Apparently, Christian Bale is unable to control his temper or at least proved so by getting himself involved in a not so pleasant incident once again.
A recording that was released on cyberspace on Tuesday showed the 35-year-old “The Dark Knight” star verbally assaulting the director of photography of “Terminator: Salvation,” the actor’s upcoming film. The tape captures the actor, who is best known for his portrayal of Batman in the Christopher Nolan-helmed productions, swearing and yelling at Shane Hurlbut because the latter had allegedly interrupted a very important scene of the sci-fi film.
Throughout the tirade, the member of the film crew is criticized for “walking around in the background” and thus breaking off a scene between Christian Bale’s persona, John Connor, and the character’s wife, played by Bryce Dallas Howard.
Christian Bale can be heard on the tape demanding the film’s director of photography to leave the set. “You and me, we’re done professionally,” the much talked about recording captures the actor saying. In spite of the fact that the F-word filled insults last for more than three minutes, the film’s associate producer, Bruce Franklin, defended the star by telling E! Online that the scene had really been the “most emotional” moment in the entire production.
This is not Christian Bale’s first anger-related problem, as the star was arrested in July for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister. In addition, the actor’s temper may actually have a strong impact on his future Academy Award consideration.

Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson wowed fans at the second National Movie Awards last night as she stopped to chat and sign autographs.
The 18-year-old thrilled the crowd in a stunning white, Victorian-style, Alexander McQueen gown with a jewel encrusted bust.
And the rising star, who won an award for Best Female Performance at last year's awards, appeared pleased to talk to fans and have her photograph taken before heading inside at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Award nominee Meryl Streep and Kylie Minogue however snubbed the red carpet at last night's Awards.
A crowd of teenagers wearing t-shirts with slogans such as ‘Meryl is my Momma’ and clutching flowers for their heroine were left disappointed as the Mamma Mia! star failed to appear.
Instead she and pop princess Kylie were sneaked in another door at the Royal Festival Hall.
All four male nominees – Pierce Brosnan, Will Smith, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale – failed to appear at the ceremony.
And the leads from Sex and the City nominated in the best comedy category were also absent, sending Chris Noth – aka Mr Big – in their place.
“I have no idea why they’re not here,” said Noth. “They’re probably all busy, I had a window and I love London so I wanted to come.”
Stars who did make the carpet included Jason Statham, Eddie Izzard and the child stars of Prince Caspian, the latest Narnia film.
Nicole Kidman stepped out for the first time since becoming a mum - and met ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus, 63. The Aussie beauty, 41, gave birth to Sunday Rose in July.
Olympic gold medallist Chris Hoy raced down the red carpet in a kilt and Samuel L Jackson was sporting his trademark cap as he arrived.
Emma Watson said she was looking forward to presenting an award.
“It was such fun to be here last year,” she said. “And I won an award which made it extra special.”
Eddie Izzard, at the event to present the best comedy award, said he has enjoyed working with Tom Cruise on their new film Valkyrie.
“It was scary because on my first day I had a six page scene to shoot with him. But he was very polite and very Tom Cruiseish.”

Batman star Christian Bale will not face charges relating to an alleged assault last month on his mother and sister, prosecutors said Thursday, suggesting their decision was based in part on the family members' wishes.
Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to afford a "realistic prospect of conviction," and ordered police not to take any further action.
The service said in a statement that while it "treats all incidents which take place in a domestic context seriously, it is important that the views of complainants are also taken into account when making decisions in such cases."
Bale, who denies the allegation, said through his spokeswoman, Jennifer Allen, that he was relieved the issue had been settled.
The actor "hopes to put the matter firmly behind him" and will be providing no further comment, Allen said in a statement released by Bale's lawyers.
His family had previously declined to comment, saying the issue was a personal matter.
British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister told police he assaulted them at his suite at the luxury Dorchester Hotel on July 20, a day before he attended the European premiere of his film "The Dark Knight." Bale has denied the accusation.
The Sun tabloid reported that police waited a day to arrest Bale so he could attend the film's premiere in London's Leicester Square. He was questioned for several hours at a police station before being released on bail.
The Wales-born actor first made a splash in 1987 as the child star of Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun." He has played dark and sometimes sinister roles in such films as "American Psycho," "The Machinist" and "Batman Begins."
In "The Dark Knight," Bale reprises the role of wealthy playboy Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego Batman, a brooding vigilante superhero still scarred by the murder of his parents.
Bale, 34, lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife, Sibi Blazic, and their young daughter.

Christian Bale has denied allegations of assault made by his mother and sister, hours after he was arrested, questioned by London police and released.
The 34-year-old star of "The Dark Knight" spent four hours at a police station, but was not charged. British media had reported that Bale's mother and sister complained he had assaulted them at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Sunday night.
Representatives for Bale released a statement today denying that an assault took place.
A woman thought to be Bale's sister Sharon told reporters "it's a family matter" from her home in Corfe Mullen, 110 miles southwest of London. A man who answered the door at the home of his mother Jenny Bale in nearby Bournemouth said she did not want to comment.
