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.”
