Christian Bale 'won't speak to family'

09 March 2010 [08:11] - TODAY.AZ
Christian Bale's family have claimed that they have not spoken to the actor for over 18 months.

The star's mother Jenny said that she cannot understand why he has shunned her attempts to make contact since his arrest on suspicion of assault following their row on the evening of the London premiere of The Dark Knight in 2008.

She told the Daily Mail: "He's not talking to us, it's not the other way round. He has changed his phone numbers, and he ignores the letters, emails and birthday cards I send. As awful as that night was, and although I rack my mind every day about what could have made him behave like that, I'd happily forget it happened if we could go back to being a family.

"That's the most important thing. We miss Christian terribly. But it's been more than 18 months now and it's hard to see how this will ever end."

According to Jenny and her daughter Sharon, they still have no explanation for the 36-year-old's extreme behaviour.

The 62-year-old said of their bust-up: "He just exploded with anger like I have never seen. He never gave us a chance to find out what it was all about before he frog-marched us out of his suite. He had his face to mine and he was bellowing and swearing about how I never called or emailed.

"His wife, who I have met a few times and always got on with, was standing across the room. I kept asking her, 'Why is he doing this?' but she just shrugged. I was shaking. It was so frightening. It didn't make any sense. It probably went on for about ten minutes before he physically marched us out of the room and into the lift."

Jenny went on to say that she can now only keep track of her son's life through the media and fears that something could happen to the star.

She added: "I search for pictures of him on Google just to see how he is. Sometimes he's pictured with his daughter, and I get to see how she's growing. If I want to know what's going on in his life, I have to read the headlines. What if something terrible happens and I have to find out about it in a newspaper? I'm his mum and he's my little boy."
