I don't get how people can say how surprised they are. Unless you're a good friend of Bale's, how can you know what he's like? He may have been in good films and appear nice on public appearances, but everybody puts on a good face when they're being watched by thousands of people. Same with most actors. Maybe he just has a short fuse. Maybe it was a bad day. Maybe he's a total asshole. We don't know. I just think what he did was stupid. It's just a shot. Do another take, jesus christ. If he was developing a cure for AIDS or something and the guy knocked over the test tubes, then maybe.

It hasn't lowered my opinion of his character because I never had one. To me, he's just an actor. I have an opinion of his characters and his acting ability. Nothing else.
