Don’t forget this is the same actor who was taped shrieking profanities at his film director years ago, when the director accidentally walked in front of Bale, during a rehersal, breaking his concentration. This is the same actor who was accused by his mother and sister of beating them up during a family visit. His response was to ignore them and say they were after his money.
Sometimes, being very rich and successful makes one feel invulnerable and entitled. Recall how things ended for one “Wall of Sound” music producer, Phil Spector. Bale may have said these things just to start a controversy, and get tongues to wagging about the movie. I didn’t realize it was already ‘in the can’.
Would you provide a resource for these incidents? I am interesting in reading about the actors conduct. A number of friends are enamored with this actor. They may have a change of heart after reading any facts concerning your comments.
