Honestly the most sincere celebrity apology I've ever heard. Usually they go something like "I'm sorry if I offended anyone" as if they're not apologizing for their behavior, but for how people react to it. Bale seemed genuinely ashamed of his actions.
Ulises Dombroski SO TRUE! This tells me even more how he much he cares about cinema and his job! I have more respect for him after this! hah idiots judging him as if they never flipped out in life. nikka pls.
Too Many Autumns Without You Likewise. I love him so much that i watched all of his movies and i learned his moves amd voice. So now i can imitate him as well lol...
@@rosekeyes3189 Where the hell did you read that shit???? He never, ever did anything like that. For God sake! If you hate someone you don't know, at least take your time and try to find out more about the person. Would you be happy, if someone wrote something ugly about you, without knowing a single thing about you? I don't think so.
I honestly believe that this apology was real. He was way to sincere for it to be fake. Im very happy with this and I'm glad he did it. I love the guy.
If someone told him to do this, he didn't have to say so much about how bad he behaved and apologise several times in this 10 minutes. Anyone apologising with a script covers things up in a few sentences.
THAT is a full on apology - he is a genuine nice guy and it takes a HUGE PAIR to do this live on radio show. Christian is a TOP ACTOR and hes made his peace! As he says we ALL explode at people at times and immediately our 'safety circuit' kicks in a we think 'OHH MY THAT WAS SO WRONG .....that was not who I am' RESPECT to you CB👍🤘
Listen to the wording. He said it "looked" fantastic, because the DP did a great job. "Looked" being the operative word. He has recently stated that Salvation was one film he really regrets having turned out not as good as he knows it could have been. Also, I enjoyed the film, because it wasn't that time travel non-sense, it was the war I was waiting for since the first film. I really wish they would have just continued on, with Bale, and finally have the resistance win the war. John Conner putting the boot to SkyNet is what I really want. Not that ridiculous upcoming quest to ruin the first two Terminator films.
@@rileyfly2031 you mean the recording of him raging? Yeah that’s real. I think my man has some rooted anger management issues + the great stress that being a professional actor / celebrity brings
Even if you believe this apology is fake or disingenuine, the sad thing is that even if he WAS being genuine, there's nothing more he could have said. I think that he humbled himself greatly in this interview and laughed at himself. There is literally no more he could have done. I respect him for that.
Wow, how refreshing! Self deprecating, humble, and making no excuses. He seems genuinely shocked and embarrassed that he'd behaved that way. Great job, Christian! 👏🏼
Christian, you messed up. You owned it and apologised which was the correct thing to do. You belittled the guy, and as long as you genuinely realised it was an over-reaction and personally apologised to Shane, it’s done. Thank you and the Nolan brothers by the way for doing justice to Batman, the greatest super-hero trilogy out there.
How come you get up to accept to accept any apology lmao, where you the one getting screamed at? where you the one screaming, were oyu even in the room? No man, you're a piece of trash by the side of the road, thsi comment is from 10 years ago so youre probably fucking dead right now, it is not up to you to accept any apology.
He's one of few actors in spotlight that actually honestly admits that he screwed up and lost his cool a while working. A real stand up guy, unlike those celebrities like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus.
Justin and Miley are just kids though. Most of these type of apologies are to save the person's own image anyway, rather than expressing a sincere apology.
Gideon Garner never happened. What happened was his mom and sister wanted money for whatever reason. An argument broke out when one of them mentioned his wife and the police came and investigated the situation. Bale even brought himself into the police voluntarily not long after and was let go as the police determined no assault ever happened. As a result, he’s not talked to his mother since. You seem like a hater who read something on the internet once and never looked further into what happened as that requires a bit of digging and work.
The cool thing about this apology is this: 1. It’s actually Christian Bale apologizing. He’s taking full responsibility for it. 2. He’s calling a local radio station to explain what happened to people who cheered him up. 3. He didn’t use a publicist or agent to get the message out. 4. He doesn’t want to skirt around the issue or shift blame. 5. He makes the person he had argument like a bigger person and calls him out for being a better person. 6. He doesn’t use his ego or star power to muscle people out. It sounded like a situation that got out of control, and they handled it like gentlemen in the end.
A lot of the comments seem to be excusing his behaviour like 'we've all had angry outbursts' or 'being an actor is stressful'. Maybe being an actor is stressful but there is no excuse for his behaviour. Verbal aggression of any kind is unacceptable, whether among actors, chefs, businesspeople or whoever, regardless of fame or power. Of course anyone can be forgiven if they change their behaviour, so here's hoping he never treats anyone this way again.
@@user-vh6ts9uf6c are you in the position to act as a moral authority when you're holding a grudge over something he committed and apologised for over a decade ago?
@@beautyholic5592 Ah ok. So you're one of the excusers? I have no idea what you do for a living, but if you spoke to a member of your staff like this, would you still have a job? For someone to act in this manner do you honestly believe this is a "one-off"? People who excuse this shit are complicit to the behaviour of bullies. Makes me sick.
Well, we all snap under certain circumstances. That makes him human just like everyone else. But the greatest thing that he did after that incident was he humbled himself and took responsibility for what he did. And that makes him human too.
He is a good actor...who puts so much effort to get into the character. Probably lost it when the whole thing got disturbed. He might have anger problems as most of us. he apolagised. and thats enough...lets enjoy his work now.
Whether this apology was sincere or not (which I believe it was) the fact that he as a celebrity, could say all these things and admit his wrongdoings, takes a truly unegotistical individual. Hats off to Bale.
He got pissed, he apologized to all involved. Maybe he was having a bad day. I don't think Bale is a bad person. He made a mistake, he owned up to it. End of story. I don't care, he's still a damn good actor.
He hadnt sleeped in over 48 hours at the time apparently due to filming, and the guy walking on set while a scene was bing filmed would mean they have to stop and start over... Im sure he wanted to finish up so he could go home and sleep.... I think he over reacted for sure, but I understand his anger. That light director shouldnt have walked on set, and by the time Christian blew up, the light guy apparently had already walked on set during a scene a couple times so...
christian is the best he owned up to what he . everyone one is human we make mistakes .we r human. we make mistake and at least he owned up to it and said sorry . this is what u call inspiring. What a great person
Wow, he's such a great man. Everyone was judging him, when he's perfectly human and makes mistakes and gets mad, whatever, it's only that we get to see it because he's famous, and get to judge because we don't know what else to do. In all fairness, he is amazing for apologizing, he is truly brave and really deserves the biggest kudos of all. What an amazing man.
Why????? Every one loses their temper but not in the spotlight cuz is not filmed. You lose your temper sometimes you and then do you like to hear that people around you are ashamed of you cuz you lost your temper??? Syrely not cuz it is normal and it happens. He had the right to he's a really dedicated actor and pls if you are not in his shoes, do not judge him.🌷
Christian Bale, you still love you. :) It's really cool that his apology was twice as long as his rant. To me, that's a pretty good make up. And really? Who doesn't lose their temper once in a while?
IDK bale's motive, but haven't we all snapped like that and flipped out, if you've had a bad week, it doesn't take much to set someone off. He sounds imo, sincere. We probably get far more angry all the time like that, but there isn't a camera around, so get off your high horses.
That's fair comment, James. I remember when a guy flipped out in the office like that. He apologised to all concerned but did he get a promotion? Hell no. He was gone within 3 months.
Unless you've worked on a set, you can't really understand the tension that builds. It's part of the creative process. It even happens with bands working on songs. All enthusiastic artists have a tendency to put their feet in their mouths. Experienced crew, actors, directors, they all understand that and let go of taking things personally when they step into the creative arena. A good director knows that when an actor has hit that point that the actor is on to something vital in character exploration and sometimes has to be a diplomat when managing all the swirling emotions. On the other hand, how an actor behaves offstage or off-screen is his or her responsibility. But working in an industry that requires you to dig down into your deepest fears, hostility, etc. makes you raw beyond belief. That is, if you want to do it well.
Yes, its very stressful being actor of his ilk, getting paid millions of $'s per film, reading lines, and pretending to be someone else. Forget all the doctors & nurses saving peoples lives on a daily basis for little money in comparison, working 60 - 80 hours a week! Thats not stress, Being an actor is stress isnt it gregory!! Ya fuckwit.
Try acting and succeeding at it and then get back to me Dave. I guarantee you'd run away crying like a baby. I praise doctors and nurses every chance I can. They have their own set of stresses related to their work. Granted some actors suck and get rewarded while doing horrible work because they know the right people (cases in point: Adam Sandler and Julia Roberts) and have a cult of personality willing to throw money at them. Your ignorance of how working in the film industry is quite telling. Actors like Christian Bale are paid lots of money because when a movie makes millions of dollars at the box office, video rentals, etc., they have negotiated to receive a portion of the proceeds for that, plus just their regular acting salary. Wouldn't you?
gregory brian Well i do work as an extra, i was in Shaun of the Dead. And my Brother is an actor! I've been on TV 8 times so far. So i do have a rough idea of how it works! Its mainly sitting around for hours. What was it in my comment that led you to think i hadn't done any acting? Whatever it was... ...It was wrong.
I'm half John Conner and half Christain Bale. Well, that makes everything fine now. I'm sure the guy he completely humiliated for all the world to see is just fine now too.
Here's what confuses me. He's from England, as clearly heard here. And yet, when he goes nutshit, he sounds like he's from South Jersey. Or somewhere up north.
I think he had a point. He was trying to do a scene and the guy was acting like he was walking in the middle of a street. Bale works 10x harder than anyone else...he expects the same standards for people working with him.
Bale is only human, everyone is entitled to loosing your head every now and then. Don´t judge a person for 1 shitty screw up in his life. So many good movies from this actor, I wont let his lash out ruin it. Hes straightening things out here, a true gentleman.
He didnt just apologised, he tried to protect the whole Franchise and lowered himself to save the "Lightning Guys" Reputation. Christian Bale realy IS Batman.
He’s human. He’s not perfect. We all get angry and snap sometimes. If you haven’t snapped before, it’s likely to happen to you in the future (Although it may not be like how he did because breakdowns come in different forms), especially if you’re sleep deprived and stressed about work. As long as you own up to your mistakes, apologize and prevent it from happening again, it’s okay. We all mess up. Christian messed up and he owned up to it, so we can’t hold this over his head for the rest of his life.
I can only imagine his agent seeing this online the first time. Probably called him in and played the clip to him then told him he has to apologise and control this fallout or his career is done
I hope he is sincere . The thing is , he is rich and a movie star , add to that he is good looking .... it is easy to say he was just arrogant . U never know but I think he is sincere in his apology ... there was no trace of “I am doing this cause that is the PC thing to do” .
Yes I dunno why everyone ignores the fact that he is a really dedicated actor and cares so much? Why don't they get he is so genuine? I mean surely everyone loses temper but not filmed as Bale was in the spotlight he really had the right to go nuts cuz guess what we are not in his shoes so why judge him? If people assume themselves real fans, then they shouldn't be ignorant!
well movies cost allot to watch these days so i say good on him for trying to get it right, not the fact he grew up and good mates with my father (name drop). top bloke
he's so perfect and this apology reminds me he's human, everybody makes mistakes everybody has those days, and that movie was awesome, every single of his movies. don't judge him leave bale alone
I can kinda relate to bale on the outbreak part as an artist. I of course am not an artist by any measure but i am really passionate about music and I'm a pretty decent guitarist though i say so myself. When i was younger i used to record tracks of improvisation pieces that I'd burn onto a disc and play in my car. While I was recording this one time, my mom knocked on my door and ruined literally a 5 minute absolutely flawless take. I got so enraged that i literally just lost my fucking mind. I felt like turning the whole god damn house upside down. Just thinking about still agitates me a little bit. To anyone else its totally understandable how it may come off as an overreaction, but god damn you can't recreate art created spontaneously in the moment! Shit I'm remembering it again.. fuck i fucking hated that god damn fucking day. Fucking hell.
is ok bale i did love TERMINATOR SALVATION regardless my favorite been the original 1984 Terminator hurts me how under rated salvation is, and how badly it needed a sequel part
I mean Christian is an A-list pro actor with PASSION....and those actors are under big pressure on million $ film sets where time means a lot of money. if he just delivered an intense scene and the camera man says..."oh,sorry dude, forgot to press 'record' "...I can understand that somebody freaks out ...not just the actor...happens all the time
Now, let's see Paul Allen's apology.
Who?
hhh
Underated comment...
It even has a teardrop mark...
i’ll never get tired of this joke
"I understand this is live so please don't worry I will behave." "If you don't we are done professionally Christian." XD
Honestly the most sincere celebrity apology I've ever heard. Usually they go something like "I'm sorry if I offended anyone" as if they're not apologizing for their behavior, but for how people react to it. Bale seemed genuinely ashamed of his actions.

What an amazingly sincere apology. Mr Bale. you sir are not only a fantastic actor your also a very awesome human being.
Indeed he is
Hearing him call Terminator: Salvation a fantastic movie was worse than hearing his tirade.
So true! What a crock of shite! Arnie come back!
Listen to the wording. He said it "looked" fantastic, because the DP did a great job. "Looked" being the operative word. He has recently stated that Salvation was one film he really regrets having turned out not as good as he knows it could have been.
Also, I enjoyed the film, because it wasn't that time travel non-sense, it was the war I was waiting for since the first film. I really wish they would have just continued on, with Bale, and finally have the resistance win the war. John Conner putting the boot to SkyNet is what I really want. Not that ridiculous upcoming quest to ruin the first two Terminator films.
The movie sucked, but the guy he exploded on's cinematography was excellent.

Better than Genysis and Dark Fate.

Whether this apology was sincere or not (which I believe it was) the fact that he as a celebrity, could say all these things and admit his wrongdoings, takes a truly unegotistical individual. Hats off to Bale.

That was an interesting point about being an actor versus being a movie star.

You lose your temper sometimes you and then do you like to hear that people around you are ashamed of you cuz you lost your temper??? Syrely not cuz it is normal and it happens.

He has far more class then Baldwin
I was never ashamed of being a huge fan of this guy. He could have been the first casualty of cancel culture 😂 thank God he didn’t
He only apologized because the audio was leaked. If it wasn't, he wouldn't have.
“I’m an actor and I don’t know how to handle the movie star thing.” WoW in good way
Let's ignore when he visited the cinema shooting victims and the cancer victim who was a batman fan shall we...
Bale sounds like a really nice and modest guy
what I like is that he could have invented excuses to make himself look good but he didn't, which makes me respect him very much for that.
Absolutely a genuine apology, I became a fan of this guy, so humble. It takes a lot of guts to do this. Plus, truly, a terrific actor.
I wish this video had more views then the actual audio tape :(
Christian Bale, you still love you. :)
It's really cool that his apology was twice as long as his rant. To me, that's a pretty good make up.
And really? Who doesn't lose their temper once in a while?
"You still love you." Whatever that means.
What makes the rant so funny, is that if you know the story, you know Bale is a good guy, which makes his flip out somewhat ironic.
His whole rant was in an American accent, shows what an amazing actor he is, totally engrossed in the role
Will Smith needs to hear this.
IDK bale's motive, but haven't we all snapped like that and flipped out, if you've had a bad week, it doesn't take much to set someone off. He sounds imo, sincere. We probably get far more angry all the time like that, but there isn't a camera around, so get off your high horses.
No, never that way.
We all have our off days and he apologised so fair play to him.
That's fair comment, James. I remember when a guy flipped out in the office like that. He apologised to all concerned but did he get a promotion? Hell no. He was gone within 3 months.
He said he made amends to the lighting guy, so this was just public apology.
It was the director of photography, Shane Hurlbut.

This is the biggest apologize I've heard! This shows that Christian Bale is a really good person! We all are humans,remember that :)
was it real?
I love how surprised they were hearing him
"it never came close to blows"....I heard the shit flying christian....sounded like you were going for little orphan annie to me :)
I think he had a point. He was trying to do a scene and the guy was acting like he was walking in the middle of a street. Bale works 10x harder than anyone else...he expects the same standards for people working with him.
Bale is only human, everyone is entitled to loosing your head every now and then. Don´t judge a person for 1 shitty screw up in his life. So many good movies from this actor, I wont let his lash out ruin it. Hes straightening things out here, a true gentleman.
He didnt just apologised, he tried to protect the whole Franchise and lowered himself to save the "Lightning Guys" Reputation.
Christian Bale realy IS Batman.
*apologize , *lighting , *really
He’s human. He’s not perfect. We all get angry and snap sometimes. If you haven’t snapped before, it’s likely to happen to you in the future (Although it may not be like how he did because breakdowns come in different forms), especially if you’re sleep deprived and stressed about work. As long as you own up to your mistakes, apologize and prevent it from happening again, it’s okay. We all mess up. Christian messed up and he owned up to it, so we can’t hold this over his head for the rest of his life.
I can only imagine his agent seeing this online the first time.
Probably called him in and played the clip to him then told him he has to apologise and control this fallout or his career is done
working on your childhood traumas and emotional reactivity helps,
i believe his apology
"I'm going to kick your fuckin ass"... (Bale storming him).... It wasn't even close to being physical 😂😂😂
Everyone loses it. Not everyone hears it on an international level though. He's hardly the first person to go nuts at work.
I was never impressed with christian bale as an actor until I saw him in VICE - unbelievable!
How can you be angry at Bale hes a charming professional.
This is why I Love- out of Artist Respect- this Man; Christian Bale.
At least he took full responsibility for his own actions. Kudos to him. Now if Tom Cruise can learn from him.
No, don't just be sorry! Think for one f***ing second!
he is such classy guy.
Great actor and seems like a genuinely good guy.
Always good when someone who scavenges for rating someone's mistake also gives them a chance to redeem themselves.
One of the best actors around
This is the best way to be when you do something wrong. Wholeheartedly apologies and take it on the chin. It takes the sting out of it massively
He's actually a nice guy
great actor with a big heart
Why are these people trying to interrupt him??? They have an exclusive and they are trying to stop him every other minute!
I know! Thankfully he held his ground and carried on with his apology.
I hope he is sincere . The thing is , he is rich and a movie star , add to that he is good looking .... it is easy to say he was just arrogant . U never know but I think he is sincere in his apology ... there was no trace of “I am doing this cause that is the PC thing to do” .
We've all blown up when we are frustrated! It's all understandable
Yea just ask my dog I scream when he eats my food. Im done with him professionally
its all good christian. i still love u!!!!!!!!!
Still the best actor there is.
He accepted his mistake, and he said sorry, what do you want more?
Yes I dunno why everyone ignores the fact that he is a really dedicated actor and cares so much? Why don't they get he is so genuine? I mean surely everyone loses temper but not filmed as Bale was in the spotlight he really had the right to go nuts cuz guess what we are not in his shoes so why judge him? If people assume themselves real fans, then they shouldn't be ignorant!
well movies cost allot to watch these days so i say good on him for trying to get it right, not the fact he grew up and good mates with my father (name drop). top bloke
*I really do appreciate the man*
he's so perfect and this apology reminds me he's human, everybody makes mistakes everybody has those days, and that movie was awesome, every single of his movies. don't judge him leave bale alone
I can kinda relate to bale on the outbreak part as an artist. I of course am not an artist by any measure but i am really passionate about music and I'm a pretty decent guitarist though i say so myself. When i was younger i used to record tracks of improvisation pieces that I'd burn onto a disc and play in my car. While I was recording this one time, my mom knocked on my door and ruined literally a 5 minute absolutely flawless take. I got so enraged that i literally just lost my fucking mind. I felt like turning the whole god damn house upside down. Just thinking about still agitates me a little bit. To anyone else its totally understandable how it may come off as an overreaction, but god damn you can't recreate art created spontaneously in the moment! Shit I'm remembering it again.. fuck i fucking hated that god damn fucking day. Fucking hell.
is ok bale i did love TERMINATOR SALVATION
regardless my favorite been the original 1984 Terminator
hurts me how under rated salvation is, and how badly it needed a sequel part
Only human we all lose our shit sometimes.
I mean Christian is an A-list pro actor with PASSION....and those actors are under big pressure on million $ film sets where time means a lot of money.
if he just delivered an intense scene and the camera man says..."oh,sorry dude, forgot to press 'record' "...I can understand that somebody freaks out ...not just the actor...happens all the time
