You wouldn't want to get Christian Bale mad. The Batman star was filming on the set of his new movie Terminator Salvation when the Director of Photography, Shane Hurlbut kept walking around in the middle of a scene. Bale then went berzerk and launched an abusive tirade towards the poor DP. Listen to it (above) and you can also download the mp3 here.
Telegraph has a full transcript of his rant. Here's part of it (censored):
Christian Bale: Am I going to walk around and rip your ------- lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the ---- are you walking right through? Ah-da-da-dah, like this in the background. What the ---- is it with you? What don't you ------- understand? You got any ------- idea about, hey, it's ------- distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce in the middle of the ------- scene? Give me a ------- answer! What don't you get about it?Wow! Bale can really blow his top alright. Never disturb an actor while he is shooting a scene especially when his name is Christian Bale. Remember that, all you aspiring DPs. Oh well, at least one person sees the lighter side of it. Music composer and producer RevoLucian thinks that Bale's crazy rant is worthy enough to be put into a song. Presenting his Christian Bale Remix, Bale Out!
Shane Hurlbut: I was looking at the light.
Bale: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was ------- good, because it's useless now, isn't it?
Surprisingly, it's pretty good. I bet it will climb up the dance charts in no time. Dance everyone, dance! Download the Bale Out mp3 here.
Update: Christian Bale admits he took it too far. He says, "I am embarrassed by it. I regret it. I ask everybody to sit down and ask themselves if they have ever had a bad day and lost their temper and really regretted it immensely."

Bale a asshole And I will not go to any of his movies again.
Bale's rant took place a few days after his arrest in London for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister. This guy clearly has an anger problem.
Shame about that. He is a good actor though.
Bale Out rocks man! Downloading it.
would love to see a video when he went berserk.
all those prima dona hollywood actors... they have no respect for their directors and film crew.
come on. everybody has a bad day.
bale needs to see an anger management therapist!!!
the boy has too much anger and hatred in him. the dark side he will join.
You can be a professional and a dedicated actor but that's not an excuse for screwing another one on set like that for spoiling your scene.
Something interesting to note about our dear Christian Bale:
Harrison Cheung, who worked for Bale for many years as an assistant, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper that the actor had a hair-trigger temper for as long as he knew him and that his family catered to him.
"Everything was about keeping Christian happy because he was the meal ticket," Cheung said. "If something wasn't just so, Christian would just erupt. He would yell until he was red in the face. It was very intimidating."
fuck bale!

I guess he was also having a bad day when he was assaulting his mother and sister.
the director McG is a pussy. he should have just told Bale to shut the fuck up and redo the scene but no. why? because Bale is a big name star. everyone is afraid of him.
Christian Bale is perhaps one of the best actors currently but as a person I will probably fuck him off if I see him on the street.
he sees himself in the future as being an arse with plenty of money. oh wait a minute :P he's already an arse even when he wasn't famous. only that people weren't interested.
