Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his 61-year-old mother and 40-year-old sister, according London's Daily Telegraph.
The incident allegedly occurred at a west London hotel on Sunday. His mother and sister went to police on Monday.
A police spokesman — who declined to identify Bale, 34 - told the London Telegraph: "A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He remains in custody."



Bale appeared to be undeterred by the news at Monday's premiere of The Dark Knight in London.

He told Usmagazine.com it felt "great" supporting the movie as he walked the carpet with his wife Sibi. (They have a daughter Emmaline, 3.)
Asked what it was like to have the highest box office ever, he told Us, "it's wonderful! But I'm not a business man. I just enjoy doing what I do and whatever happens after that is gravy.
"I hope people are as excited about the movie as I am," Bale added. "The good thing is I don't feel like a con-man - the movie really does live up to the hype."
Playing the caped crusader wasn't easy, he said.
"Try putting on a bat suit and not laughing at yourself, it's very tricky," Bale told Us. "The only way you can manage that is by creating this demonic, angry creature. You cease to become a man, you become a creature."

I can't beleive that these crappy gossip mags can't even get the name of their sources right. The Telegraph is the Daily telegraph; the London Telegraph? Isn't that some mid-western paper? (or was that the London Times?)

Oh - and don't forget that being arrested affords you rights in that you are questioned under caution and the interview is taped, ect.

More like, it's sad to realize that your family can still meddle with your life even while attending your movie opening.

I know some mothers and siblings who would totally make shit like this up. I'm not saying he's innocent, but blood means nothing.

Like I said, innocent until proven guilty. He's only been accused, not convicted.

I am anxiously awaiting his side of the story.

His mom was a circus clown....that could explain a lot.

That was my thought also.

What IF the mom and sis, seeing the #s that pulled in at the box office Fri & Sat for Batman, pulled this to get a little cash money from Christian on Sunday?

Hollywood is a sick place.

You never know...

I could be wrong, but it sounds like bloodsucking family members now smearing his name when they didn't get what they wanted. Obviously they knew he had a huge movie premiere happening and bad publicity is the last thing he needs.

Absolutely. They probably wanted something, he said no, then he removed them from his room, they got mad, and cried about it to the cops. This all seems very interesting to have happened on the night of the premiere, I mean if that isn't an obvious set-up, I don't know what is.

Or they didn't do anything wrong and he just beat them up.... just sayin'

[cmmdee]

^^ And that, too. Perhaps Batman went all Joker on them?

I hope not.

[Sasha]

If it was that bad, they would have gone to the police immediately. Why did they wait until the next day?

[Novice]

Shock?


I'm not defending anyone, just trying to throw out some alternative senarios.
