Christian Bale apologized for going on profanity-laced tirade against a movie photographer on the set of a film.

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.

Bale uttere the “F Word” at him more than 30 times, and it was caught on audio tape.

In an interview with KROQ-FM, Bale said “I have no confusion whatsoever. I was out of order beyond belief.  I was way out of order. I acted like a punk. I regret that. And there is nobody that has heard that tape that is hit harder by it then me.  I make no excuses for it, it is inexcusable. And I hope that that is absolutely clear.”

“I’m not comfortable yet with this notion of being a movie star.  I’m an actor and I don’t quite know how to handle the movie star thing. The thing that disturbs me so much is that I’ve heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think I’m better than anybody else.”

“Nothing could be farther from the truth. I’m a lucky. I don’t want to swear  I’m a lucky S.O.B. I never forget that and that is why I put so much into what I do. Please, if anybody ever sees that I really am thinking that I’m better than anybody else, stick a fork in my backside, turn me over, I will be done. That is not me.”
