You know how you sometimes read books about Hollywood – or maybe you don't; Lost in Showbiz probably reads too many books about Hollywood – which involve the leading characters behaving like people drowning in a sea of their own self regard? People behaving like borderline insane pricks of the first water?
Well, occasionally, those books don't lie. Here, courtesy of TMZ.com, is an audio file which showcases Terminator Salvation star Christian Bale's technique for dealing with those tiresome directors of photography who sometimes – perhaps because of their meaningless commitment to actually lighting a scene to the extent that an audience can vaguely discern what in God's name is going on in it - get in the way of an actor's concentration.
It is majestic. It is supra-majestic. I suggest you drop everything and remind yourself why the motion picture game is the most magical business in the whole wide world.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you: Christian Bale having his process disrupted.
