Christian Bale has blasted George Clooney for "whining". The 'Dark Knight' actor has hit out at the 'Monuments Men' star for making "boring" complaints about being hounded by paparazzi, insisting people in the public eye should just get on with their lives and ignore the extra attention. He said: "It doesn't matter that he talks about it. It's like, 'Come on, guys, just shut up. Just get on with it and live your lives and stop whining about it.' I prefer not to whine about it." He recalled in an interview with WSJ magazine: "I was in Italy with my wife. I would go to work; she would leave the hotel. "There would be a man who stood outside . . . and say the most obscene things imaginable to my wife … "I know what he's after; he has a strategy there. Am I able to say I'm not gonna give him that satisfaction of angry Christian Bale coming after this man? "But equally, he's killing my humanity and my dignity as a husband if I do not, and he knows this. So you've got a choice.”
