Meet Mel Gibson’s lookalike son!

Mel Gibson became a Hollywood heartthrob the instant he appeared on the silver screen in the Mad Max series. Now, there’s a whole new Gibson on the scene and he looks just like his handsome dad in his younger years.

Louie Gibson, a 29-year-old filmmaker, told the Daily Telegraph he was very much aware of his striking resemblance to Mel. 

“I’m not as ugly as that guy,” he joked. “I say I’m a lot better looking than him.”

The filmmaker made his feature length debut this year with critically-acclaimed horror film Happy Hunting, revealing he funded the movie through his own production company rather than relying on his dad.

“I’d like to be given my own shot to be myself and I think if you go about and do that, people will see that for what it is worth,” Louie explained. “If they don’t, f*** them.”

Louie is one of Mel’s seven children with ex-wife Robyn. He has another daughter (Lucia, born 2009) with Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva and a son (Lars Gerard, born 2017) with former equestrian vaulter Rosalind Ross.
