Christian Bale arrived late to the premiere of Terminator: Salvation in Los Angeles last night.

The actor, who plays lead John Connor, smiled for photographers on the red carpet but told reporters he couldn't talk because he was holding the movie up.

Christian sparked controversy earlier this year when a recording of him shouting abuse at a crew member on the set of the movie emerged online.

The actor swore 39-times in the four minute tirade at the movie's director of photography, Shane Hurlbut, who had walked into his field of vision.

He later apologised, admitting he had gone "overboard" with his reaction.



Aussie actor Sam Worthington, who plays Marcus Wright, and Bryce Dallas Howard were among the other stars of Salvation on the red carpet.

Bryce told PA she was a huge fan of the previous three Terminator films, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"The most exciting moment was the day I got cast and then sitting down and watching all three films consecutively,” she said.



Other stars on the red carpet last night included Kelly Osbourne and Brooke Burke.

Terminator Salvation is set in a post Judgement day world where Termiantors are seeking to exterminate the human race.
