Mel Gibson and Christian Bale are pretty intense actors, taking their roles quite seriously both while acting and in real life. This [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) mashup of the two actors going on separate [rampages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holidays-are-brutal) gives you yet another side to their characters.

As hilarious as it may sound, these types of mashups reveal quite a frightening message to their audience. Taking a different approach and combining two awkward situations in this Mel Gibson and Christian Bale clip, its creator definitely knows how to make light of weird circumstances.
