Have you heard about the Christian Bale rant on the set of his movie “Terminator Salvation”? Better yet, have you actually heard the recording? Bale’s hissy fit has taken the internet and news agencies by storm. Everyone is playing it, everyone is remixing it, everyone has an opinion about it.
Bale called into the KROQ Kevin & Bean show in Los Angeles this morning and apologized for his behavior.
He says, “It’s been a miserable week for me. I know I have a pottymouth, everybody knows that now. I have no confusion whatsoever. I was out of order beyond belief, I was way out of order. I acted like a punk, I regret that and there is nobody that has heard that tape that has been hit harder by it [than me]. I make no excuses for it, it is inexcusable and I hope that is absolutely clear.”
“One thing that has really disturbed me throughout this is I’m not familiar or comfortable with this notion of being a movie star. I’m an actor and I don’t quite know how to handle [the movie star thing]. The thing that disturbs me so much is that I’ve heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think I’m better than anybody else. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I’m a lucky SOB. I never forget that and that is why I put so much into what I do and I care so much about it . Sometimes that enthusiasm just goes awry.”
“I am embarrassed by it and I regret it. And I ask everybody to sit down and ask themselves, ‘Have they ever had a bad day and have they ever lost their temper and really regretted it immensely?’”
Have I ever lost my temper? Um, no, I am perfect thank you very much. Okay, okay, my kids may say otherwise. Sure, we’ve all lost our temper and let me just say…I am glad none of my temper tantrums are on tape! Although, I can guarantee you, mine wouldn’t be near as intense or entertaining as the Christian Bale one.
