Jodie loves Gibson’s complexities!

Foster has stood by Mel Gibson even when he faced domestic abuse charges from his ex-girlfriend.

Oscar winning actress Jodie Foster says that she and Mel Gibson have a complicated friendship but they will be pals for life.

The 48-year-old star and Gibson have been friends for years but Foster who recently directed him in ‘The Beaver’ feels that theirs is a complicated relationship. “I knew the minute I met Mel that he was going to be my friend for the rest of my life. It’s complex but I like the complexity,” said the ‘Silence of the Lambs’ star.

Foster has stood by Gibson through his recent battles with former lover Oksana Grigorieva after he was accused of domestic abuse and she has no qualms about supporting her friend.

“I know him and I love him and I love him for his complexities. I don’t think there are many actors who can inhabit the lightness we needed for the movie,but who can also really understand struggle. And because of the conversations we’ve been having for 15 years about struggle. I can’t defend him but when you love somebody and they are struggling you don’t run in the opposite direction,” she said.
