Audio: Christian Bale Screams at "Terminator Salvation" Crew Member

We all heard about Christian Bale allegedly pushing his mother before a premiere of "The Dark Knight." That seemed a bit strange, but now we have a look into what it's like to be around him. Apparently, there are just a few basic rules to follow; Don't get in his way and don't talk back to him. It's not complicated. But if for some reason you were to break one of those rules, Bale will be forced to "kick your ass."

Thanks to some TMZ spies, we now know that Bale was on the set of "Terminator Salvation" last Friday at the Kirtland Air Force base in New Mexico. During a scene, director of cinematography Shane Hurlbut somehow got in the way and ended up messing up a shot.

At this point, Bale went nuts, screaming at Hurlbut and threatening to beat him senseless. He even got McG involved, who was doing his best to stay clear of the whole thing.

The sceamfest played out in front of several hundred people, including Military Police, who described it as "intense."

Man this is gonna ruin his rep. BIG TIME

[weasel691]

Let's assume the dp was wrong. Let's assume it was the 12th take. Let's give Bale ALL the benefit of any doubts. Then when we have done all that, lets call him what he is--a complete asshole, an infant who needs to be taken outside and beaten to a pulp. No reason for any human being to treat another that way. He can have the guy fired, or lose his temper for 20 seconds like we all have, but these are the ramblings of a psychopath. Man needs serious, serious help.

He can yell all day and night. I don't give a shit. He played a perfect Bateman.

[mmmloveydovey]

for some reason this reminds me of my two-year old son at his first spaghetti din din.

[brooks718]

he [bale] should have been upset with his performance in terminator salvation....in fact he should have kicked his own arse for signing on to do the lame as terminator reboot.

[hexrei]

@brcihak his rep seems to have survived. what he said was pretty diva-ish but at the same time, it sounds like there were real issues on that set. we all get fed up and lose it sometimes.

[ThaJokerProductions]

If he WAS BLACK THE RACISTS WOULD BE ON THIS VIDEO ASAP!!!!

[diablo4dude]

@Stealthify57 this is true, You can actually see a person in a very small clip of this movie, its a crew member blowing dust around in the very far left. This may have been an ongoing problem. but this just not justify hi reaction.

[BiGRiCeD]

If only we got actual video footage of this as a featurette on the Terminator Salvation bonus features.

[KCrazyChick09]

sooo... that's the leader of the resistence, huh?

[Stealthify57]

Oh come on people, we've all had days like this. And who knows, maybe this guy had done different mistakes and Christian here just got fed up. Seriously, who walks in on the scene while the camera is rolling? Film is not cheap.

[C0leman]

lol "You're a nice guy". I think we get bale's point within about 20 seconds, why didn't he just stop?!
