Intermittent explosive disorder. Anger issues. Mom who was a circus clown. Gloria Steinem's stepson. Yeah. That's right. Christian Bale. Too good to let go. A brief look at Mr. Bale's Wiki is all it takes to put together why he is a nutjob. His mom was a circus clown and his stepmom is the author of the "One Free Grope" theory of sexual harassment.Honestly, should we be surprised at this outburst? He is a movie star. He is the leading man. The serious actor. The mercurial artist. He is supposed to get angy and drop the F Bomb on us lesser mortals who populate his world.
I would be more surprised if he did something decent and nice and did not use it as a shameless form of self promotion. (I am talking to you Bono. You too Brangelina. I got your numbers.)
As the Clownstain, I have a helluva time condemning this behavior, because as a serious celebrity in some circles, I love to tear someone a new dirt chute. Someone unwittingly walks into my field of vision, I chew their ass right off.
Bullshit. Where is the civility? If I was in the public eye as much as Christian Bale, I would be nice. George Clooney nice. Henry Winkler nice. Willie Nelson nice. Or maybe not. Maybe the childish, angry, spoiled shitheel behavior actually adds some street cred to his mythos. Maybe being an ill tempered wretch makes him more commercially viable. Or he ought to just clean his act up and treat individuals on the set like the human beings with rights and dignity.

Mean Hollywood, the Clownstain is coming for you.
