Sir Michael Caine has said he was "stunned" by Batman co-star Christian Bale’s angry rant on the set of the new Terminator film.

Sir Michael, 76, recently worked with Christian on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

He said: "That stunned me, because he’s not like that at all. I mean, I’m more like that than he is! You’re liable to get a volley off me if you walk around during my takes."

He added to Britain’s Reveal magazine: "I would never have imagined Christian doing that. It’s completely out of character."

Sir Michael also revealed he once had a foul-mouthed rant at crew on set of a past film.

He said: "I lost my temper on a film years ago. I’m not a very good horseman and I told them that. They put me on this horse that they knew was a killer and it ran away with me for two miles."

He added: "I brought it back at a slow pace and all the crew were laughing, so I started on them and I outdid Christian by about 30 minutes and with more language than he knew."

Sir Michael said he knows what he is going to say when he next bumps into Christian. He said: "I haven’t seen him since, but when I meet him I’m going to say: ‘What the f**k were you doing?’"
