Ironic for a guy named Christian.
Christian Bale
Exceptional actor
Faux theologian
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’.
And who is notorious in his industry for behavior that anywhere else would get someone fired and or committed to a loony bin. In terms of his craft, however, he is a very good actor. Being bats#$% (pun intended) crazy is no bar and in fact can enhance an actor’s capabilities. Just don’t expect them to be rational or look to them for good advice or opinions on anything.
