Christian Bale Covers GQ June 2009

Christian Bale crosses his arms on the June 2009 cover of GQ. Highlights:

On unleashing the Rant on the set of Termination Salvation: “I’d definitely say that that guy who was yelling was at least half John Connor, and the rest was Christian Bale.”

On using his Americanized John Connor accent off-camera too: “I do that because I’m just not very good at switching between two voices. If I had the talent to turn it on and off on cue, I would. But I don’t, so I have to maintain. Otherwise I’m aware that I’m “doing an accent” whenever I’m filming, instead of just speaking. Hey, listen, I don’t make any excuses. None of it is excusable. You know, I feel I already said everything about this that needs to be said when I called up the radio station.”

On when he fell off the vegetarianism bandwagon: “I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the
biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.”

Termination Salvation opens in theaters this Friday, May 22.

Check out the full Christian feature at GQ.com. Check it out, it ends pretty hilariously.

P.S. If you’re wondering why Christian’s left pointer finger has a bandage on it, he “cut off the tip” during a bike crash and had it surgically reattached several days after.

I’m done with this *******. I don’t care if his movies come with free handjobs. He’s abusive trash with money.

@Fabia:
who sow wind will harvest storm.so stop crying and enjoy the storm.i do.

His intensity is a pile of overrated ****. Everybody out-acts him.

Bale=sad, mentally harassed, hung-up human being.

@squaraus:
human being at least.(hit it,it is just a fly. :-) )

#10, ITA. Neither was professional or right.

@leto: No, simply ignore it.

All I can think of when I see his mug, is his role in American Psycho.

Accents are cool. He has a good accent.

He is for real.

I am sick &tired to see how many pathetic, jealous and spiteful losers who never live their own lives well are commnting here!

Mind Your Own Business if you don’t like CB or you need to see the shrimps instead.

He is so devoted and one of the greatest actors ever .

Anyway, CB will never care about any nasty comments by such losers !

@Jolipitshit: Starting from you. :)

@squaraus
Too poor to see a psychiatrist

@Jolipitshit: Oh! So u think I’m Christian Bale? … ahahaha :) …. No I’m different: If I need a shrink, I’d go before all the world knows that!

@squaraus:
good argument 4 someone who is insane.

@Jolipitshit:
realy poor and insane people save their money and blame it on the lightman(LOL).

Haha. What a nut.

i think Christian bale is a awsome actor and most of you would not hate him if his rant was never released. and everybody has their off days and on ones. he has said he is sorry and what is done is done.
his scene must have been pretty intense for him to get mad over a mess up.

This rant was so blown out of proportion. It was nothing really and people are still making a monster out of it…. losers.

A lot of actors did way worse and are all put in pedestals like gods. Johnny Depp and George Clooney, for example. That Bale rant was nothing compared to what those two did, especially Depp. No one complains about those two…

Bale is a great actor. Too bad he is known mostly for batman. People that say he is bad clearly didn’t see all his movies.

I watched TS. Gosh Worthington is being so overrated. He got the role that has more screen time and perhaps a better arc but he just sucks as an actor. Worthington is as good as Steven Seagal or Arnold. People like him because of his brawl, but he is completely wooden!! The guy had just one facial expression the whole movie!
