Christian Bale Arrested

The Guardian.uk reports:

"The actor Christian Bale, 34, was arrested on Sunday night after his mother and sister reported him to police for an alleged assault.

His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, are said to have gone to a police station in Hampshire to make the claim, which was subsequently referred to the Metropolitan police.

Bale, in London to attend the European premiere of superhero blockbuster The Dark Knight last night, was apprehended at the Dorchester hotel. The Welsh actor had been staying there when the alleged incident took place."

Details are few at this point in time, but appears that Christian Bale has been arrested for assaulting his mother and sister! True or not? Time will tell! Notoriously private, no one really has a full feel on how Bale is outside of his roles. Known to be intense and declared a bit creepy by our own Eric, some may not be too surprised by this news!

Regardless, stay tuned as I'm sure we'll have updates as they come to us.

Ya, not a surprise

This doesn't surprise me that much because as you said, I declared him "creepy" during Episode 35, lol.

Also, I've read speculation that he may have used steroids to prepare for "The Dark Knight", because he had just done the Machinist where he basically became anorexic for the role. The amount of muscle he put on in a matter of months has some speculating that he may have had some help.

It would certainly explain all the rage.

Of course, he could just have an estrange relationship with said relatives, and they're now trying to make him look bad while he's in the spotlight.

I was listening to the podcast today and laughed when you mentioned about how creepy and intense Bale is in interviews knowing he was just recently arrested for assault. I wonder if the assault was that he chased his sister and mother with a chainsaw naked? ^_^

After listening to the podcast you probably also know that none of us would mind being chased by a naked Christian Bale, chainsaw or not...

Correction

Reports now are saying that he was questioned, released and has not been charged, and that the altercation was apparently "verbal". There is a charge in the UK (apparently) that is something along the lines of "verbal assault".

I think the better question is, who would have the nerve to piss off Batman?

Mom is a clown?

Apparently, Christian Bale's mom is a part time clown. No foolsies. So I'm thinking this was some sort of post traumatic stress reaction based on Heath Ledger's death. lol.

In all seriousness though, the more I read about this story the more I think he didn't do anything all that wrong besides yelling at his mom. She's starting to sound like a mega-bitch anyways.

Agreed. From what I heard it sounds like his mom is a looney and was trying to cause trouble for him the night before his premiere.
