10 Famous Actors Who Are Notoriously Difficult To Work With

3. Christian Bale

If you're not the director or a producer or somebody really important and you're working on a movie with Sir Christian Bale, you best stay out of his way, or hell hath no fury like this actor scorned. And he does get scorned a lot - well, in his own opinion.

Yes, Chrissy (he likes to be called Chrissy - make sure you call him Chrissy to his face) was always known for having a temper, but it wasn't until he signed on for Terminator Salvation and went absolutely freakin' bananas at the director of photography that everyone realised the truth. And the truth is: Christian Bale is a bit of a diva.

And by "bit," I mean "he is one." Like any good Hollywood actor, he takes his work seriously, which is good, and has found joy in both gaining and ungaining weight for his past 10 roles or so (it's a fetish, I think), but he also makes people extremely nervous. Thankfully he's still a major box office draw, and he was also Batman, so people still want to work with him. Just don't walk around behind him fixing the lights when he's getting into character, you dumb.
