Swayze Defends Gibson



HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood star Patrick Swayze is the latest celebrity to defend Mel Gibson, following his controversial drunk-driving arrest last month.

The Lethal Weapon star issued an apology last week after it was revealed he had made anti-Semitic comments in a drunken tirade on a Malibu, California, highway.

While some Hollywood producers and agents have stepped forward to condemn Gibson's drunken slurs, the actor's pals--producer Dean Devlin and actress Jodie Foster have offered their support to the troubled star.

Swayze says, "Mel is a wonderful human being. He is not anti-Semitic.

"People say stupid things when they happen to have a few (drinks), and especially if you don't drink anymore, or have limited your drinking for a long time and all of a sudden you decide to have one too many with the boys--you are stupid."

The Dirty Dancing star is confident the incident will not affect Gibson's career, adding, "When you are a pit bull, and you love what you do and you are going to continue to grow, that talent will find its way out.

"Talent deserves to be honored. Hands deserve to be slapped if you do something stupid as well, but don't take it too far."

Patrick, you're talking all kinds of crazy. Am I the only one who thinks this is complete gibberish?


When you are a pitbull, you can rip off people's hands with your incisors, and talent will take you far too, but your hands will never grow back.

If Mel was such a great talented actor why didnt he act sober? Patrick you are just too sad for a comment.
