In addition to starring in David O. Russell’s 2013 movie \u201cAmerican Hustle,\u201d Christian Bale says he also served as a \u201cmediator\u201d between the director and co-star Amy Adams.<\/p>\n

Bale, 48, told GQ in a cover story published Wednesday that reports claiming he intervened on Adams’ behalf during production were true.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did what I felt was appropriate, in very Irv style,\u201d he explained, referencing his character in the dramatization of the FBI’s Abscam sting operation in the late 1970s and early 1980s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can have some sense of understanding of where it’s coming from, then I do tend to attempt to be a mediator,\u201d he went on. \u201cThat’s just in my nature, to try to say, ‘Hey, come on, let’s go and sit down and figure that out. There’s gotta be a way of making this all work.’\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An email emerged during the 2014 Sony Pictures hack between journalist Jonathan Alter and brother-in-law, then-Sony CEO Michael Lynton, in which the former claimed Russell, 64, \u201cso abused\u201d Adams on the film’s set.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis abuse and lunatic behavior are extreme even by Hollywood standards,\u201d Alter wrote to Lynton.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adams, 48, addressed the claim in 2016, describing Russell’s work ethic as \u201cmania.\u201d In an interview with British GQ, the actress recalled the director \u201cyelling\u201d at her and making her cry almost daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was hard on me, that’s for sure. It was a lot,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI was really just devastated on set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite what went on behind the scenes, Bale said he doesn’t look back on the project with tainted eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’re dealing with two such incredible talents there,\u201d he told GQ for the magazine’s November cover story.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, if I feel like we got anywhere close \u2014 and you only ever get somewhere close to achieving; our imagination is too incredible to ever entirely achieve it \u2014 but if you get anywhere close to it, and when you’re working with people of the crazy creative talent of Amy or of David, there are gonna be upsets. But they are f\u2013king phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAlso, you got to remember, it was the nature of the characters as well. right? Those characters were not people who back down from anything, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
