Kay. I know you guys have heard by now that Christian Bale is a big (beautiful) baby. His 'tirade' at the director of photography on the set of the new Terminator movie is now all over the news and I have to admit, I'm not surprised. I have heard about this temper of his and it just makes me glad I don't know him personally.
I won't post a link to the 'blow up' because it is tedious and laden w/ all sorts of profanity (though it can be heard edited)...and it goes on for far too long.
But I do kinda wish people would leave the guy alone...and not just because he's pretty...heh heh. He is obviously meticulously dedicated to his craft (as it pretty evident from his extreme weight loss for The Machinist) and a rabid perfectionist to boot. And it does have to be incredibly frustrating to feel that you've FINALLY got the shot the way you want it, finally accomplished the performance you wanted, and then had it ruined through no fault of your own. I mean, you can't get it back.
I DO NOT condone this type of behavior by any means but it is a shame there has to be an audience. I mean, Van Gough probably threw some major tantrums when 'Starry Night' was giving him trouble but he was fortunate enough not to have cameras or audio equipment around to record and make dance remixes out of it...Ach!

I know you have love for Mr. Bale. And yeah, I'm just like, dude, who gives a poop? It's what he does for a living and it was messed up! I'm pretty positive all actors and actresses are divas. They pay them to be for goodness sakes. I say leave him alone and let him have his little moment. You know all the other ones do...
