Currently in London for a play, actor Patrick Swayze is the latest celebrity to speak out in defense of Mel Gibson.
Gibson, The Braveheart star issued two apologies last week that has taken the sting off many Jewish leaders and the community members outraged at his anti-Semitic remarks made while intoxicated.
Swayze joins Dean Devlin and actress Jodie Foster in publicly bolstering the Mad Max star. The Daily Mirror reported Swayze saying, "Mel is a wonderful human being. He is not anti-Semitic. People say stupid things when they happen to have a few, and especially if you don't drink any more, 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."
"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."
