TMZ.com has the audio up here.
Kevin and Bean from KROQ received a surprise call from Christian Bale this morning during Ralph’s entertainment segment. I thought it was going to be another segment where they were going to make fun of Bale’s outburst, but it turned out to be the real Christian Bale. Now we get to hear his side of the story.
Bale said that he’s not used to being a movie star and still thinks of himself as an actor first. And when he gets into his role, he really gets into it. He was talking about his character of John Conner, who has a crazy side of him just like his mother. There’s a scene in the movie where it shows that, and that’s the scene that he took it too far when Shane, the DP interrupted his concentration, and he became half John Conner and half Christian Bale.
He said that he wasn’t bullying Shane, because Shane is a big dude who used to play football and that most of the stuff he said about wanting Shane fired is just “hot air.” He later explains to Kevin, Bean, and Ralph that he apologized to Shane that very day and they still worked on the movie together for one more month. They even got in contact last week and Bale saw some of Shane’s work and he said that it looks good.
Well pretty much, Bale said that please forgive his action, and that he owns up to it. He said that it’s no excuse to act that way, even if you’re a celebrity. He also mentions that don’t look at him as a star, but as a human, and that everyone makes mistakes. He asks Kevin, Bean and Ralph if they ever had a bad moment, lost their temper, and had regretted later on in their life, and Ralph replied, “Yeah, all the time with Kevin and Bean.”

Another reason why i think Christian Bale is awesome! The reason he gives is good too, just look at Heath Ledger, or any other actor/actress.
It takes a good person to man up to there mistake, but contrary to what people think, celebrities are human too ;P

I think this was really very big of him, considering this happened six months ago and he had already apologized to the whole crew (the only ones he should have had to apologize to). I believe Christian Bale is one of the greatest actors I have ever watched, and to some peoples “horror” I think I can understand why he did what he did. It is hard enough just living one life in the real world, can you imagine the stress of having to be a totally different character 17 to 20 hours of the day, and making that character seem real….I have nothing but admiration and respect for the man and can’t wait to see all his movies….

Thanks CB for apologizing, but we cant help notice that to do so also fits your career and financial agendas seamlessly “Nelita” aka Christian Bale’s somewhat disguised publicist.
All in all, I am glad this added a new reason to put his flawless face in the news. I think his explosion just made him more sexy. twas a refreshing contrast to all the spineless chimpanzees flooding Los Angeles.
