Christian Bale is an (American) Psycho
Actors can be assholes. That’s a given. They think because they are adored by Joe Public that normal rules don’t apply. They also think that pretending to be someone else and having it filmed is important work. It’s not. It’s just entertainment. Particularly when compared with the work I do, saving the world from Russian ultra nationalists via the medium of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
There are plenty of examples of diva behavior, temper tantrums and unbelievable arrogance, but perhaps the best I have EVER heard is Christian Bale going off the deep end on the set of Terminator 4.
This counts as"one for the ladies"
Our great buddies at TMZ describe the incident:
During a scene, Shane Hurlbut (seriously), director of cinematography, screwed up a shot — at least in Christian’s mind. We’re told Bale went wild, screaming “I will kick your ass” along with some other choice remarks. Several hundred people — including Military Police — heard the outburst, which was described as “intense.”
