Holy Dosomeyoga, Batman!

I just heard about the Christian Bale freak out thing (if you don't know about it, it's easy to find on youtube) and I'm not happy about it.

The deal is that he was doing a really emotional, really tough scene, and the lights guy was walking around the set, not on camera, but in Bale's line of vision and more importantly, in the character's world. He went mental. Really, listen to it on youtube.

I enjoy not caring about celebrity lives -- what they're wearing, who they're fucking, what they're worshipping; those things mean nothing to me. But I was sad when I heard Christian Bale flipping out at the lights guy.

Because my problems are what they are, I can't imagine that Christian Bale has any real problems, problems worth losing his control. I wonder if his family life isn't very good?

He is a really successful actor. He is a really good actor. He's young. He's super fit. He has more money than anyone needs. ...why couldn't he control himself? And if this is a regular thing, why does he think it's okay?

If I'm lucky enough to be a successful actress, am I going to end up a diva?? I'm scared that it gets too easy to lose perspective and flip out.

Shouldn't an actor be able to concentrate on the scene no matter what's going on around them? But then, Christian Bale is a better actor than I'll ever be, so who am I to question his methods? If he thinks it's distracting having someone out of the world on set, then he's right.

But he didn't have to be such a dick about it. He should learn to meditate, or take anger management class or something.
