Bodog Beat

Christian Bale seems cool. (Warner Brothers Images)

So your Bodog Beat editors are super sad. We didn't believe it when last summer our hero, Christian Bale, was arrested for assaulting his mother and sister. And when reports came out that his mom and sis were sniffing around trying to get some of his dough, we knew our Christian was vindicated!

So, it was with shock and horror today when we heard the news that Christian lost his shit on the set of Terminator: Salvation, launching into an expletive-ridden tirade upon the film's director of photography and then demanding he be fired. Apparently, according to the audio, D.P. Shane Hurlbut wrecked one of Christian's scenes.

"I want you off the set! You prick!" Bale yelled at Hurlbut. "No, don't just be sorry! Think for one fucking second! What the fuck are you doing? Are you professional or not?"

Our friends over at WWTDD have the audio.

However, Bruce Franklin, an assistant director and associate producer on the flick, defends Bale by claiming the 35-year-old actor had a bad day.

"If you are working in a very intense scene and someone takes you out of your groove. It was the most emotional scene in the movie," said Franklin. "And for him to get stopped in the middle of it. He is very intensely involved in his character. He didn't walk around like that all day long. It was just a moment and it passed."
