Speaking out for the first time, Sharon tells us how the Hollywood star has lost control
Monday, 16 February 2009
A recording of Christian Bale delivering a foul-mouthed tirade against a film crew member became an online hit last week. But friends and family fear it’s a sign that the actor is in crisis.
Speaking exclusively to NOW, his eldest sister Sharon, 41, says: ‘He was never like that when we were growing up. It’s very sad and perhaps he needs help.’
The shocking outburst, which contains 39 F-words in three minutes, is the second episode in six months to raise questions over the multimillionaire’s temper.
Last July, Christian, 35, was arrested and bailed after a furious bust-up with his mum Jenny, 61, and Sharon in his suite at London hotel The Dorchester before the UK premiere of The Dark Knight.
That occurred just a week after his rant on the New Mexico set of Terminator Salvation against the film’s director of photography Shane Hurlbut.
‘It was very frightening – not dissimilar to the rant that has just come out,’ says Sharon. ‘Things were written that my mother or I started it by asking him for money, but that’s not true. I don’t know why he did it. He just came in raving. It was horrible.
‘His outburst was in front of me and my three children, who are all under 12. It’s so out of character for him to have done that, especially in front of the children. I reported him to the police to try to get him some help, but I regret that now.’
No charges were ever brought against Christian and police let him out in time to attend the premiere. Sharon hasn’t spoken to him since. ‘I wrote him a letter afterwards, but he hasn’t replied. It’s really sad. Both rants happened in July last year, so perhaps he was just really stressed.’
A close friend of the actor agrees, telling NOW: ‘I know Christian well and I’m completely on his side. He’s very kind and very level-headed. Being the rich and famous one in his family puts a lot of pressure on him.’

LOL!! No one is ever going to know the full truth. First, sissy and mommy Bale were alone in the hotel room, that's what they said back in July, now mysteriously the children have appeared in the room with them. Who is to be believed? That's probably why the police dropped the charges, they were confused too. And she/the public wonders why Bale has so much anger? I would too. And she wonders why he never answered her letter? I wouldn't either.
Christian Bale's sister says, "I reported him to the police to try to get him some help, but I regret that now." Link below says: "Christian Bale's mum: We didn't call police." Huh.
She also stated at first that her and the mom was in the room alone, now mysteriously her children have appeared with them...
I know right.
This is a very alarming side of the celebrity and the world he/she live in. When someone changes like Christian Bale has there is a very definite reason why. Perhaps the death of his father triggered off old pentup anger and he now needs to lash out his nearest and dearest because he cannot go into the painful area of death or loss of many things. Perhaps far back in his childhood. Anger is a coverup for depression and sadness and its the easier emotion to show than sadness. I have a relative who has the exact symptoms which have surfaced after his father's death & he goes for the whole family and withdraws from them. But won't get help.
