Jodie Foster says Mel Gibson 'most loved man in film business'

Jodie Foster continues to stand up for Mel Gibson, telling "Extra" that despite his troubles, he's still "the most loved man in the film business." Foster earlier told More magazine that Gibson is the "easiest, nicest person I've ever worked with," but she hasn't spoken publicly about Gibson since those quotes were printed in September. Foster went on to tell "Extra" that Gibson "is incredibly loved by everyone that's ever come into contact with him or works with him. He is truly the most loved man in the film business, so, hopefully that stands for something." Gibson and Foster co-star in "The Beaver," which currently does not have a release date.
