Popular TV host and author Bear Grylls recently defended his support for friend and actor Russell Brand in his newfound faith despite allegations of rape and sexual assault against the embattled comedian.

"Russell, you know, [it was] a privilege to stand beside him as he was getting baptized; that is a life journey for him," Grylls, 50, told the Australian edition of The Daily Telegraph.

Grylls, an outspoken devout Christian and the son of a former Conservative member of the United Kingdom Parliament, was one of two friends who assisted in Brand's baptismin the River Thames this past April.
