Christian Bale realized he acted like an American Psycho and is apologizing for it.

Bale apologized for his 4-minute verbal attack where he dropped the F-bomb 36 times at a crew member on the set of Terminator Salvation.

“I have no confusion whatsoever — I was out of order, beyond belief,” Bale said Friday on “The Kevin & Bean Show” on L.A.’s KROQ 106.7.

“I acted like a punk. I regret that,” he continues. “There is nobody who has heard that tape that has been hit harder by it than me. It is inexcusable.”

In the audio, Bale threatens to beat up the crew member and quit the movie if he’s not fired.

It seems to us that Christian has lost it! If you remember, Bale was also accused of assaulting his mother and sister in London while there for the premiere of The Dark Knight

We’ve lost all respect for him and think he has a serious problem. Do yourself a favor Christian - get some help, you definitely need it!

TMZ obtained a tape of Christian Bale going ballistic on a poor photography director who accidentally walked into a scene Bale filmed for Terminator Salvation.

Bale totally loses it and screams and swears at the poor guy in a rage of anger. The photography director repeatedly apologizes, but that doesn’t stop Bale from threatening to quit the film if the man isn’t fired.

Film execs sent the tape to the insurance company that insured the film in case Bale bailed.

What an f-ing a-hole! They should have fired Bale!

It was just a few weeks ago that Christian Bale was arrested in London on charges of assault against his mom and sister, but now British authorities have confirmed that he will not be facing any charges.

“We can today confirm that we have advised the Metropolitan Police Service that the actor Christian Bale should not face any charges,” the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement released today.

Apparently there was “insufficient evidence to afford a realistic prospect of conviction” and “the police have been advised that no further action should be taken against Mr. Bale.”

Looks like this is Christian’s lucky year!

Christian Bale still continued to dodge questions today about assault allegations made against him by his sister and mother at a Dark Knight press conference in Tokyo.

“It’s a private matter,” is all the Batman star told the crowd of reporters when asked about the allegations.

Meanwhile, Bale also spoke about working with the late Heath Ledger, saying “in between takes, I’d be laughing my head off because I was liking how much it seemed to be working between us.”

I’m surprised he can still look at people and reporters with a straight face after these allegations! Perhaps he learned a few things from his role in American Psycho!

Christian Bale addressed reporters today and briefly spoke about his recent arrest in connection to an assault allegation filed by his mother and sister.

“It’s a deeply personal matter,” the Dark Knight star said at at a press conference for the movie in Barcelona, Spain. “I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter.”

Bale spent four hours in a London police station on Tuesday and was released pending further inquiry. He denied the allegations and cooperated voluntarily, according to a statement released by his lawyer.

Last night Bale walked the red carpet in Barcelona for his film’s Spanish premiere with wife Sibi by his side. He avoided reporters, but he did sign autographs and pose for photos with fans for about a half hour.

Maybe Bale isn’t guilty of the allegations, because he sure isn’t acting like a man who has something to hide!

There is a new report that Christian Bale had an outburst just days before he allegedly pushed his mother and we can report a similar incident from his time here in Chicago while filming Public Enemies.

Spies told TMZ that when Bale was on the set last Friday shooting Terminator 4 at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico he had an outburst after a director screwed up a shot.

Bale allegedly went ballistic, screaming “I will kick your ass” along with other choice remarks. Several hundred people heard the outburst — including Military Police — which was described as “intense.”

Well, Bale displayed similar behavior a few months ago in Chicago when he was here filming Public Enemies alongside Johnny Depp.

On one occasion, when Bale was signing autographs for a group of autograph hunters, he asked one person what he planned to do with the photos. The man decided to give him an honest answer and told Bale that he planned to sell them. With that, Bale told him to “get the f**k out of my face”.

That is the only time that we know of Bale going off on a fan in Chicago. From what we heard, he was overall pleasant and generous with his fans. We think Bale is a good person who hopefully just needs to take some anger management classes! Or, xanax!

Christian Bale is denying the allegation he assaulted his family members, according to a statement released by his attorney, Simon Smith. The statement reads as follows:

“Christian Bale attended a London police station today, on a voluntary basis, in order to assist with an allegation that had been made against him to the police by his mother and sister. Mr. Bale who denies the allegation, co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and has left the station without any charge being made against him by the police. At this time, there will be no further comment by Mr. Bale.”

This whole thing is just so bizarre!

Christian Bale was arrested today over claims he attacked his mother and sister before appearing at the launch of his new blockbuster film.

The Dark Knight star is alleged to have lashed out at mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, in his suite at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday in London.

The women went to the police station yesterday and made their allegations formal.

Sharon told a British paper that it was only a “family situation”.

“It is an extremely sensitive situation. There is nothing more I can say,” she added.

Bale went to the Belgravia police station and has already been released.

If this happened last week I would HAVE to say that this was a publicity stunt! However, now that seems impossible. I can’t believe that Bale would attack his 61 year-old mother! WTF! If the allegations are true - that man is no Batman in real life!

The stars of the Dark Knight were all smiles at the UK premiere last night. Can you blame them? They made history by breaking the record for the highest profiting opening box office weekend to date.

Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christopher Nolan and Aaron Eckhart all flew across the pond for the premiere.

    

The Dark Knight premiered last night in NYC and the flick is already getting rave reviews and talk of Academy Awards. I don’t doubt it!

The movie’s stars, Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman were all there to support their movie and walk the red carpet. Perhaps the movie’s biggest star, Heath Ledger, was greatly missed.

Also attending the event were celebs such as Lauren Conrad, Emile Hirsch, Karina Smirnoff, Blake Lively and Regis Philbin.

The Boots Girls are attending the Chicago premiere on Friday night and we CAN’T wait!!!
