NATALIE PORTMAN is so fed up with her “Knight of Cups” co-star CHRISTIAN BALE she’s ready to walk off the film set!
But since she’s too much of a professional to actually quit, she’s quietly trying to come to terms with his unbearable behavior, an insider told The ENQUIRER.
“Natalie can’t stand him,” the insider said. “She thinks he’s tedious, arrogant and a disgrace to the acting profession.”
Natalie, 31, and Christian, 38, have just an hour’s worth of scenes to film together, but Christian’s need for perfection and to be the center of attention is causing the shoot to drag on forever. AND that’s driving Natalie nuts, says the insider.
“Christian is constantly frustrated by his own work and incredibly intense and highly stressed over each scene,” noted the source. “He’ll insist they shoot over and over again because he didn’t like how he punctuated a line or something. Sometimes they wind up spending all night on the set just to satisfy Christian’s obsessive perfectionism.”
“The Dark Knight Rises” star Christian has a reputation for being difficult.
In 2008, he flew into an expletive-filled rage when the director of photography distracted him while shooting a scene on the set of “Terminator Salvation.” Even though an embarrassing recording of the incident was leaked on the Internet, he’s apparently still carrying on.
“Natalie’s really offended by Christian’s behavior and feels he’s completely dismissive of her,” continued the source. “She thinks he’s all about his ego, and he doesn’t care who he insults or inconveniences.”
