Like most days he spends relaxing, Gibson opted for casual wear; this time in blue swim trunks and a blue t-shirt.
He also wore black sneakers, a baseball cap, all while still sporting the scruffy grey beard and mustache he’s had since the coronavirus was deemed a pandemic in mid-March.
Ross also kept it casual and comfortable in the fashion department dressed in black cargo pants with a green-patterned shirt and black flip-slops.

Gibson went public with his COVID-19 diagnosis in late July, which was a good two months after his condition worsened enough for him to be admitted into a hospital in Los Angeles.
‘He was treated with the drug Remdesivir, while in the hospital, and has tested negative numerous times since then as well as positive for the antibodies,’ the actor’s representative revealed at the time.
Remdesivir is a broad spectrum anti viral which has shown promise in the treatment of coronavirus.
Having a safety-first mentality is crucial during these uncertain times considering California leads the nation with 647,274 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which includes 11,690 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University & Medicine on Thursday, August 20.
