Remember this? Well, Christian Bale is talking about this little “misstep”, basically blaming everything on the trust he put in the sound guys (what?). He’s become really good at passing the buck – why can’t he just take responsibility, say he was an ass, and move on? Here’s what he had to say:
‘I mean, hey, I did what I did,’ the 35-year-old told Total Film magazine.
‘I’m not hiding that. I went overboard. But there is an essential trust and it’s not a tacit one, it’s a verbal one, a spoken one, which is every sound guy says “We are not only not recording, we are not even listening.”
I mean, hey, I did what I did. I’m not hiding that. I went overboard.
So, well, there goes that. I do stress though, it’s not in anyway a trust that’s there to cover up bad behaviour. It’s not about that.’
‘It’s an essential trust that’s needed for creativity because you’ll often try things and they’re abysmal, but if you have a trust there then you’ll give it a shot,’ he added.
‘Sometimes those things end up being wonderful and 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.’
But he admitted: ‘I’m not making any excuses. I’m not whining. Hey listen, I did it an, it’s in public space. Hey, I take the consequences for it.’
Oh, well – I’ll still watch him,a nd so will you. I hope he apologized to the poor guys he was chewing out though!
