I am an avid listener to 95.5 The Wild Morning Show each and every morning with Kevin Virginia and Jason. It is a great show, I suggest you listen it, but anyway, they have a segment on their show called, “The Dirt of the Day”. It is actually my favorite part of the show, with Jason’s catchy rap asking Vicious V (Virginia) for the “celebrity sleeze”. Well today I certainly got my fill of the dirt. It started out with an upsetting audio from a Mr. Christian Bale who is verbally abusing one of his cinematographers for, “being in his line of sight” during the taping of the new Terminator. Now I know how reports can be and sometimes things are fudged, but in listening a few times, I feel like this is really who Bale is.
I was quite a fan of the movie The Dark Knight, I thought Christopher Nolan did a fabulous job, but after seeing this horrible display by Christian Bale, I feel Mr. Nolan should definitely get some sort of recognition for putting up with him. I’m not sure if Christian Bale is an actor everyone wants to get their hands on or maybe it doesn’t cost as much to get him on the set, but wow. If I was a director and had to deal with an attitude like that on a regular basis, my film probably wouldn’t turn out as wonderful as The Dark Knight did. It makes me think of all the times Christian Bale was on screen, there wasn’t too many other people with him, I wonder why?
As Bale is yelling at this very apologetic cinematographer Shane Hurlbut, he talks about how he lacks professionalism and in my eyes this is the epitomy of unprofessional. I feel so badly for Shane (I like to talk like I know him), it does suck that the people with all the money tend to rule the world, but soon there will be an end to this. I know for the most part Television Producers don’t have the most say in who is acting, but maybe I will be that big that I can tell them exactly what Christian told his director, “it’s either him or me”. Well I would never be that mean in the first place, but still!
Just thought this was a bit of information everyone should see, because as we look up to these actors, as if they are Gods, sometimes we have to be reminded that they are just people like us and some are really jerks.
