Christian Bale To Michael Phelps: ‘Everybody Makes Mistakes, Bounce Back From It’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Christian Bale has leapt to the defense of swimmer Michael Phelps, who has come under fire after a photo surfaced in a British tabloid, showing the Olympian smoking out of a glass pipe.

During a phone interview with the “Kevin & Bean” morning radio program on Los Angeles’ KROQ 106.7 FM, which Bale used to apologize for his rant at “Terminator Salvation” Director of Photography Shane Hurlbut, the actor made a plea to the champion swimmer.

“Please, Michael Phelps, swim in the next Olympics,” Bale said. “This guy has a God given talent. So he’s smoked a bit of weed, plenty of our presidents have.”

“Everybody makes mistakes. Bounce back from it,” Bale stated. “Do not waste that Godlike talent. Swim in the next Olympics, please.”

2. The screaming toddler vs the biking puffer boy...
Not an easy call, but my pity ultimately goes to Phelps.
