A toilet stop taken by a horse is the latest “scoop” to be offered by the American tabloid, the National Enquirer.

Its equine exclusive centres on actor Christian Bale, who reportedly feared that a particularly tense and difficult scene in his new movie with director Terrence Malick would be ruined after it was discovered a horse had relieved itself in the background of the shot.

Bale apparently feared the scene would be ruined because of a few horse apples.

The horse’s misdemeanour was discovered when Bale gathered with Malick and co-stars Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett and Ryan Gosling to review scenes of the movie, which has yet to be titled.

A source dramatically disclosed to the supermarket tabloid: “If that wasn’t enough, another horse got the urge a moment later and plop!”

Fears of a reshoot quickly subsided when it became clear a little digital magic was all that was required to clean up the scene.

By then, apparently everyone was able to see the “toilet humour” in the situation.
