Mel Gibson was spotted on Tuesday making a rare red carpet appearance with the youngest of his nine children, daughter Lucia and son Lars.
The 68-year-old Braveheart actor and director was spotted at a special screening of his new film Monster Summer at the Directors Guild Of America in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The Lethal Weapon actor posed with Lucia, 14, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, 54, and Lars, seven, whom he shares with girlfriend Rosalind Ross, 34, at the screening of the horror-adventure film.
The Oscar-winning actor and director, who attended Vince Vaughn’s ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month, sported a navy blue plaid sports jacket over a white button-down shirt. He completed his ensemble with dark blue jeans and black sneakers at the film event, sporting a bushy beard.

The Passion of the Christ filmmaker is also the father of seven children from his 29-year marriage to Robyn Moore, which ended in 2009.
They are Hannah Mae Brobst, 43; Christian Gibson, 42; Edward Gibson, 42; Will Gibson, 38; Louie Gibson, 35; Milo Gibson, 33; and Thomas Gibson, 25.
Joining Gibson in the cast of Monster Summer are Lorraine Bracco, Kevin James, Patrick Renna, Mason Thames, Nora Zehetner and Abby James Witherspoon, Reese Witherspoon’s lookalike niece.
According to the film’s synopsis: “When a mysterious force begins to disrupt their big summer fun, Noah and his friends team up with a retired police detective to embark on a monstrous adventure to save their island.”
Gibson has worked on several smaller-scale projects in recent years as he continues to rebuild his career more than a decade after a series of damaging scandals.
In an incident on July 28, 2006, in Malibu, California, Gibson was arrested in connection with a drunk driving charge, after which a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy said the actor launched into an anti-Semitic tirade, making statements such as: “Damn Jews… Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” according to TMZ.
Gibson’s career took a further downturn four years later in 2010 when a series of recordings surfaced in which he used multiple racial slurs and threatened violence against his ex-girlfriend Grigorieva.
In the wake of the 2010 scandal, Gibson lost a role in The Hangover 2 after the cast and crew protested his presence in the film.
The Oscar-winning actor and director wore a navy plaid sports jacket over a white button-down shirt with dark blue jeans and black sneakers, sporting a full beard.

The Hollywood veteran was photographed with the film’s director, David Henrie, 35.
(L-R) Henrie posed with cast members Noah Cottrell, Abby James Witherspoon, Gibson, Lilah Pate, Julian Lerner and Mason Thames at the event.
The Hollywood veteran has made comebacks over the past decade with roles in 2013’s Machete Kills, 2014’s The Expendables 3 and 2017’s Daddy’s Home 2.
Gibson received Oscar nominations for Best Director and Best Picture for his 2017 World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge, which earned six nominations overall in 2018.
In recent years, Gibson has appeared in films such as Desperation Road, Confidential Informant, On the Line, Bandit, Hot Seat, Father Stu, Agent Game and Panama.
Earlier this month, he traveled to Europe to scout potential filming locations for a sequel to The Passion of the Christ. Variety reported last week.
He had been to Malta and Italy to observe multiple rural locations, Puglia Film Commission director Antonio Parente told the outlet.
Gibson’s publicist Alan Nierob confirmed that they were “really looking at locations” but that “there’s not much to discuss at this early stage.”
