Christian Bale ignores tabloid speculation about his life — because it makes him much happier.

The Terminator Salvation star says he refuses to read anything that’s written about him — in case it makes him angry.

“The gossip doesn’t affect me, because I don’t know what things are being said, or what gossipy stuff is going on,” says Bale. “My life is much happier when I ignore that. As for other people, that’s their choice. If they want to embrace that, then they’re going to sacrifice enjoyment in the movies. I really believe that. But it’s their choice, if that’s what they love looking at. I don’t get it.”

Bale, 35, recently insisted that he doesn’t care about his reputation as a grumpy A-lister.

“People can label me whatever they want to label me,” he said. “That’s their prerogative.

“I’m like ‘Whatever. I don’t care. Call me an a-hole. I’m alright. That’s fine. If that’s what you think of me, then that’s your right to think that of me’.”
