicklesME Says:

    god, that is the most “fuck” i ever heard in my life hahahha, dang.

  197. m8kitup Says:

    sweet mother mary and joseph!, what an air raid of “F” bombs.
    love’d it!!!

  198. Psychodog Says:

    If CB goes nuclear about some guy walking on the set during a take and calls him F#*%ing unprofessional, imagine his reaction when he finds out the sound guy put this rant out on the internet!!!

  199. Thanae Says:

    I can understand his reaction if it was at the end of a very long scene. Bale is known for really diving into emotional playing. So, if someone just destroyed your hard effort by walking into a scene, I figure lots of people would be very angry and explode like that. Anyway, using foul language like he did is NOT OK!

  200. Gustave Says:

    Pfft. EVERY effing reason to yell. Try working in front of a camera keeping in character for hours. Only to have some ding-dong ruin a bloody 20 minute scene by walking in…or by forgetting to plug in the audio jack for the boom mic.

    He is a great actor. You aren’t.

    He’s batman. You are…not.

    So he can yell all he wants.

    You just shush.

  201. Amit Says:

    For a welsh guy, his accent is fucked

  202. Big Red Pro Says:

    I would of beat the shit outta him.

  203. Ewan Says:

    He has really lowered my opinion of him (not that it matters). He should have just told the guy that he was messing up and calmly explained why he was angry. That really did not need to go to that extreme. I mean what can he say to a man like Christian Bale?

  204. Theresnotime Says:

    That was quite a reaction… We’ll probably never know if the guy really deserved it but, I can’t believe so many people posted mentioning batman and said no one made the obvious joke:

    WHY SO SERIOUS?!

  205. Joe Says:

    Lol sounded like Christian Bale had a case of Roid Rage

  206. bosshog66 Says:

    oh my god!! that is actually the funniest thing i have heard in so long.
    he was well right to go mad if the guy has done it more then once and the DP should be replaced seriously cos he doesnt seem to have any i dea of the stresses an actor has staying in character.

  207. flannelking Says:

    I love how there’s already a remix of this with Bill O’ Reily’s “FUCK IT!”

  208. Rhianon Says:

    He said “fuck” 39 times in total. xD I love the Welsh.

  209. KC Says:

    That would be true if he could act well. XD

  210. VV Says:

    “Seriously man, we’re fucking done professionally”… like the guy is still going to hang out and be friends with him after being spoken to like that.
    He might have had a point, but what a dick-like way of expressing him self.
    He has the nerve to ask that poor guy if he’s a professional… News flash Chris, in the real world people who work together don’t get to shout at each other like that!
    And what is up with his accent… I’m all for changing accents around but not usually mid-sentence

  211. daexion Says:

    Wow, he totally lost it. I cannot even fathom how much pressure someone would have to under to have them go off like that.

  212. Dopcode Says:

    That was a hell of a rant…
    To be honest I think Christian Bale was being a bit overly dramatic about the whole thing, but the D.P. was a douchebag for not knowing that an actor will flip like that.

  213. Jack H Says:

    I guess he’s just an american psycho….

  214. Jennifer Says:

    An audio clip like this makes it really easy for Christian Bale to look like the bad guy because he’s the only one we can hear speaking and thus we only hear his offenses being said. However, I think the reality is that if a person is yelling at a person for nearly 5 straight minutes it stands to reason that there was more of a dialogue continuing BETWEEN the two. Perhaps the director of photography was provoking Bale with argumentativeness of his own.

    Regardless, I’m sure it must be extremely frustrating when you’re trying to make a huge budget action movie working for 12+ hours a day with intense physical and mental stress and someone screws up an important scene. Even when I was in college producing our little film productions it could be really infuriating when someone screws up a part of the production due to simple thoughtlessness. When you put a lot of yourself into something you expect other people to have the same respect for it.

  215. mitchery Says:

    as much as a tool as he sounds for freaking out like that…can’t really blame the guy and i kind of respect him for how much passion he has in his work. I mean you have to figure each shot is costing them a million or more to film and this guy is taking that shit personally. Tell that bastard off batman!! Good for you.. I laughed.

  216. Ducky1138 Says:

    I think this could hurt him.. it was unprofessional, so im not sure who would wanna work with this guy… and it destroys my image of him in his roles, next time i hear him saying some selfless line, about serving justice, ill think he could be moments away from doing THAT!!

  217. Steven Says:

    i think i counted it right with a total of 48 fucks…. holy fucking shit man

  218. DallasDeb Says:

    Hollywood is an intense place to work. There one mistake and you are out. It is high stress on set with thousands of dollars being spent per minute with a large crew of union employees standing around waiting for things to happen. Evidently, Bale said it was the second time. The key word used is unprofessional–the DP was being a liability. Is it right or a better term, effective for Bale to go ballistic? I doubt the DP will ever make that mistake again, but unfortunately it took losing his job to learn it. Bale will have everyone walking on eggshells so they don’t set off another F’n blitz. Sounds pretty effective to me. Nice? No.

  219. Dale Says:

    I think he went overboard with the rant, but that clip is hilarious.

    As for Christian Bale’s acting, I think he’s probably one of the best at the moment, so not sure what you’re thinking KC.

  220. tim Says:

    Man this guy is a dick, he thinks the world centers around him, sorry CB it doesnt. He should also remember before batman how many big rolls did he have. Like did anyone see “Harsh Times”, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Finally before “Batman Begins” in 2005 most of his previous films were English titles, maybe in English its ok to talk to people like that but here your just an ass.

  221. Serph Says:

    Honestly, you never have a right to yell like that. Sorry, but he obviously blew his stack before telling the guy what his issue was. If he had done it before, why the hell didn’t he tell him then?! Christian Bale needs to go back to abusing his mother and sister and stop it before his little who-even-knows-where-he-comes-from-since-his-accent-changes-all-the-time butt talks crap to the wrong light guy and gets popped. . . actually, go for it CB. the real Batman got annihilated not too long ago anyhow. . .

  222. azn Says:

    honestly, the more i think about it, the more i defend bale. he puts so much effort in his acting and all and this isn’t like the first offense by the DP. the right to yell like that? i dunno, but there’s a lot of stress in acting and hardly anyone is talked about blowing a fuse. just so happens that bale’s is hugely public, but this is probably not the first time an actor’s been pissed. i agree with “jennifer” up above a few posts. bale seeming to be the bad guy is amplified by the fact that other stories of actors exploding are kept quiet. but yeah, i’m on bale’s side in this one.

  223. Lyly Says:

    Holy F. That was nutso.

  224. lol Says:

    he said ‘we’re done professionally’ not ‘we’re done hanging out and being friends.’

    and lol @ “I’m all for changing accents around but not usually mid-sentence”

    srsly wtf.

    i don’t know what kind of person is for changing accents around, mostly not in the same sentence, but i’m sure they are pretty fuckin retarded.

  225. Mike Says:

    Wow… Christian Bale seems like an idiot. I’ve seen other people snap like this and they’ve all been idiots. I kind of lost my respect I had for him when listening to this.
    I have no respect for people like this.

  226. jermey Says:

    it was probably the Director of Photography that leaked this onto the internet. lol pay backs a bitch, but thats what he gets for being such a fucking asshole to the poor guy.

  227. LolaRose Says:

    what a fuckin diva!

  228. matt Says:

    gees, i liked him in batman begins and the dark knight

  229. LC Says:

    well that was very unattractive

  230. Don Andy Says:

    hahaha this sounds like a scene from one of the classic martin scorsese films like casino or goodfellas lol

    he sounds f****** italian!

  231. psychowaffle Says:

    VV said we’re fucking done professionally” so why are you confused?

    he literally said, you shouldn’t change accents mid-sentence. if your going to complain about what someone commented, at least read their comment properly.

  232. Kawiza Says:

    I think hes right to get angry, but not to flame the guy, tis way out of line…

  233. Rundle Says:

    first of all no he didnt have to yell at him like that all eh could have said was stay of the set when were rolling etc

  234. Drad Says:

    Wow… Christian Bale is a prick; people make mistakes. But hell, most actors are pricks.

  235. customcartoons Says:

    “NO! Let’s F—ING DO IT AGAIN!”

    Gawd, can you imagine trying to get back into character after THAT??

    That’s what makes Christian the professional, and Nameless Dude the amateur.

  236. whatsit Says:

    Dude, if the guy was ruining shots, that’s film time you can never get back. That’s a really amateur thing to do.

  237. Friends... Says:

    Apparently lighting guy is friends with sound guy…and had this audio leaked. :)

  238. Jack H Says:

    Ever seen amrican pshyco? ……

  239. melissa Says:

    well they could have already re-shot by the time he took to curse the guy out that long! sounds like someone needs a nice strong pill of some sort…. pompous celebs!

  240. James Says:

    Douchbags.

    I don’t care how hard it is… it’s like you guys didn’t even hear him.

    He sounded like a 3 year old on crack. That’s just not cool and I’m sure very damaging to his reputation. What a child.

  241. Scott Says:

    Christian Bale is acting like an asshole (in this audio). As if he’s better than others. Throwing a tantrum like that is outrageous for people over the age of 11.

  242. Scott Says:

    hahahaha, true.

  243. Scott Says:

    so gustave, you think CB has the right to be a royal dick all he wants just because he can act well?

  244. Scott Says:

    and we can tell how versed you are in equality. The guy shouldnt be a dick even if he were clearly the best actor in world. I’d think that would be more of a reason for him not to be actually with all the people looking to him as a leader.

  245. Scott Says:

    Chea, go henning.

  246. Scott Says:

    true dat, true dat

  247. Scott Says:

    yeeeeaaaah henning!

  248. Pamela Says:

    K, i’ve been an extra in a lot of movies and i’ve met a few actors (megan fox, brooke shields etc..). They’re under tons of stress memorizing lines, getting into character; not to mention the pressure for time and countless shots, so it’s totally understandable that CB would snap like that.

  249. mollie Says:

    straight up

  250. John Says:

    What movie was being filmed when he flipped out? and if you know what scene was it?

  251. ATO Says:

    Wow that was a long rant! It is true that some actors, especially method actors like Christian Bale, need all their surroundings to be absolutely perfect when they are acting, otherwise it messes up their concentration. It involves bringing up a lot of memories of situations in the past, knowing how to position your body, living the role (and all while trying to remember your lines). Method acting is tough, and when you’re in full flow, getting interrupted can be kind of annoying.

    Although I still feel sorry for the ‘lights’ man cos he sounded really humble and apologetic. I mean, Christian Bale even said he’s a nice guy.

  252. ATO Says:

    LOL it’s his mixture of an English, Welsh & American accent. It’s pretty funny. Living in the States for a while has really changed his accent.

  253. Anna Says:

    I think it shows how much of a prick he is and I’ve lost all respect for him no matter how much he may try to make up for it. We all know his true character and I didn’t like what I saw…err umm heard. He’s weak in my eyes now. Seems like most actors are pretty much classless if you saw the real person and not just what is on screen. This is why I’ve never been one of those women who swoon over them.

  254. Shed Says:

    It doesn’t matter what this guy did, no one deserves to be spoken to like that.

    Bale will always remind me of Naomi Campbell now. What a joke.

  255. Geehae Says:

    Hahahahahahaa. I love Christian Bale. Oh lordy, this is so ridiculous and so over the top. WHAT DON’T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?

  256. KeaR Says:

    The last time I was in a Cinema to watch a movie, I saw a T4-Trailer. That just reminded me of this…

    Shed is right: it doesn’t matter what the guy did, no one deserves to be chewed out like that. Bale totally lost it and can’t understand the guy. The key word is PATIENCE with the people.

    I also lost most of my respect for him. But sadly, most actors are great on stage, but in real life they’re pricks

  257. celia Says:

    everyone has their bad days!

  258. basmah Says:

    this is absolutely freakin hilarious XD i wanna high-five christian bale for this .xXx.

  259. Robert Says:

    Bad day? You’re talking about a man that has physically assaulted his own mother and sister – this guy deserves to be stepped on and crushed by everyone in society.

  260. Morgana Says:

    Some of the greatest artists are mmmm… psychos. But that tape has a class of its on. Very educational. I had no idea that Bale was such a diva! I feel sorry for the guys working with him.

  261. Dave Says:

    You’d think he was the director, the way he went on in the clip. I look forward to this getting into all the blooper shows over the next few years – such uncontrolled tantrums really do need to be shown up for their ‘man behaves like child’ comedy content.

    What an A-Hole. The DP is at the top of the Hierarchy with the Director, and hes in charge of the camera and crews. Actors are not in charge, they are just paid to do a job, no matter how many takes are needed.
    Sure, he probably shouldn’t have been moving around and making adjustments while a scene was being shot, and I don’t even understand why he would need to check the lighting unless maybe it was a quick rehearsal…but that was uncalled for in Bale’s part. As a film student and future DP/Director I have lost some respect for him.
    However, Without knowing the exact circumstances and other possible events that could have led to this outburst I cannot make a 100% accurate interpretation.
