Christian Bale has warned his fans not to meet him or they will face 'terrible disappointment.'
The 52-year-old Oscar winner - who has been - opened up about the topic to Entertainment Tonight during the London premiere of the gothic romance film on Thursday.
It comes 17 years following his on-set meltdown while filming Terminator Salvation (2009). He had thrown an expletive-filled rant at the director of cinematography who distracted him during an intense scene, which he later publicly apologized for.
'I'm never cool,' Bale told the outlet. 'Not in those instances. I don't want to meet people I see in films, I don't want to see my heroes.
'I see it in people's eyes when they've watched my movies and loved them and then they meet me and I see their eyes, that terrible disappointment about who I really am.'
The Dark Knight actor added, 'And it's true, what a disappointment. That's me at my best in the movie.'
