He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Sharon Bale: My crazy actor brother ain't so bad, but he needs professional help
It's the story that won't go away, and now Christian Bale's sister has come forward explaining why she went to the police. In an interview to the UK Mirror Sharon Bale explains that pressing charges was her way of trying to help Bale. Sharon goes on to reveal that Chris didn't lay a finger on either her or her mother, but did deliver a verbal tirade similar to that heard round the world over the Internet in the form of various techno mash ups.
I was only trying ot help
"Chris is a laid back guy" Sharon goes on, except when he's in character for a film. Then he can get pretty wound up and intense. So four lettered freak outs aren't unusual. Once he's had time to decompress, he's okay. Sharon is afraid that one day his artistic temperament will get him in trouble, and she felt slapping him with police charges was a way to get the hot headed actor to stop and think.
Now there are three interesting things in the about the story:
1. Let's Get Physical
Both Bale's mom and sister have come forward to down play their run in with the actor. There was a lot of speculation about it after people heard that cops had been called. Some were even wondering whether the actor had raised his hand to either of the women. Both have now stated that the incident was played up by the media - maybe they know which side their bread is buttered on.
2. Some Day Yesterday
Sharon Bale says that she's afraid that her brother's temper will someday get him in trouble. A lot of people would say that some day has come and gone. As for the pro help - most actors are in some kind of therapy. For many it's a clue to the basic psychology - they will even pay to get attention! Personally I think that Celebrity Personality Disorder should've been added to the diagnostic lexicon ages ago!
3. This is just a bad week to be named "Chris".
Matches and Gasoline: Together Again!
It might also be a bad week to be named "Owen". People Magazine is reporting that Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson are on again. Now the couple had a highly publicized bust up. Publicized because Wilson attempted suicide shortly after. Her was found in his home by his brother, with slash marks on both wrists and blood all over the place.Some people blamed Hudson. She has cit a sexual swath through Hollywood with her love' em and leave' em game. So observers felt she might have toyed too reckless with Wilson, and that pushed him over the edge. However there were rumours that Wilson's apparent suicide attempt might not have been what it seemed. For one thing there has been some talk that the slashes on his wrists, though messy, were superficial. He was disoriented though. So the working hypothesis was that he'd tried to cover up a drug overdose by faking a suicide attempt.
"BE ADEQUITE"
Still people were glad to see them keep their distance from each other . Anyone flaky enough to cover a drug overdose with a suicide attempt is still pretty unstable. Plus Hudson seems to be a woman with some thing to prove. As the moderately pretty, moderately talented daughter of Goldie Hawn she's had to fight the nepotism accusations though out her career - you only got where you are because if who you are. Instead of proving herself with ambitious film projects and great performances, she chosen highly commercial projects and adequate performances. Kate chooses to test her stuff off screen, and usually on her back. So the combination of an unstable man with an insecure woman can't be good news - keep the sharp objects out of sight until this thing inevitably blows over.
