Bale Went Ballistic
Posted Feb 2nd 2009 2:58PM by TMZ Staff
WARNING: THIS AUDIO CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
You may remember that Christian Bale went nuts on the set of "Terminator Salvation," a few months back, threatening to stop production and beat some serious ass.
The incident was audiotaped, and it's amazing. It happened on the set, after a director of photography accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set. Bale lost it, screaming, yelling and threatening to quit if the bosses didn't fire the dude.
Film execs sent the tape to the insurance company that insured the film in case Bale bailed.

I wish that lighting guy would have knocked the **** out that prima donna.
Note to Christian: make sure you don't run out of coke again before shooting.
This is upsetting because I really enjoy his work as an actor.
reg, this is hardly the place for propositions. jeez.
It was really quite hilarious.
I love when that welsh accent slips in. UGH it makes me moist.
ah. jag2, buns up kneelin'.
After he finished screaming at this guy, did he start "Rose's Turn" all over again?
At this point, sure. papa, I propositioned you in that thread talking about the BWW prom. Check it out.

I wonder, was he still in character? I couldn't detect a hint of his natural English accent.
did who turn over, reg? geez, get yer mind outta the gutter, mister. there are kids on this baord.
jag2, i am bound by several statutes and at least three restraining orders from going any where near the word prom when there are any girls even within five years of 18 nearby.
geez, i know he's a bit of a loon, clever, but the wbc? really? you take no prisoners, do ya?
Clever, you read my mind. I was actually going to post that maybe he should go take a hit with Phelps and calm the hell down.
Papa...did you post in the wrong thread?! or did the site do that crazy thing of putting your post in the wrong thread?

He's actually Welsh, and you could hear the accent. it was there.

"After he finished screaming at this guy, did he start "Rose's Turn" all over again?"
I. Love. You.
Fred and Shirley love Mary Jane.
Well as you know, very talented people are very sensitive to the environments they work in. Christine was merely trying to Lupown the lighting guy.
I mean, if they had the audio-recording of when Patty was on the phone with Bank of America, I would love to hear that drama.
That's disgusting. I wish the director wouldn't have coddled him and let him get away with that. They should have said yeah you're off my set until you can get control of yourself. They should have stuck up for their crew, even if the guy did make a mistake. Does he do this to his co-stars if they flub a line? Wow...very disappointing. I don't care how much talent he has, that's never necessary. Maybe if he gets canned from a job he'd think about it. Probably not, because it seems like he's too egotistical and obviously that would cost the studio a ton of money...but damn that's ridiculous.
