Christian Bale Loses It on Terminator 4 Set (Leaked Audio)

Audio of Christian Bale verbally assaulting an associate producer for walking around in the background during the taping of a scene for ‘Terminator 4: Salvation’ recently found it’s way on to the net.

In the clip, Christian can be heard belittling the director of photography, Bruce Franklin, with countless F-bombs for lingering in the back drops while he was filming on the Terminator 4 movie set. Bruce’s explanation for ruining Bale’s scene with Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays his wife in the film, is “I was looking at the light.” An excuse that set’s Batman to the brinks as Christian responds with “I’m going to f***ing kick your F***ing a**” before personnel rush in to restrain him.

The 3:37 minute clip was apparently leaked after it was distributed to the film’s insurance company as a precaution in case Bale made good on his threat to walk away from filming if Bruce was not fired.

I don’t know much about on-set etiquette in Hollywood since my only acting credit is “Awkward Masterbater #2″ in 2000’s ‘Standing in front of the girl’s locker room’ (it was more of a documentary really) so I’m not really sure if Christian Bale was justified in making a grown man look like BJ Penn’s dignity but he’s f*cking Bale so he can do what ever he wants.

P.S. Enjoy the clip. It took me forever to find a clip that dubbed in scenes from Christian Bale’s movie ‘American Psycho’ where he plays an axe-wielding serial killer who quotes Whitney Huston trivia.

UPDATE - Bruce Responds to Leaked Audio:

“If you are working in a very intense scene and someone takes you out of your groove…It was the most emotional scene in the movie,” said Franklin. “And for him to get stopped in the middle of it. He is very intensely involved in his character. He didn’t walk around like that all day long. It was just a moment and it passed.

“This was my second movie with Christian, and it has always been a good experience with him,” added Franklin, who also worked with the actor on 2000’s Shaft. “He is so dedicated to the craft. I think someone is begging to make some noise about this, but I don’t think it’s fair. The art of acting is not paint by numbers, it’s an art form. “ [E! via horror-movies.ca]

His on-set outburst occurred days before he was arrested in London for an alleged assault on his mother and sister in a London hotel room on the eve of The Dark Knight premiere. [Telegraph UK]
