Wasn't he accused of assaulting his mother and sister a short while back? Now he flips out on some guy with a near 4 minute temper tantrum? I'm curious if this a 'roid rage thing. Either way, he's a condescending asshole who probably has a lot fewer fans than he did a week ago.

Not only was the clip 4 mins long, at one point you can hear him about to storm the guy as he yelling he's gonna kick his ass.

Yeah. He keeps fading in and out between English and US English.
Haha, "LET'S GO AGAIN" reminds me of Billo's "WE'LL DO IT LIVE"
Just finished reading the thread, I was beat 🙁
Really though, very first thing that came to my mind when I heard him say "LET'S GO AGAIN"

Maybe he had bad run in's with the guy before? You don't know the full story. Obviously he must of been pissed off quite substantially for him to go on and on and on about it. Plus when someone gets like that, it's usually best to just walk away and disappear for a bit, it seemed as if the DP was hanging around pissing him off even more, when his tantrum obviously didn't go away yet.

A lot of people are ripping the director, McG for not having control over his set. He essentially had limited directing experience beforehand, his biggest were 'charlies angels' and 'we are marshall', and if he supposedly wasn't so weak on the set, it supposedly wouldn't have gone down like that. Bale even refers to him, 'mcG - you going to say anything to him about this?' and he replies timidly, 'I didn't see it...'.

Anyone actually like Bale more after this? He's a friggin hothead and beats up his mother/sister from time to time. I dunno...adds more character I guess? 😛 - I dunno, he's kind of a dick but I still like him alright.

Bale will survive this, as long as he uses his charm and tempers his antisocial demeaner in public. I watched Empire of the Sun (1987) yesterday again and still can't believe how great his performance was for a young teenager. He was on par with co-star john malkovich, and this was only his first movie.

He spoke out on a local radio station.
"Los Angeles (E! Online) ? There are at least two men with whom Christian Bale is not professionally done: Los Angeles DJs Kevin and Bean.
After a week of unrelenting press coverage in the wake of his leaked onset rant, Bale unexpectedly chose to break his silence over the incident on KROQ radio's popular morning show, taking full responsibility for his Terminator: Salvation explosion.
"It's been a miserable week for me," Bale told hosts Kevin Ryder and Gene "Bean" Baxter. "Listen, I know I have a potty mouth; everybody knows this now.
"The thing that I really want to stress is I have no confusion whatsoever. I was out of order beyond belief. I was way out of order. I acted like a punk. I regret that.
"There is nobody that has heard that tape that's been hit harder by it than me. I make no excuses for it. It is unexcusable. I hope that that is absolutely clear."
As for what brought on the much-played rant, Bale said that the day's shooting was particularly intense and that "I put so much into what I do and care so much about it and sometimes the enthusiasm just goes awry.
"I'm embarrassed by it. I ask everybody to sit down and ask themselves, have they ever had a bad day and have they ever lost their temper and really regretted it immensely."
Not that he doesn't understand the public's insatiable desire to hear?and mock and remix?the audio.
"Feel free to make fun of me at my expense; I deserve it completely."
Bale, who could easily have chosen any worldwide media to deliver his mea culpa, said he selected KROQ because had been listening to the morning show's mockery and incessant playing of his rant all week.
"I spoke with you guys a few years back; you seem like good guys and I wanted to talk with you about it," he said, before adding that the DJs' take on his rant made him laugh. "Believe me, this is no punk."
Kevin and Bean, meanwhile, had a slightly more humbling take on why they were chosen.
"You can talk to a guy who tries to high-five a blind dude or you can talk to Kevin and Bean; those are your options in the morning," they said.
(For those doubting the validity of the scoop, Bale's rep Jennifer Allen has confirmed that it was the actor, and not the station's dead-on Bale impersonator, Ralph Garman.)
As for any residual hard feelings between Bale and the object of his on-set rant, the actor said it ceased being an issue shortly after the outburst.
"We have resolved this completely...I have no intention of getting anyone fired. There is no problem whatsoever."
