Remember 2009? The famous actor Christian Bale got in big trouble on the movie set. His angry yelling became more popular than the movie itself!
Before this, Bale was known for acting in difficult roles that changed his body. Like in American Psycho where he played a scary killer. Or The Machinist where he became very thin. Years later in 2018, he even got fat to play an important politician named Dick Cheney.
When Bale joined the movie Terminator Salvation, people thought he would act great as always. But the movie was not good. What did become very popular was a recording of Bale yelling with bad words.
Here’s what happened: During filming, a camera man named Shane Hurlbut walked in front of the cameras two times. This made Bale very mad. The recording caught Bale screaming bad words at Hurlbut over and over. Bale even threatened to quit the whole movie if it happened again!
Hurlbut said he was sorry. But Bale would not stop yelling. Later, Bale had to apologize for his behavior. Some people thought he went too far with the yelling. Other people said he simply cared a lot about acting.
In the end, not many people remember the movie Terminator Salvation itself. But everyone still talks about Christian Bale’s famous angry yelling from that set! His real-life drama became bigger than the movie drama.
