Christian Bale Arrested For Beat Down?

I was always wonder how actors get arrested for stuff. Like, if I was an actor, and say I got pissed off at someone and started screaming at them and they were like "That's it, I'm calling the cops!" I'd just go, "aaaand scene." And then be like, "I think you misunderstood me. When I called you a 'crazy bitch like your mother,' I was just shaking the dust off a character I'm honing." Then I'd avoid eye contact until they put the phone down. According to Usmagazine.com, Christian Bale didn't say "aaaand scene."

Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his 61-year-old mother and 40-year-old sister, according London's Daily Telegraph.

After being held for more than four hours, he was released. He is to return to the station in September pending further inquiries.
