Re: After hearing this, I may never pay to see another Christian Bale movie again.
Not to be a super-fan, but I didn't find him too threatening in that audio. As he was saying, it wasn't the first time that the guy had fucked up. The article is claiming it to be one random outburst of violence. As well, he called him a nice guy. I think he was just making sure he wouldn't do it again. Not to mention, it was entirely one-sided. We couldn't hear what the other guy was saying.
And yeah, method acting would have a part. But I think it's more to do with his starvation for the role of John Connor. He's said in interviews that he is not a healthy-type of person, he's British through and through, and loves beer and fish and chips. I think I would be a little off-kilter too, if I could only eat apples and celery and smoke cigarettes from day to day in order to prepare for a role.
Also, it's hard to see how he thinks he's better than "ordinary people", because he's working with a Director of Photography whose job is to be an asshole about getting the perfect shot.
Not to mention, it's fucking McG working on this movie. The fucking Charlie's Angels guy. I can see how Bale is worried about the professionalism and quality of it. I would be truly concerned if he was not yelling.
