Buried in the memories of time and exceptionay good PR, many don’t know that Christian Bale was arrested on July 22, 2008, just 16 hours after attending the European premiere of ‘The Dark Knight’ in London. His mother, Jenny, 61, and sister Sharon, 40, had accused him of assault at the luxury Dorchester Hotel on Sunday night. The timing could not have been worse for the Hollywood star, as the incident threatened to overshadow one of the biggest movie releases of the year.
The alleged altercation happened before the premiere and only Bale’s assurance that he would go to the police station after attending it delayed his arrest.
