Posing for Annie Leibovitz as part of the "Disney Dream Portrait Series, " drinking and driving enthusiast and Olympic hero, Michael Phelps, must be punch drunk mad in posing as a beautiful mermaid and becoming a "modern dancer."

Said Leibovitz:

"One of the most complicated shots I have ever done. I didn't know if it was going to work, what to expect. I have to tell you, he was beautiful. Michael put on that tail and ... he just became like a modern dancer. He just took to it and enjoyed himself and swam through this tank. I was blown away."

"It was kind of weird to be able to put on a tail and swim around in a tank," Phelps admitted. "To work with Annie and try these crazy sorts of ideas is really an honor and something I won't forget."

Neither will we.
