Just another reason i hate actors.

any worse then Tiger Woods blowing a gasket at someone who snaps a photo mid backswing? Yeah he goes on about it for awhile, really I'm rather indifferent to it though, everyone gets pissed off once in awhile.

Sounds like the audio track from an episode of Hell's Kitchen.

you think that's normal work behavior? If some prima-donna was throwing a hissy fit like that in front of me, I'd slap him.

Man... I love Christian Bale as an actor, but that's just embarrassing.

messing around with his work? the guy seemed to walk onto a set to check the lights...ie, doing his job. What a huge no-no!

The reaction is absolutely unwarranted. bale is acting like big frickin baby and needs to learn some perspective.

If I can like John Lennon's work even though he was the biggest dick in his personal life, I can like Christian Bale, though he isn't making it easy.

I_am_Beast · 02-03-2009, 09:21 AM

if the guy is blowing scene's damn right the lights guy should be fired, i don't see anything wrong with what Bale did....

HotHotHeat · 02-03-2009, 09:23 AM

Here I thought we were about to have another religious debate. Actors are bored...They work 2 months out of the year, this is just them keeping busy.

Did you even listen to the whole clip you posted? Quite obviously Bale believes that his guy ISN"T doing his job properly. Or is set-wanderer a job we just don't see listed in the credits. Further more this wasnt even the first time this guy was doing it.

Dunno maybe I am weird, but when people do stupid things repeatedly, I think people have the right to be pissed off at them. Yeah this was a bit over the top, but we also can't hear the other half of this conversation now can we??

WTF is wrong with some of you people. LEAVE BATMAN ALONE!

SportsJunky · 02-03-2009, 09:35 AM

Christian Bale better be careful or he is going to be the next Val Kilmer.

TheDragon · 02-03-2009, 09:37 AM

He's not angry. He's Welsh.

The exact point of contention is the scale of his meltdown. It's fine to disagree and be angry, but to go on a 5 minute rant? That's just lame, and indicative of a bunch of prima donna actors who take themselves and their "art" way too seriously.

Exactly, you're only hearing Bale's point of view.

Haha, you'd "snap?" Well, the joke's on you.

longsuffering · 02-03-2009, 09:57 AM

If that kind of meltdown occurred at YVR, Mr. Bale would likely find himself tasered.

Well if you listen to the whole thing, you can hear about halfway thru that Bale wants to just move on with the scene but the professional Wanderer (as you claim that is his job) continues to argue with him. You can hear him say something to the effect of I wasnt trashing your scene after Bale makes a comment about him not going around trashing the lights. Which makes Bale lose it again. I dont know about you but if I am low level set guy #4 I apoligize to Bale and get the fata out of there, I dont stand there arguing. Thats a fight you cant win.
