Celebrity method actor and Batman star Christian Bale has been bailed by police following his arrest over allegations he assaulted his mother and sister. The Welsh born actor denies the allegations, which supposedly took place in a suite at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.

Bale was in London to promote the latest instalment of the Batman franchise ‘The Dark Knight’. I am looking forward to seeing this as I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Batman Begins’, a film that raised the bar on superhero movies. I will be paying a visit to the Genesis Cinema on Mile End Road to see it next week.

Bale is a strange man and takes his method to extremes. Anyone who has seen ‘The Machinist’ can see to what extent he takes his transformation in the name of acting. In Spielberg’s ‘Empire of the Sun’ he even makes himself look like a little boy – quite amazing.

I like Bale, not only do I think he is a very good actor I also think he is totally bonkers, a positive trait in any celebrity. In interviews, and even in person, Bale will change his voice, accent and persona, to ascertain that he remains in character.

There is little of the real Bale on show and I believe this may be the reason for his recent arrest. Bale has been filming the latest part to the Terminator franchise. In ‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins’ Bale plays the 2018 incarnation of John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators.

Bale’s alleged recent family ruckus was just a symptom of his method. His actor’s brain led him to believe his mother and sister to be Terminators from the future, sent to destroy the saviour of humanity and annihilate mankind. Fair enough if you ask me, I think the same thing when I visit my family. Bloody Terminators, they get flipping everywhere.
