TMZ posted leaked footage of Christian Bale\u2019s infamous meltdown on the set of \u2018Terminator Salvation\u2019 on 2nd February, 2009.\nTriggered by the film's Director Of Photography, Shane Hurlbut, repeatedly walking past his eyeline, Bale launched into an expletive-laden tirade that lasted more than three minutes, during which he threatened to smash up the lights, and have Hurlbut fired from the set.\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly dissect how Bale\u2019s star power immunized him against reasonable pushback; compare his defense with Prince Andrew\u2019s declarations of honour; and rank the rant against other notorious on-set \u2018freakouts\u2019 from the likes of Tom Cruise and David O.
