Bale Apologizes -- "I Acted Like a Punk"

Posted Feb 6th 2009 12:11PM by TMZ Staff

Christian Bale just finished publicly begging for forgiveness for that F-bomb filled, on-set explosion, saying he took it "way too far" and he only did it because he "cares too much" about the movie.

Bale called in to to L.A.'s "Kevin & Bean" morning radio show on KROQ and spilled his guts on the incident apologizing like crazy and explaining how things were never going to get violent with the guy he verbally attacked because the dude is a huge "ex friggin' football player ... not little orphan Annie!"

Oh, and he really wants you to see his next movie.

1. Personally, I think except for the F bombs, he was right anyway. That PD totally ruined his scene - more than once and then felt zero remorse. I'd yell at him too. But, that's just me.

8. He was THE TALENT and as such felt he could throw his power around by getting the "little guy" fired. There would be no apology, no nothing, if this had not be leaked. Loser.

9. I don't think that a person's size, gender, or previous profession should affect how you treat them. Bale is a total douche and I just feel sorry for all the hardworking crew members who have to deal with spoiled brats like this on a daily basis. I will definitely be Torrenting T4 after this incident.

10. He only apologized because the tape came out. The guy is whacko. Not gonna watch your movies, fool.

11. He sounded sincere and we all have those days where we want to go off and we don't, The public does not have mircophones around them all the time and when he upset he was not thinking this was being recorded. He also said give Micheal Phelps a break too.

12. Publicity stunt for the movie anyone?

13. He had a meltdown on the job. Big deal. Leave the guy alone.

I work in an office and have had confrontations with fellow employees that have almost come to blows.

We're all only human.

14. Bale is a weirdo. He only apologized because the tape came out. He's not sincere. Screw this freak.

15. He's Christian FRICKEN Bale. What's the problem? LOL, I heard the interview, like K&B said, we all have bad moments, he's human and not perfect. I'm just glad my life isn't recorded on tape...

I did think he was going to tell Ralph to "ST_U, I am apologizing here.. stop talking over me!" during the phone interview. =)
