Somebody leaked audio from a Christian Bale tantrum on the set of Terminator Salvation a few months back on to the Internets. Evidently Shane Hurlbut, director of photography, accidentally walked on to a set during a scene and it ruined the shot. Christian Bale really, really didn’t like that. He called Hulbut “a prick” and threatened to kick his ass.
Worse, he even threatened to trash Hulbut’s set lights.
The audio makes Bale sound ridiculous. It’s as though he is trying to live up to the stereotype of a moody, spoiled actor that thinks he’s better than everyone else.
