Celebrity Justice
Bale Went Ballistic

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.

Click to listen!

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.Christian Bale: Launch Photos

181. I have been on many sets and never seen anyone act this childlike. Wow. Bale, I would love for you to threaten me someday on set. What beating up your mom & sister wasn't enough? Your a prick.

183. He's not one of my favorites anymore. He is a complete jerk and that is saying it nice.Some of these actors are so full of themselves and he is for sure.He has showed his temper before.At the Award Shows,he always looks angry.

185. To all you "haters" of Chistian Bale and the all mighty glorious ones who will never ever see another one of his movies: he is a man, just a man. Human being. You act as though he is some type of God. You also act as though you are perfect. Just because he is an actor doesn't mean he is without faults. Now, I think it is ironic that this video clip just so happens to come out just now, right in the peak of his career, when things are going really well for him, sounds like someone is trying to bash him for whatever reason. True, I agree it wasn't professional of him, but if this was the director of photography who ruined the shot, it wasn't professional of him either. So, with that said, if you haters don't want to go to his movies....don't go. Whoever decided to put this audio tape out is out to ruin his name, just like the people on this blog who are looking for anything to say bad about him. I agree he shouldn't have done it, he lost his temper, but we all have done things we shouldn't have done. Just because he is an actor doesn't mean he is less of a human. Get over it.

186. wow... he needs to smoke some weed and relax. i can't believe he actually wanted to fight the guy for an honest mistake. if i was bale i would have started laughing with the guy instead of biting his head off.

189. People seem to want to jump on the "star with inflated ego" train of thought here, but what he is complaining about and the arguement he makes while complaining about it is actually pretty reasonable. The threat of physical violence isn't acceptable, and yeah he is crossing a line there, but the other 90% of his ranting is justifiable. He's not yelling at some underling intern who he is beating up for something that isn't within that persons control or pay scale, he's upset with the DP being careless and repeatedly walking into scenes. I totally agree he should take an apology better, and certainly threatening to assault the guy is wrong, but let's not overstate what was wrong here just so we can feel better about ourselves knocking a celeb down a notch.

190. He swhould stick to the coke than comes in cans, and the studio undoubtedly has to deal with the union now...can be easier to dump a star than a union employee. Maybe it should be.

191. Congrats, you poncy little diva wannabe. If you wanna talk about ruining the illusion, I will never be able to see him in another movie without thinking about what an emotionally retarded snot-nosed brat he is. He'll be totally believable in any role that requires yet another rabid sociopath. In a multi-layered performance that requires depth? A pitbull will be more believable. Take all that money ,get some freakin meds, look to some real professional actors and pull your overgrown head out of your ass. And BTW: with Heath Ledger's performance in the Dark Knight, a mannequin could have played Bruce Wayne and it would have been a hit. You can dish it out, but can you handle the truth? Lightweight...

192. sounds like he's on the same track as britney spears maybe he needs a 5150 hold too, lol. After hearing that though I'd say his mom and sister were probably telling the truth when they said he attacked them. What a friggin loser

193. As if he's the only actor who has ever exploded on set. Still sexy & gorgeous. Can't wait to see him as John Connor.

194. Frankly I can't blame him for reacting the way he did. If someone behaved that unprofessionally, I would probably do the same. Bales actions were justified as far as I'm concerned.

195. Christian, you're making another TERMINATOR movie...it'll probably be crap anyway! Those movies aren't art! Give me a break! What a WANKER!!
