Christian Bale's Letter Of Apology

thumbnail icon: Christian Bale's Letter Of Apology

To Shane Hurlbut, and to my fans,

I'm so fucking sorry that I lost control on the fucking set of Terminator Salvation. It was so fucking inappropriate. I could try and make some kind of excuse, about the stress of carrying the success of a major franchise on your shoulders, or the mental intensity of an actor in the middle of an emotionally powerful scene, but I won't patronize you. We both know that I could do this fucking job with my fucking eyes fucking closed. And this is a fucking Terminator movie. There are no emotionally powerful scenes.

As you may remember during my tirade, I asked Mr. Hurlbut if he was a professional. I wish I had had the temperament to ask myself that question in that moment. Are you a professional or not, Christian Bale? I would have said. To myself. A professional does not do what I did to Mr. Hurlbut on that day. A professional sits in his trailer and rubs cocaine on his dick, alone.

I know that these revelations have fucking shocked many of my fans, and I'm so fucking sorry. I want to kick my own fucking ass. NO! NO! DON'T SHUT ME UP. Da de da de da, what don't you fucking understand? You got any fucking idear about how fucking sorry I fucking am?

Fuck you,
Chrissy B.

I like it when you think up new things people can do with cocaine.

the proper way to read this letter is in accents varying from British to Australian to New York.

Australian?? I don't remember him peeing his pants at any point in his rant. That's Hugh Jackman, you silly goose!

I think it's more Welsh, with a hint of South African, crossed with Gothamese

The World Will Know, if you are Carrying the Banner and Seize the Day, that Christian Bale is officially out of the running for King of New York and Santa Fe doesn't want him either.

what a fucking tool... if I were the director.. I would've been like.. "Listen you fucking twat-faced shitburger... You either work with the team or I'll make ONE phone call and have Tom Cruise replace your sorry ass so fast that you'll be back kissing the queens ass before you can say 'spot of tea'."

He may have been an awesome batman.. but he still seems like a complete asshole imho..

I think i'm love with your ChrissyB, marry me! i loved reading your article.

Anyway Bale is ass.hole and needs to issue an apology to the fans, i for one will not be paying my hard earned movie to see the Terminator movie. i rather rent it screw the actors who think this type of behavior is approriate.
