TMZ released an audio sample of Bale loosing his temper on the set of his recent movie Terminator Salvation. The language was definitely "R Rated. " His outburst illustrates how anger can escalate and how difficult it is to regulate one's self once the adrenaline is going. The physiological experience can carry an individual beyond the point of logical reasoning.
The qualities that make for a good actor like Bale are: vulnerability, ability to take risks, and the skill to express a variety of emotions consistently and quickly. An actor's day might require him to shoot a raging fist fight in the morning and a sensitive love scene in the afternoon. Scenes are not shot sequentially which requires the actor to bounce between many different emotions . An actor must maintain an incredible amount of concentration to keep the energy and quality of the performance consistent from take to take.
Unfortunately this ability to recreate a variety of different emotions on command can have a personal impact on intimate and work relationships. Ultimately, regardless of your profession or circumstances; having impulse control and the ability to understand what triggers your anger, can be beneficial to maintaining safe and satisfying relationships.
Anger is a natural reaction to frustration, fear, or lack of control. When anger turns to rage and the individual no longer can control his or her behavior, it can cause irreparable damage to themselves and their relationships.
The American Psychological Association has this helpful information on controlling anger before it controls you.
Bale has since apologized publicly for his outburst on a KROQ 10 radio interview, saying "I was out of order, beyond belief,I acted like a punk."
