The Braveheart actor didn’t seem to have a care in the world as he spent some time at the playground with his kids.
During an unseasonably chilly week in Southern California, Mel layered up in sweatpants, a flannel shirt and a navy blue jacket with a baseball cap.
His salt and pepper beard and pearly whites were on full display since the actor/director wasn’t wearing a mandated facemask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The Australian actor has nine children in total from three relationships: Hannah Gibson, 41, Christian Gibson & Edward Gibson, 38, William Gibson, 36, Louis Gibson, 33, Milo Gibson, 31, Thomas Gibson, 22, Lucia Gibson, 11, and Lars Gibson, four.

It is surprising that the Hacksaw Ridge director isn’t taking the pandemic more seriously considering he was hospitalized in 2020 with COVID-19.
Gibson contracted the virus last April, spent a week in the hospital and was treated with an anti-viral medication.
Despite misconceptions, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that it is possible to become reinfected with COVID-19.
Additionally, new, more transmissible variants currently spreading are raising the question of whether rare reinfections will rise.
