He does that himself. He's the most selective guy in Hollywood when it comes to roles. He acts because he likes it, not because he wants to be famous. In my opinion, he's the best actor around today.

Makes sense. Quality over quantity

Yea, Bobby De Niro definitely handed over the mantle of best screen actor alive to DDL when he started doing more and more shitty films...imo

They say the tirade actually happened last July, in the same month that the incident with his mother and sister went down...here are the alleged details surrounding that one...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1038185/Christian-Bale-flew-handle-family-begged-100k.html

Batman star Christian Bale argued with his sister after she asked him for £100,000 to help raise her children, it was alleged.

The 34-year-old Batman star is reported to have snubbed the plea and allegedly 'pushed and shoved' Sharon and his mother Jenny, 61, during a row in his suite at the Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night.

A source told The Sun: 'Christian is a very wealthy man and was asked to help his sister out financially.
'He was asked to loan her £100,000 but he refused and it caused an almighty row.'

Jenny Bale is also said to have made highly disparaging comments about the star's glamorous wife of eight years, Sibi, 38, a former make-up artist and model.


Last night, Bale attended the Spanish premiere of The Dark Knight in Barcelona and told reporters: 'It's a deeply personal matter.'

'I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter.'

The astonishing family feud is said to have happened on Sunday evening in Bale's £6,000-a-night suite at the Dorchester hotel in central London.

The women, who live relatively modest lifestyles in Dorset, were in capital to attend the following day's premiere of the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight.
However, the family group started to argue about money.

A friend told the Daily Mail said: 'Things got out of control and he now says he wishes he just left the room.  Normally Christian would just call a friend and go out to a pub to cool off. 

'But he was literally trapped into this confrontation with his mother and sister because there was an army of paparazzi and fans outside.'

Although police were informed about Sunday's incident, they decided to wait until they had spoken to the alleged victims before questioning Bale.

Jenny and Sharon Bale gave their statements to police on Monday and on Tuesday

Bale spent nearly five hours at Belgravia police station in central London. 

Though Jenny Bale - who formerly worked as a circus clown and now is a reflexologist - has previously spoken of her pride in her son, the two do not appear to be especially close.
Christian Bale's parents split up when he was 13.  Four years later, while his mother Jenny stayed in Bournemouth, Christian followed his father David to live in America.

In stark contrast to Bale's multimillionaire Hollywood lifestyle, Jenny Bale lives in a modest £275,000, detached house in Southbourne, Dorset.  She drives a VW Beetle decorated with angelwing motifs.

She has worked a dancer, a sword-eater's assistant and has played the Queen of Hearts at an Alice in Wonderland children's theme park.


She brought up Christian and his two sisters Louise and Sharon among a menagerie of family pets, including 12 cats, six dogs, two ponies, 24 guinea pigs, two rabbits and several stick insects.

Christian Bale married Sandra 'Sibi' Blazic, 38, in 2000 after the couple met when she was working as a personal assistant to the actress Winona Ryder on the film Little Women.  They have a three-year-old daughter.

Yesterday one source close to Christian Bale revealed that the couple had recently been experiencing marital problems.

The actor is also said to have been in a fragile state of mind following the death of his friend Heath Ledger, who also stars in The Dark Knight film, from a drugs overdose. 

Recently he also complained that he had been depressed and suffering from insomnia.

Yesterday neither Jenny nor Sharon Bale - who lives very near her mother in a £240,000 semi-detached home - were willing to comment.

If he tried to speak to speak like me to that that clip would have been 10seconds long as i would have knocked him out

No offense but Christian Bale AKA Pat Bateman would have smacked the yellow off your teeth.

Stereotypical Hollywood tool. Overrated, too. Great in American Psycho and The Machinist, but the Dirty Harry Batman voice is just silly.

Also, Harsh Times - anyone see this turd? PAINFULLY bad.

He's brilliant. Shows what a natural actor he is as he appears just like a character in his movies right there.

This is from AICN: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/39984


Quote
Why AICN Doesn't Post Links To Stories Like This Christian Bale thing that's everywhere!

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm getting slammed with assloads of people angry at me for not posting the Bale explosion from the set of McG's TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Well, first off - there's a real simple reason. It isn't news. And it certainly isn't cool news. It is a moment in a man's life taken completely out of context and most likely leaked to personally embarrass Christian Bale.

Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking... There's no excuse for a temper tantrum like that to ever occur and if you are going to act that way, you deserve to be embarrassed by your own actions.

Except, you want to hear the REALITY behind that clip?

I know this because I happen to be somewhere where someone that was there that day and for the shoot is. And this person isn't a publicist, nor are they invested in Bale's career. They're just someone that thinks it is absolute bullshit that this moment in Bale's life is being aired and that the real story should get out there.

The DP on TERMINATOR SALVATION, Shane Hurlbut, is a apparently a light tweaker. He's a fairly young DP and likes to fiddle with his lights on set during action, which is a big "NO NO" on most productions unless worked out in advance with performers. But apparently Shane was a pretty unrepentant light tweaker.

The scene in question, was a very emotional and tough scene between Christian Bale and Bryce Howard. A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration. The sort of scene where everyone on set knows not to get in anyone's eye lines, and definitely not to move lights around while FILMING. You lock that shit down before the scene starts.

Bale had indeed warned the DP on multiple occasions about messing with lights while the cameras were rolling, and Bale was in the midst of a painful scene with Bryce, what was described to me as being the emotional center of the film and his character for the film.

Now, the reason I know all of this is because the person that was there, felt that it should be made perfectly clear that Christian Bale was the utmost gentleman and cool guy on set. And the DP really was doing something that professional DPs with experience just don't do. Not during a performance.

You don't need me to give you a link, it's all over the internet, I just felt that you should know what really went down - and that this particular outburst did indeed modify the DP's behavior - and for future DPs. Fuck with the lights before and after your actors are acting. Not during.

I stay out of the 'personal gossip' arena because frankly... can you imagine your personal shit aired for all to see. None of us are perfect, and certainly we have all sinned to some degree. Actors, Actresses, Celebrities and the people exploited on sites like TMZ. They're human beings that I personally feel are owed the same inalienable rights that the rest of us hold dear.

Can you imagine cameras documenting your every attempted private moment. This moment was something that occurred in the heat of a moment on set between professionals. The audio is so clear on Christian, that it's obvious a mike was on him or a foot and a half above him. These are the sorts of moments that are private affairs. Yet somehow, because he's an actor. We feel it's permissable to air his dirty laundry. It isn't our business. It isn't anybody's fucking business. Will this affect TERMINATOR SALVATION? Will this give us insight into his character? Only because I found some details out, do we know it was in the midst of a scene between him and Bryce Howard. But that's accidental... and certainly hasn't been revealed by CNN or any other media, because they just run the clip with BEEPS. Is it funny? I suppose it may be. It allows regular people to laugh, point fingers and call someone other than themselves an ASSHOLE. But frankly, I find it disgusting. It's the exact thing that I made AICN to not be about. I wrote this, not to create an endless TALKBACK, but to express my opinion on the spreading of stories like this and making Christian look bad, when he isn't.

I'm down with Harry on this one. Sounds like Bateman should be commended for not slicing the dude up with a straight razor.

Still overreacted. "You don't understand what it's like working with actors" screams asshole anyway you look at it. And just how many berating "fuck"s does it take to make your point?

You seem to have to be emotional to be an actor though. And he was in the midst of getting very emotional for the scene. Totally justified and should have gotten that tard DP fired, killed, and raped. In that order.

Agreed, but it usually helps with assholism, too.

DUDE IT'S FUCKING ACTING!  I agree with that article but come on.  People make mistakes in professions everyday all over the world.  It's not like they were fucking doing brain surgery and a patient died.  The DP may well indeed deserved to be fired but to be cussed and threatened physically?  Hardly professional as Bale insists he is.
