Christian Bale tirade on Shane Hurlbut

British actor Christian Bale is no stranger to bad press, and he is once again in the news today after an audio tape of a verbal tirade by Bale has been released.

The guy on the receiving end of the verbal assault was Shane Hurlbut, the director of photography for the Terminator Salvation film. The encounter went on for almost four entire minutes, and Bale used the f-word at least 37 times, and at one point threatened physical harm against Hurblut. It all started when Hurlbut apparently walked on set, and ruined the scene that was being filmed. The reaction was a bit intense, and Hale went so far as to threaten to quit the film if Hurlbut was not removed from the project.

The event apparently occurred just days after the actor was arrested and accused of assaulting his mother and sister in London. Definitely a week that I am sure the actor wishes he could take back.

You can hear the entire verbal assualt online. (just be warned, the language is not pretty!)
