Not really music news, though Christian Bale's 'fuck' filled rant came to public attention mainly via that amusing remix track that circulated online last week, so I think it's only right we publish the actor's apology over the outburst, which, as previously reported, occurred on set on the filming of the new 'Terminator: Salvation' film, and was aimed at the film's Director Of Photography Shane Hurlbut, who apparently disturbed Bale's concentration while he was busy acting.
Speaking to LA radio station KROQ, Bale admitted that he "acted like a punk", adding: "I was out of order beyond belief. I make no excuses for it". He continued: "The thing that disturbs me so much is that I've heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think that I'm better than anybody else. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am a very lucky and that is why I put so much into what I do, and why I care so much about it and why sometimes my enthusiasm just goes awry".
As you probably saw, almost more amusing than the Bale rant remix itself was the fact the BBC broadcast the opening line of it without the 'fuck' bleeped out during its Breakfast News programme last week, leading to much embarrassment among the show's presenters. It's a good job Bale didn't call Hurlbut a "gollywog", had that gone out unedited on Breakfast he'd have been banned from the Corporation for life.
