Christian Bale Still Embarrassed By His Flip Out

Christian Bale has revealed that he is still embarrassed by the F-bombing rant (35 times!) that he unleashed on Shane Hurlbut while on the set of “Terminator Salvation”.

The actual rant took place in 2008, but was leaked onto the internet in February, 2009. The rant lasted four long minutes, but Bale says that he hopes that won’t keep fans out of the theaters.

He has since apologized, while pundits made fun and the rant got a remix.

He says:

“I did what I did. I’m not hiding that. I went overboard. You’ll often try things and they’re abysmal, sometimes they’re embarrassing beyond belief but you’ve got to be able to try them and trust that it’s not going to be put out there and mocked. I’m not making any excuses. I’m not whining. Hey listen, I did it… it’s in public space. Hey, I take the consequences for it. It’s not in anyone’s interest to know that much. I get that they want to hear about it but to me I look at it as old-school movie magic and with magic you do not reveal your secrets.”

He also wants to come back for another “Terminator” movie and hopes his rant won’t get the movie punished by fans of the franchise.

He adds, “I’d like to return to it, if people embrace it. It’s up to him out there.”
