Bale Apologizes for F-Bomb Outburst

He's hoping that it makes it better grif, but i don't know if it will. Even in this apology, you get the sense that he is more upset about the fact that he HAS to apologize for it. "it's been a miserable week for me".... we don't necessarily feel sorry for you...

I didn't think it was that big a deal until i heard it. i know actors, and they get into this "method acting" zone that is straight twilight Zone. But after I heard it, I understood why everybody on this site was so outraged...

Exactly, shaman... why do I get the sense that Bale believes HE is the victim here?

newsies was great. "headlines dont sell papes, NEWSIES sell papes"

Christian Bale should buy Michael Phelps an island somewhere for getting caught smoking weed. That was the only thing that overshadowed Bale in celebrity news this week lol.

Very good points gentlemen. Yes Version4, i do believe he's using the "victim" card here. Thing is, don't go admitting that you are a victim of your own temper without doing anything about it. He admits it and says he's sorry which means jack shit to me unless i see pictures of him signing up for anger management.

I would respect him more if he wouldn't have apologized. Not because I think what he did was right (I think he was wrong) but because I believe that in reality he is a short-fused asshole. I'm fine with him being an asshole. I just think if you're going to be an asshole you should be the most assholish asshole you can be and not apologize for that. But he sold out and apologized. The only thing he didn't do to explain it away was check himself into some rehab center and blame it on the addiction du jour. Typical Hollywood crap.

I'm surprised he even made a public apology. There was no need if you ask me, he wasn't yelling at us.

I f-n' except his f-'n apology.
F-it.

Since hearing his outburst one thing has bothered me.Yeah Bale was out of line but then again who the frack hasn't lost their cool at some point in their life only to later on go back and apologize to the person they offended?Anyone here says they haven't then you and only you have to live with the fact you're a liar.Well unless you weren't big enough to apologize then well you would only be half a liar..:)
Which brings me to this point.If you guys listened to the "entire" recording Bale did indeed state that everything was settled "that day".It didn't take him a year to apologize to the DP.For pete's sake some of you are taking such a high ground on this.The man is having to publicaly apologize now cuz someone decided to make this outburst public otherwise none of us would have ever known.Give the man a break and lets move on.

Thank you Tiger73 for listening to the entire clip.

The one that is really in the wrong is McG for letting that shit happen, because it is always the Director's set and they run the set.

Oh come on. I'm sure none of you are qualified to be able to judge whether a person is being sincere or not. I know I'm not, but I do feel that this apology is genuine. Obviously he doesn't HAVE to apologize or else he'd do it in a more public way. He was thankful to the radio guys for giving him the chance to explain himself. He also explained that he is now on good terms with the DP who he shouted at LAST SUMMER. It was ages ago and had it not been for the tape it would be water under the bridge. Although I was one of the many shocked by his out burst. I don't think he owes anyone an apology now. The only one deserving of an apology was the DP and he probably got it later that day up to six months ago. Christian Bale is no "Superstar" he is hardly ever in the papers and he's not out to piss anyone off so give him a break already. He's had to live with the regret of that incident since July and now he's made to relive it after it's been long dealt with. I appreciate everything Christian Bale has done. I have not yet seen him in something I didn't enjoy.

I don't think a public apology was necessary. I don't think I would have apologized in his shoes. I would have gone on the Late Show and had some fun with it. Its not like he killed or raped the guy, he just gave him a royal *** chewing.

Well there's a big fat "I told you so". Who didn't know he was going to make a public apology? C'mon, whether they kissed and made up that day or not. He KNEW that day, the audio would eventually come out and he would have to say "I'm sowwie" to the guy on public television/radio to make things "all bettew".

It's an inevitability in actors/actresses/musicians/superstars etc to make public apologies to people they offend. It gives them publicity and makes them look good. That is all.

My bad, I voted for Obama. He has change powers amd I like his healthcare program. Bale definately waited until it was pretty late but who cares, if he worked it out with the crew and specifically the DP his significant emotional event occured with, you know the guy he was insulting to, not us, then I think we can let it go. If his performance in Terminator sucks then I will be a critic and run my mouth.

Obama has been in office for two weeks, tbarnett. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get any legislation through the government? Hateing Obama for stupid crap like that is just like people hateing on Bush when he just got into office. Do you like it when people treat Bush unfairly? No, so why are you doing the same thing with Obama? Give the damn guy at least a year before you bring out the tar and feathers. Sheesh.

On a similar note this is a discussion board for comicbook movies. You can say what you want, sure thats fine and well, but if you bring in politics it will stir up a beesnest worth of hate and resentment, and do we really need to be bickering and throwing insults at one another on this site? We do it enough over DBE and Watchmen ;)

Oh yeah, and Bale's a jerk-off who got caught being a jerk-off. Wont really stop me from watching his movies. Ill just think has a jerk-off, and if I, or anyone else who heard this tape, ever have a chance to meet him, ill treat him like a jerk-off. Thats social karma and a punishment in-and-of-itself.

Shadowelfz I find it kind of funny that while you felt the need to lecture somebody on talking about politics on here you also felt the need to add to the political discussion as well. I'm not trying to be an ass. I'm just pointing out that while you're talking about stirring up a "beesnest worth of hate and resentment", what you said could have just added fuel to the flames.

I think a simple "Hey let's not get into a political debate on here" would have sufficed.

On that note, "let's not get into a political debate on here":)

Honestly, for the first time ever maybe...I agree with SUpermike. He doesnt need to apologize. He might of gone "over board with the profanity"...but for him to yell and tell the IDIOT DP to get off the stage several times...that just ridiculous.

I think he feels GUILTY. Which is fine for why he apologized, he should onyl apologize for dropping profanity and going HULK on that guy. Rather then apologize because he was mad, he had every right to be mad. Hes an Actor. Hes not Tom Cruise where he has cuts after every 2 lines. lol

swampy417 Tiger73 and potatosacker71 you are spot on. oh wait, no one ever gets mad and loses their temper and says things they regret...ever. LOL. most peeps on here are so ridiculous. the guy shouldn't have to apologize for yelling at a DP that screwed up. Apologize for taking it too far yes but come on. AND NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT JOB IS LIKE...TRUST ME!! next point: if you listen to the whole thing...he SAID he apologized to the guy that day and they are friends and have since worked together...he said he doesnt think hes better than anyone...and if you know anything about him...you'd know he's legit. AND..to BuckyB7588 and lagononeil...hes just now apologizing where we hear it because its just now coming to our attention...get a freakin clue..why would he apologize to us for something we're unaware of..and once again...like i said before...and like he said..he apologized personally to the guy that day. Theyre friends. and as i've said on other posts, of course him apologizing to the guy isn't going to make news...thats conveniently left out. Anyone that knows anything about Bale knows he's down to earth and he's legit.

hey version4...he's not looking for anyone to feel sorry for him...he said he's had a terrible week probobly because he thought this crap wouldnt happen. why should he have to make a public statement...that happened forever ago and he apologized to the guy that day...its no one elses business...its between God, Bale, the DP and McG. No one else.
ALSO...he said he felt he deserved to be called out because hes not ever the type to think hes better than anyone or want them fired...he was as he said himself blowing hot air cuz he was pissed...youd be too. let me come into your job and screw up your entire days work and see if youre not pissed. lol. all that being said...if you actually LISTEN to the whole thing...you can tell hes not looking for sympathy. to 'Betty'
Hes apologizing..and the reason he mentions still going to see the film is because he doesnt want people to not watch it based on the 'outburst' and it ruin everyones hard work..NOT because he is an ego maniac.
yikes...i dont think you haters even really listen to this thing did you!? hahahha

well depending on how sincere he was being, when someone admits they wer wrong it goes a long way with me. also its obvious he really was in character during the outburst..not an exuse but maybe a bit more understandable...still im never going to stop making fun of it! [frick]IN ASS!
