Christian Bale’s tirade was caught on tape

“The Dark Knight” star Christian Bale has a potty mouth as well as anger management issues.

On the set of his upcoming film “Terminator Salvation,” Bale went ballistic on the photography director when he accidentally walked on the set and interrupted a movie scene.

His tirade was caught on audio tape, and someone leaked it to the TMZ Web site this week. While cursing out the photographer, he uses the “F” word several times, and he tries to have the photographer fired.

Remember, last summer Bale was arrested in London accused of assaulting his mother and his sister. I thought the arrest was bogus because I didn’t think he would actually assault his mother and sister.

But after listening to the audio tape of how he went off on that photographer, I’m having second thoughts. Maybe those assault accusations were legit.
