I’m sure I read about Christian Bale freaking out on a set once and later apologised but apart from that, he seems like an okay guy. I haven’t heard/read many things about him that would point to him being as brutal as the screenshot described.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Bale. Years ago around the time of the Dark Knight premier, his wife convinced him to meet with his estranged mother and sister - he fell out with his family and according to some sources years ago, emancipated himself when he was a young actor to increase his working hours and protect his earnings. He got arrested for assault but there was a lot of leaks that it wasn’t simply an actor being a dick at an emotionally fraught event.
Apparently, his sister brought up her financial demands at the “reunion” and insisted he pay for private schooling for her children, then called the police accusing him of assault when he stormed out. I think his wife got why he cut them off in the end.

On a sidenote, about five/six years ago (like in the run up to him winning an Oscar) a dark rumour was circulating across some gossip sites that Mr DiCaprio had been turned away from some hotels who were increasingly fed up with dealing with all the prostitutes he’d assault then kick out. One self-identified victim claimed he held the ladies responsible if he wasn’t able to perform sexually following a severe drink and drug session. It all seemed to die down after he won his Oscar so don’t know if it was dirty tricks by a rival or a Casey Affleck / James Franco truth bomb that actually went away.
Finally, I wish t’internet would make up its mind - either Henry Cavill is a
bleep of a closeted gay gentleman or a rabid pursuer of underage girls…
