Christian Bale was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his 61-year-old mother and 40-year-old sister, according London's Daily Telegraph.

The incident allegedly occurred at a west London hotel on Sunday. His mother and sister went to police on Monday.

A police spokesman who declined to identify Bale, 34 - told the London Telegraph: "A 34-year-old man attended a London Police Station on Tuesday by appointment and was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He remains in custody."

Look back at Us' mugshot archive.

Bale appeared to be undeterred by the news at Monday's premiere of The Dark Knight in London.

See 18 photos from The Dark Knight.

He told Usmagazine.com it felt "great" supporting the movie as he walked the carpet with his wife Sibi. (They have a daughter Emmaline, 3.)

Asked what it was like to have the highest box office ever, he told Us, "it's wonderful! But I'm not a business man. I just enjoy doing what I do and whatever happens after that is gravy.

"I hope people are as excited about the movie as I am," Bale added. "The good thing is I don't feel like a con-man - the movie really does live up to the hype."

Playing the caped crusader wasn't easy, he said.

"Try putting on a bat suit and not laughing at yourself, it's very tricky," Bale told Us. "The only way you can manage that is by creating this demonic, angry creature. You cease to become a man, you become a creature."

  • This just sounds too weird to me... I'm waiting to hear the "rest of the story" before even giving this "alleged assault" a second thought. There's probably a lot more to this story than the tidbits revealed here.
