David O. Russell is a controversial figure in the movie world\u2014both for his personal issues and professional behavior. He’s infamously tyrannical as a director, and Amy Adams told British GQ<\/em><\/span> in 2016 that most days she was \u201creally just devastated on set\u201d of American Hustle<\/em><\/span>. Rumors have long circulated that her co-star Christian Bale had to intervene regarding Russell’s treatment of her.<\/p>\n

Ballet, for his part, has nothing but praise<\/span> for the director, though he acknowledges his difficult reputation: \u201cI genuinely love the films that David and I have made, you know what I mean? It’s the process of doing that because I’ve got no control over the rest of it. So it’s the process with David,\u201d he says in his own<\/span> GQ<\/em><\/span> <\/em>profile. \u201cEven though we’re not always having what people would term a pleasant day, but we both are absolutely there knowing that we’re totally clued into each other. And so we’re either sort of running down the beach, hugging, or it’s just not talking for weeks on end.\u201d<\/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 adds of the sometimes-charged atmosphere on a Russell set. \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

Ballet acknowledges that he did indeed play \u201cmediator\u201d between Adams and Russell, but doing so didn’t spoil his American Hustle<\/em> experience. \u201cYou’re dealing with two such incredible talents there. No, I don’t let that get in the way whatsoever. Look, if I feel like we got anywhere close\u2014and you only ever get somewhere close to achieving; our imagination is too incredible to ever entirely achieve it\u2014but 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,\u201d he argues. \u201cBut they are fucking phenomenal. Also, 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

While Adams said American Hustle<\/em> \u201creally taught me how to separate work and home,\u201d Bale brought the work into his interpersonal mediation: \u201cI did what I felt was appropriate, in very Irv style,\u201d he says of his character. Bale also claims that Adams specifically told him that the on-set drama shouldn’t affect the audience’s enjoyment of the work, so go forth with a clear conscience, American Hustle<\/em> fans. Unless your enjoyment is affected by Russell’s other<\/em> controversy<\/span>, which Bale did not address; you’re on your own with that one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
