The audio is of Christian Bale on the set of Terminator: Salvation ranting at one the crew members who entered his sight line while taking down some of the lighting.

All I got to say is....... I will never step into Christian Bale's eyesight :wink:

I heard this a while back... Really bothers me considering the fact that I'm a big Bale fan. Seems like a jerk.

"Ranting" does not begin to describe this POS treats another human being who obviously was sincerely trying to apologize...

Meh, part of the territory.

I can't even begin to imagine what the likes of DeNiro, Pachino, Nicholson, Streisand etc have said to grips and other crew members over the years

That doesn't even begin to talk about directors

To be fair to Bale, this did happen shortly after his altercation with his mother and sister at The Dark Knight premiere in London and according to Assistant Director Bruce Franklin (the "Bruce" he's talking to in the audio) he was nothing but professional the rest of the time.

meh..we all have bad days.

The guy the 'rant' is directed at...walked in front of Bale's sightline during a scene. A big 'no-no' in the film world.

I have seen several 'blow-ups' amongst employees over several years that rival that.


/not saying it's right/

Those people don't know how to act, either. I'm not saying Bale is the only person in the world who is an a-hole, I am saying that most of us aren't.

So I could see 20-30 seconds of hysterics maybe, but not that...

I can't imagine how much of a jerk he was on the set of Newsies.

You gave them the 'respect your co-worker, and bring any problems to me' speech, then smacked them upside the head with a 2x4, right? That's what I do.
