Christian Bale has revealed that he falls asleep on set all the time.
In an interview with GQ Magazine the Batman star admitted that he dozed off while filming a scene for Batman Begins with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.
"I've done it in the middle of scenes where they've had to shake me because I've missed my cues.
"In Batman Begins, in the first scene I had with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, I fell asleep," Bale explained.
"In the scene, I was meant to be waking up, so I laid down and just fell asleep. And I didn't hear 'action'.
"So Michael and Morgan were talking, and I was supposed to join in. I woke up with Michael Caine poking me in the ribs and going, 'Look at that! He's bloody fallen asleep, hasn't he? He's bloody fallen asleep!'"
Bale returns to the big screen next week in another big budget blockbuster, after The Dark Knight dominated the box office last summer, in Terminator Salvation.
He takes on the role of John Connor in the fourth instalment of the franchise. And despite poor reviews from the critics the movie still entered the American chart at number two when it opened at the weekend.
Terminator Salvation is released 5th June.
