A sound clip of Bale berating Shane Hurlbut, the project’s director of photography, began circulating the Internet yesterday (February 2).
Riddled with insults and profanity, the recording doesn’t help Bale’s public image. The actor is playing John Connor in the upcoming film. In the video, you can hear Bale being accused of lacking professionalism and having completely ruined his scene with Bryce Dallas Howard.
Hurlbut’s excuses didn’t seem to help, and in fact spurred the British actor’s rage even more.
The sound clip, which was dated from last summer, was reportedly sent to an insurance company by one of the producers, who feared that the star may not finish the film.
