Comments on The Weirdest Celebrity Arrest in Recent History...

He seemed like such a nice young man...

David, much like you assulted the word "this" that you spelled "theis"?

Will he make...bale?

Ba-dum-bum...

yawn, yawn, yawn. aren't there more pressing issues in the world today?

And the Bale pun @3 is amazingly not the worst joke in the thread so far.

@2, well, buttmunch, whilst Herr Doktor Schmader may have assaulted the word "this" as "theis," you made a perfect clown of yourself by spelling "assaulted" as "assulted."

Go directly to jail.

Before we go any further, I need to say that Empire of the Sun sucked.

Now that we've dealt with that, please continue.

a lot about naught. who HASN'T assaulted their mum & sis?

The bitch probably deserved it. I mean when you are the mother of Christian Fucking Bale you do what you are told.

I have a pal that was just working on Terminator 4 with Bale an said him and his wife were super rad nice people. So I'm going to say that he was obviously pushed too hard and the victims deserved what they got.

I'm SO kidding.

He's still Yummy McDreamboat on a raft of vanila frosting.

If I went all the dang way to London to be thoroughly overshadowed by my dead costar, I would certainly ask my loved ones to charge me with some crime or other.

Here's the 'l' I left out of vanilla.

and no tiffany @4..wake the fuck up. there are NOT more pressing issues in the world today.

I think @10 has the real story - there's a Terminator 4? And Christian Bale is John Connor? And it's directed by . . . McG?????

For a half-ass reenactment, watch the ending of Laurel Canyon. But seriously, I'm already on his side.

Ambien and wine?

Anyone surprised Mr. Poe is on the side of a guy who assaulted two old women?

40 isn't old, poppy. You're such a sexist.

calm down, marjory!

my theory: maybe mom and sis said something snarky about his late father, david bale. it was dad who raised the kids, not mom. or maybe everyone was drunk. none of us know, as christian, mom and sis ain't talkin', and aren't likely to in the near future.

Anyone over 22 is old and wrinkly.

@20: I'm pretty sure being drunk and/or hearing something snarky isn't a good excuse for fucking BATMAN to attack two ancient wrinkly women.

1)There are reports are that it was VERBAL assault and not physical. Which is bad, but not as bad.
2)Fun Fact: Gloria Steinam is Bale's STEP-mom, (who wasn't the one assaulted)
3)Empire of the Sun is flawed but it has some great moments.
4)OT: Estelle Getty has apparently died after battling dementia for many years...

Misspelled "this" fixed! Carry on.

@15 Yeah! From what I've heard it'll be crap, or it'll be really good. They set off the largest bomb in the SW since Trinity and I went to the middle of the desert to watch it. It was pretty awesome, the cameramen in the helicopters diving into the flames- one of the cooler things I've ever seen live.

But apparently he remembered all the crew's names who had worked on 3:10 to Yuma (also filmed in NM)- even the pee-on PA's. So everyone loves him for remembering and being so nice.

"Bale was born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, in 1974. His mother was a circus clown and dancer and the actor grew up in a hippy environment."

Maybe he thought she was the Joker.

poppy @22, I'm pretty sure everyone will agree it was a case of unendurable provocation, when all the non-wrinkly 40-year-old commenters here get together and beat your punk ass.

Awww, Estelle. :(

We should've all seen this coming when he rebelled against Robert Duvall in "Newsies."
