Amazing director Ron Howard called in to the The Howard Stern Show this morning to talk about many things -- his actress daughter, Frost/Nixon (up for an Oscar), Hollywood life and hyper-intense actor Chritian Bale "episode" on the set of "terminator: Salvation." From Gather:
"Director Ron Howard was on Howard Stern today discussing his daughter Bryce Howard's reaction to the Christian Bale rant. Bryce Howard was filming a scene opposite Christian Bale the night of the rant. Ron Howard told Stern his daughter Bryce called him immediately following the freak-out and said she had 'a really weird night' on the set.
"Ron Howard says he has listened to the Christian Bale rant and understands what Bale was going through. Ron Howard says it was a very intense scene and the director of photography was disturbing the set, which is a big-time no-no in Hollywood. Ron Howard says Christian Bale is a very emotional actor and felt awful about the rant and apologized to everyone on the set the next day. The DP of the film was never fired. Bryce Howard and Christian Bale went on to film the rest of the movie without any drama."
Hollywood -- surprise, surprise -- rallies around an "earner" like Bale. God help Bale if he had had a few stinkers under his belt. More here.
