Venkman here and I just wanted to quickly let you know that Christian Bale recently went on a radio show here in LA called KROQ and talks about what happened on the set that day and made a public apology. He really clears the air with this thing and makes no excuse while doing it. This guy is still the man. Here are a few of the things that hes say’s in the interview, and if you want to listen to it CLICK HERE.
“The thing I really want to stress is that I have NO confusion what-so-ever. I was out of order beyond belief. I acted like a punk. I regret that and there is nobody that has heard that tape that is hit harder by it than me. I make no excuses for it, it is inexcusable.”
“In [T2] you will meet Sarah Connor. And she is in an insane asylum-why is she there? Because she is crazy. Now I play John Connor her son, and 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, and it went a little wrong… I took it way too far, and I completely mixed up fact and fiction. I’m half John Connor, I’m half Christian there.”
“I’ve not only talked with [DP Shane Hurlbut], we’ve 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 hired, it’s hot air. I don’t believe that. I have no intention of getting anybody fired.”
“And another thing: a lot of people that I was a bully to this guy. That’s an insult to Shane. He is a big guy. I couldn’t have bullied that guy if I tried. He’s much bigger than me-he’s an ex-friggin football player.”
Great clip — Bale is a normal person after all
This is awesome. That dumb ass exec tried to make an excuse for him a few days back and then Bale comes out and bails himself out by admitting fault. I lost respect for him when I heard it, but that respect is nothing but gained back beyond what I had for him in the first place. He is a stand up guy.
“He really clears the air with this thing and makes no excuse while doing it.”
Uhhh, did you read this part:
“In [T2] you will meet Sarah Connor. And she is in an insane asylum-why is she there? Because she is crazy. Now I play John Connor her son, and 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, and it went a little wrong… I took it way too far, and I completely mixed up fact and fiction. I’m half John Connor, I’m half Christian there.”
That entire second paragraph is nothing but a huge (albeit lame) attempt at an excuse!!
I love it when he says “…there is nobody that has heard that tape that is hit harder by it than me.” Spoken like a true narcissistic actor, always the only person in their universe that matters. Maybe he should ask Shane how he feels when he hears it.
Oh yeah, someone should tell Mr. Bale that a “punk” is some kid skateboarding too close to you on the sidewalk or a mouthy teenager behind you at the movies. Someone who speaks to another person like that (especially in front of other people) is a total m*ther*ucking *sshole!!!
