Mel Gibson causes atmosphere on movie set

Mel Gibson isn’t in hiding. The actor — whose career looks to be in taters after news broke of his ugly, foulmouthed tirades against his ex-girlfriend — went back to work on his upcoming movie The Beaver, in which he plays a nut case who communicates through a hand-puppet.

The movie — which cost $20m to make and is directed by Gibson’s friend Jodie Foster — was shot last fall but didn’t test well, so the actor did reshoots in New York last week.

“Mel was in complete shock,” a source told New York Post gossip column Page Six.

“Everyone was walking on eggshells around him. It was the weirdest set ever.”
