I love Christian Bale. I have been really excited about his new film "Terminator 4/Salvation" which I talked about it here .
But the other night, he broke my heart. Seriously, my heart is broken. I was watching TMZ with JT and we heard this tape which Christian Bale totally went nuts on this guy on the T4 set. Apparently, it happened in July last year when the photgraphy director walked in on the set for the "second time".
I know the actors and the crew spend hours, days, weeks and months shooting film. Their stress level must be extreme. I also know that Christian Bale was intensely into this role, John Connor. It is one of the most anticipated roles in the movie history (okay maybe I'm exaggrating?) And you know, I'm sure Christian Bale was having one of those days where....well, it's hard for me to back him up on this one, but he was having a very bad day!!! Very bad day... I was in total shock when I heard the tape. Speechless...
Please proceed with caution because he's very angry and ugly!!! I have to wash his mouth with soap!!!
****For his defense, the producer of T4 said CB's tantrum was no biggie.
"turns out Christian Bale's expletive-filled, volcanic explosion on the set of "Terminator Salvation" was a "non-event"... according to a guy who wasn't the brunt of Bale's tirade.
Bruce Franklin -- assistant director and associate producer on the film -- told us "Christian is a method actor and was completely immersed in his scene ... his reaction was from the heat of the moment."
The target of Bale's attack -- a director of photography named Shane Hurlbut -- was not fired from the movie, despite Christian's threat that if Shane screwed up one more time, he should be kicked to the curb.
Franklin said Bale was under a lot of pressure because of his crazy "Dark Knight" promotion schedule, and that the crew -- Hurlbut included -- ended up shooting for another seven hours. *****
So, knowing the producer defended him, I think I can sleep good tonight. I still love him. He is gorgeous. He just needs to take some chill pill. Don't hate him everyone, even it's kind of hard to like him now. If you want to see new trailer for this movie, click here. It's pretty awesome and I can't wait (although I would have loved to see Arnold in the movie.)
Also, I want to talk about another stupid man. Micheal Phelps.
Michael, are you f*in kidding me? Okay, you are young and all, and everybody goes through those time where wanting to have good time. I don't pretend to be a saint - I've made some stupid choices before as well. But Michael Phelps, you're an Olympian. Not just an Olympian, you won 8 gold medals last summer game. Many kids look up to you. I don't tell you not to have fun. You have all the right to have good time because we all deserve it. But don't smoke bong in front of other party goers when you know someone's clicking you away!! I hope you didn't think that he/she wasn't going to sell you on tabloids, did you? If you talk about being a good role model, then you needed to be more careful. I hope your endorsement won't disappear..
So, everyone, what did you think of the two men??

Christian Bale's rant was insane ...someone made a really awesome remix of it though ...which was funny. I hope it doesn't lose him his status as a great actor.
As for "The Swimmer" ...yeah, he should have known someone was gonna take a picture of that and waited til he got home.
Bale: I don't really see an exucuse for bale o blow up like that, that's insane.
phelps: I know right , fi you are gonna do something don't do it where your picture can be take, what a dumbass
I was totally disappointed in Michael Phelps! I know people do things like this but when you are a public figure you need to keep those things PRIVATE!
Bale is insane. An awesome actor but insane.
Phelps is an idiot at some level. Given his life so far though he probably feels like he is lacking in everyday life experiences because all he's done is swim. I had a friend who went off the deep end for awhile once she quit competeing. It was like she had to redefine herself.
michael phelps is a kid...if he wants to smoke pot, that's fine. as for christian though, i'm with you. i was really disgusted by his reaction and how he treats those around him.
Maegan: Oh yeah! I saw the remix on youtube, too! It was funny. I guess this kind of stuff happens all the time while making films, but I was very sad hearing him losing himself like that. Beep, beep and beep! And MP - he should've been more careful - he should have smoked in the bathroom! lol
Franco: I just didn't get it - I know he's good guy (never met him, bt), but his rant was like..man, you lost bunch of fans and respect from other people... Sad.. MP didn't think at all what he was doing. Stupid.
Carrin: Me too! It's not fair to say he can't have fun, but if he is the person that he says he is, then he should really be careful. That's what it is to be in a spotlight.
BakerGirl: LOL. Insane, huh? Love how you said it. In regards to MP - I know that many people who dedicated themselves to sports during young age, they do feel that they lost something fun, and I think he's entitled to have fun. But he can't smoke in front of camera where people can sell him just like it did.
Emily: Hello. I think MP has all the right to have fun that including smoking pot. But if he gets millon $$$ to have a clean image, he should have at least been careful because it did haunt him down in the end. Bale was just sad sad thing - I'm sure he's like, "Man, was I that bad???"
This just shows that celebrities are no better than normal people and to hold up on a pedistal is ridiculous. They can act, dance, or swim, or whatever, but they are always human and humans act on impulse and the only reason these are in the limelight is because we hold them there. We all know people who go off on others, or who at one time or another smoked dope, maybe even we did, younger yes, but still, we wouldn't be making the news for it. They chose the life and so we all get to see the drama and judge. Thats the way it seems to work. Terrible I know.
I feel like Christian's rant is a little overblown. I mean, at least he wasn't ranting over his latte not having enough foam or something. I felt like he had a legitimate gripe, he just didn't react very well.
As far as Phelps goes, yeah he's supposed to be a role model, but we can't all forget that he is still a kid. No excuses, but I think we should all just remember that.
well, all I can say is everybody has bad days even big kahoonas actors.. I would not hang with someone who spoke to me like that though, but I am sure all these actors throw tantrums like lil'kids once and a while, but the bad is that they get away with it...
Dang! Christian Bale went psycho! I can't believe how long he went on for, wow!
I think both lads are silly. Christian for taking it waaaay too far (I think it's funny how at the end he told the guy it was over for them professionally, when clearly Christian was being very unprofessional himself), and Michael for not thinking about how he is such a public figure, and that anything he does wrong in public is sure to be let out!
i think we all make mistakes so michael phelps is entitled to make a few but he seems to forget he is a public figure with million dollar endorsements. i am sure he won't be caught again.
When I heard the tape all I kept thinking was how weird it was to hear his accent. In most of his films he has an american accent so hearing his british accent threw me off a bit.
Too we all have bad days and don't always act appropriate but the the difference is no one tapes us and puts it on tv. Which really makes me glad I am not an actor.
I say let Michale Phelps have fun. He needs his down time like everyone else.
Personally, I'm more offended by Michael Phelps than Christian Bale. Bale did freak out but he's still a professional. Michael Phelps was just foolish and careless. He should have known better.
Oh For The Love Of God:
Bale can add one more thing on his resume
"Dead Horse Flogger"
His rant went on longer than Gone With The Wind.
pedidWow, I don't really think too much of either of these guys after that. They must both be under alot of pressure.. and both gave in to it. Hope they learn from these published mistakes!

Christian Bale I hope has a very viable excuse for his horrible behavior. But, who know he might be under some sort of huge amount of stress and like all normal people just popped...
As for Phelps...well, weren't we all young and restless?????
I understand MP, smoking pot is NOT the problem I have with him, pot is cool, but MP has made a sub-career out being the all good amrican kid, and to find out he's a fake breaks the illusion, just makes me think he might not deserve all the $$ he's getting, if you are gonna be a role model at least play the part.
Didn't Bale get in trouble after the Dark Knight as well. Something about an argument with his mom and sister?
And yes, Phelps - what an idiot to risk his reputation! Agh and I heard he had a DUI as well...
Penz: You're right about everything you said!
MJ: I believe that Christian Bale got caught in the very bad day - he could have reacted better, like you said. But I know how stress those shootings can be.. MP's one of the major sponsor Kellog's just dropped him.
Lalapoo: Exactly! I wouldn't be able to show up to the set if an actor yells at me like that - but everybody goes through rough day, right?
Dionne: Yep, I thought he'd stop after two minutes into it and then started again:( I still love him though.. About MP - I don't care if he smokes, but he should have been more careful - now he can't swim tornaments for six months and Kellog's dropped him, too.
Savvy: Everybody makes mistakes is true - but MP already got DUI and told everybody that he wouldn't make the same kind of mistakes.. Oh well...
LBluca: Yeah, there are ton of actors who clearly speak English with American accent and when I hear them talk, I'm like..."oh yeah, he/she is from England/Australia/Ireland, etc" - so interesting.
Baujb: Yeah, I agree with you. I was offended because of his carelessness. People say he's just a kid and it's true, but then why does he say he's a clean sportman, then does that kind of thin in front of ton of people? I don't care if he smokes, but so careless.
Rene: Yes indeed, it was really long ranting - you cracked me up, girl.
Tabitha: It proves that they are both human - it's just sad that it doesn't end there when you are both famous and a public figure. I hope they learn it too...
vsm/whiring: Yes, I've done crazy things too when I was younger - wait, I am still young! LOL. Christian is going to have a tough time explaining to himself and to the world.. :(
Franco: My point exactly! People may think I'm saying pot is bad - I could care less if he smokes. He gets paid to be a sportsman. If he earns it, then he need to stick with it.
Laura: Yes, Maam, Christian Bale had some incident with his mother during the Bat Man promotion - around the same time this raning happened. MP - did have DUI and said that he wouldn't make the same mistakes again. Well, guess what!? You do follow these type of stories, don't you:)
Christian Bale-Def giving him a break on this one. I think we've all felt like that at work. And, he's hot. HA.
Mikeypoo-He's just a wee kid, with lots of money but is still just young and dumb. And HOT-uh oh am I going to jail.
The Christian Bale remix is sooo out of control..it's now on my ipod, I'm going to use it as inspiration at the gym! xoxoxox
never liked Christian Bale anyway, he's a good actor but there's something about him that is just quite dark, to me anyway, if i met him in real life i'd be scared of him so if the tape was real, i'm not surpised!
being young is not an excuse, he's got loads of money to do it in a private house/party/jet whatever, although i'm a little biased as i'm not american, so phelps was never a hero
