Christian Bale Apologizes -- "It's Been a Miserable Week for Me...I Acted Like a Punk"
Christian Bale has been the talk of the town! His f-bomb tirade made Rod Blagojevich looked like a saint.
UPDATE:
The actor has publicly apologized for his bad behavior on the set of "Terminator Salvation" saying he "was out of order beyond belief!"
In his interview with the Los Angeles radio show Kevin & Bean, Bale says:
"I have to tell ya, it's been a miserable week for me... I know I have a potty mouth, everybody knows that now. The thing that I really wanna stress is that 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 it's hit harder than me. So I make no excuses for it, it was inexcusable and I hope that is absolutely clear..."
According to Bale, the drama never got close to becoming physical but blames everything on the tension of the scene, the characters:
"So many people have opinions on this, but none of them were there. Now, we're making Terminator... Sarah Connor is in an insane asylum. I play John Connor, Sarah Connor's son. Now, on the day that all of this happened, the scene that we were doing, I was trying to show a little of that in the blood craziness. You know what? It went very wrong and for reasons that myself, and Shane... and every crew member who was in that hanger at Kirkland Air Space (in Washington) that day, they know the reasons, I got annoyed and then what happened, I made it ugly, and that was awful of me. I took it way too far and completely mixed up fact and fiction, I'm half John Connor, half Christian Bale and we've heard what happened."
But here's the good news! Bale and the director of photography, the recipient of the actor's outburst, Shane Hurlbut, are still professionally friendly with each other:
"I've not only talked with him, we resolved this completely that very day. We kept working for a number of hours. Listen, when I'm saying I'm not coming back on that set if he's still there, you know what? It's hot air. I don't believe that. I had no intention of getting anybody fired. I absolutely believed in Shane's capability, he's done a wonderful job on that movie. Everything is resolved between us, there is no problem whatsoever. I've seen a cut of the movie and he has done a wonderful professional job, and I don't want anyone to have a misunderstanding about that."
Aw...see? All's well that ends well!
Oh, listen to the complete interview right here.
