Former big screen BATMAN CHRISTIAN BALE insists Biblical icon MOSES would be considered a terrorist if he lived today.
The movie star portrays the Egyptian icon in Ridley Scott’s new epic Exodus: Gods and Kings, and he’s testing Bible scholars by questioning his character’s beliefs.
He says, “(He was) absolutely seen as a freedom fighter for the Hebrews, but a terrorist in terms of the Egyptian empire. (I wonder) what would happen to Moses if he arrived today – drones would be sent out after him, right?”
Bale’s latest remarks about Moses – made during a taped interview with TV news show Nightline – are not the actor’s first that have upset scholars; he also called the character “barbaric… troubled and tumultuous” in another recent chat.
