Christian BaleChristian BaleThere's been a rumble from Christian Bale's corner.

He's spoken out again about the recent drama in his life.

And this time it's from the horse's mouth.

Speaking at a press conference in Barcelona, where he's promoting the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, he said: "It's a deeply personal matter.

"I would ask you to respect my privacy in the matter."

Chris was referring to his recent arrest, following allegations from his mother and sister that he lashed out at them in his suite at The Dorchester hotel on Sunday.

He voluntarily attended a questioning session with police regarding the matter earlier this week.
