Something To Make Your Frozen Heart Melt And Drip Out Of Your Body

Christian Bale continued to spread his niceness around the other day when he called up Zach Guillot, an 8-year-old boy with leukemia, and spoke to him for 8 minutes about Batman and other stuff. Zach's family recorded the conversation and put it on his Facebook page. You'll be even more impressed with this when I tell you that during this call, Christian Bale put a PA in a headlock, drop kicked a light, wrote a 9-page "we're fucking done professionally" letter to the Director of Cinematography on his current movie, growled at his mom, told his sister to eat a bowl of dicks in sign language and then served his sister an actual bowl of dicks. Is there anything Christian Bale can't do?

Aww, <3 me some Christian Bale, even his outburst on set was entertaining (though yes, would have been better not to tear the guy a new one).

Okay, so you had me with the first half of your paragraph. Not so much in the second half. Time to let go of the BS.

Christian does more in one week than most people, especially the over privileged, do in a span of years. He and his wife do much charity work for children, as well as support many ecological and animal interest groups. Just last week he took Chen GuangCheng and his family to Disneyland in LA. Just an average day in the life and....when it's part of your life, it's part of who you are.

He is an inspiration.

this made me tear up, he made a difference in this little boys life. As an elementary music teacher, I'm lucky enough to see the children I teach smile from ear to ear. They love music, and I love seeing the smiles on their faces when they're really enjoying the moment. However, I can't imagine if one of my kids got so sick with a serious disease, and ended up in the hospital. I honestly can say I'm thankful for people like Christian who will just take a moment out of their life to make a child feel better. Even if it helps the child forget for a moment how sick they are, that's huge.

You know who also does this stuff to the next level? Ron Pearlman. He visited a child with leukemia. He got dressed in costume and full 4 hour makeup application as Hellboy. Afterwords they did the little boy up as Hellboy too and did a photoshoot. He is just a great person all around.

Bale visited the kids in hospital after the Aurora Theatre shooting too.

__________________________________________________

I remember reading that, big kudos to Ron.

Another to mention is Johnny Depp, he donned the Capn' Sparrow gear and turned up at a hospital to entertain some kids. The man can do no wrong.

Good on Bale for this.

Adding to the info on Bale's explosion on set years ago...a friend has a family member who was on set that day. Christian was trying to film his scene but that jerk he yelled at kept talking causing distraction & redo's. After a constant noise from the guy Bale went off. Another mention too is the day Bale was in the public spat with his family it was over his mother and sister demanding money from him. Christian is said to have told them off for trying to bully, guilt him into paying their way.

We were in Williamsburg, Virginia when Christian was filming, The New World. He was very nice. He talked to the extras even staying back in at the church instead of going back immediately to the inn. Everyone connected with the film who still work in Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown talk well of him.

A tidbit more, those in Virginia who met Colin Farrell do not like him. He use to cut his fingernails at the bar inside the Willamsburg Inn. Colin pissed outside in the bushes and screwed constantly in common areas.

The "lowly PA" Bale went apeshit on was actually Shane Hurlbut, Director of Photography on Terminator Salvation. He has been widely reported to be a creative genius, but also a petty, ball busting asshole. He walked across Bale's sightline, not once but a few times, and after being warned Bale went off on him. The guy had been in movies for over 20 years at that point, he didn't like Bale (it was reported later) and this was his passive/aggressive way of giving him the finger. He got it back tenfold.

Several of the crew members he worked with on that set and others HATED him, and said so later. From Radar

"Bale became a hero to cast and crew after his tirade against Hurlbut, who was widely despised, sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Hurlbut was a condescending (bleep) to everyone,” a source told us. His favorite line was “Why don’t you go stab yourself in the head, you idiot.”

Another source from Defamer said

”I was on the crew of another film Shane was recently DP on and he was despised. Crew hated him – actors had hard time. He would tell his crew, if he was displeased with them, to “Stab themselves in the heart and die.” or “Blow yourself up.” On this film he would constantly re-light when actors got to set and tweak during takes – it was bad".

Yeah, that DOP really sounds like a fucking saint to me.

Kate773 - Yup. He also said he acted like a total punk and didn't make excuses for what he did. Team Senor Bale! I think what he did for this little boy was very kind and I think he took the time to talk to the boy on his level - explaining why his voice was different, asking about his brother, etc.

Good for him.
***************
It hurts because you let your black heart beat for an asshole who can't even send you a "P.S. I'm about to fuck a hole that doesn't belong to you" text before fucking said hole that doesn't belong to you.

Don't forget that after his rant, he called a radio station to publicly apologize and even said to go ahead and give him all the shit about it deemed necessary, that he deserved it.

I absolutely love Empire of the Sun. He was amazing, he was just a little kid and he pulls off an amazing performance. I can't believe he wasn't nominated for anything after that. I bawl at the end every single time.

Sorry, I still think he's an asshole. I'm thinking the tirade on the set is much more the norm for him than this display.

--------------------------------------------------

Hear, hear mike. The thing about the on set rant was that he didn't scream at the director or DOP or his castmates - he screamed at some lowly PA who wasn't in a position to fight back and he knew it. Makes him a gutless little bitch in my book.

*****************************************
Honestly, I've read that the "lowly PA" was a pain in the ass known as someone who liked to disrupt scenes with purposely shitty timing, and that a lot of people on the set found him annoying and were quite pleased when Bale called him out. Boo-fucking-hoo for the poor PA. ;)

We'll never know for sure what the deal was, I suppose.

That was nice of him. Justin Bieber, too, made a girl's day by "marrying" her on Twitter and spending a day in the hospital with her and her family. Sadly the girl later died of brain cancer but he made her really happy in her final moments:

I love that he does stuff like this. I wouldn't want to work with the guy given his assholery when he's there, but I get that some people are totally different at home than they are at work. I went to a company party for my husband last weekend and I regularly get joking-but-not apologies on my choice of man and comments about I must be a saint to deal with him at home.
