Christian Bale, the lead actor in the latest installment of the Batman “franchise” has been arrested after allegedly “lashing out” at his mother and sister at Park Lane’s Dorchester Hotel.

Welsh actor Christian Bale in his role as
Patrick Bateman in the film American Psycho.
The role where he uttered the words “don’t just stare at it, eat it!”

Awesome.

It’s quite weird that he played Patrick Bateman in his most famous role and now he plays Batman.

Weird. It’s like he loses a letter every time.

Who knows, maybe he’ll be “Baman” in his next role.

(not my best)

The Telegraph filed this report:

His mother Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, are said to have gone to a police station in Hampshire to make the allegation, which was subsequently referred to the Metropolitan Police.

A Met Police spokesman said: “A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.

“He currently remains in custody.”

Despite the alleged incident and report, Bale was allowed to attend the first European screening of the new Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight in London’s West End on Monday night uninterrupted.

Bale was joined on the red carpet by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who plays love interest Rachel Dawes, and Sir Michael Caine who plays Bruce Wayne’s faithful butler and father figure Alfred.

The film took a record $158.3 million in its opening weekend at the US box office overtaking Spiderman 3, which took $151.1 million.

There has been quite a lot of drama (skandaal) surrounding the new Batman movie. Heath Ledger obviously died before the movie launched (guaranteed Oscar), and there was also a stunt actor who died during filming. It is not known whether or not Christian Bale had anything to do with the stunt man’s death. I certainly had nothing to do with it whatsoever and would like to take this opportunity to state that as fact. I am more than happy to be taken in for questioning and will gladly take a polyurethane graph.

 

Test.

UPDATE:

 

Christian Bale has been released. Check latest here. I love the way those police statements never mention the name of the person. They go like this “A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault.”

Hmm. Cryptic. Can I ask one thing? Did the man look at all like a bat?

Hah! I’m on fire today! Also in that article is mention of the fact that his father grew up in South Africa.

Nice.

So we’ve got him AND Roger Federer.

We’ve basically got everyone.

Everyone is, essentially, South African.

South Africa – The Global Village.

They should rename the internet – “South Africa.”

Google should become Googlethu.
