Christian Bale Now Regrets Acting Like A Psychotically Explosive Twit

Digg this!   

The pressures of being a celebrity are enormous—we understand that. Take Christian Bale for instance.

How can any thespian be expected to respond in a reasonable way when faced with the choking, all-consuming pressure that comes from having to play characters that either dress up as bats or battle evil futuristic robots?

Christ, it’s pressure like that that makes a guy want to:

a) wear a diving bell

b) allegedly assault his own mother, or

c) go absolutely apeshit over a DP’s unacceptable, um, walking.

That’s why, having now heard the infamous rant in which Bale reamed out Terminator Salvation’s Director of Photography Shane Hurlbut for walking into the shot, we all need to first pause and reflect on the truly horrible conditions that Christian Bale has to suffer through every stinking day of his life. That poor, poor bastard.

That understood, we do admit that the on-set blow up aimed at Hurlbut was indeed regrettable, and now it seems Christian Bale thinks so too. Taking to the airwaves on L.A.’s KROQ on Feb. 7, Bale apologised for his behaviour:

“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 anyone else. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I’m a lucky SOB. I never forget that and that is why I put so much into what I do I was out of order beyond belief. I was way out of order. I acted like a punk. I regret that. And there is nobody that has heard that tape that is hit harder by it than me.”

Christian Bale, you complete us.
