Garfield: Mel Gibson is like 'a good mum'

At the Venice Film Festival for his latest movie Hacksaw Ridge, Andrew Garfield compares director Mel Gibson "to a good mom" on the set of the war epic.

The bub will be the first for Gibson and his girlfriend of two years, 26-year-old equestrian vaulter turned scriptwriter Rosalind Ross, with whom Gibson worked on his latest film, Hacksaw Ridge.

Gibson already has seven older (six adult and one teenaged) children from his 26-year marriage to ex-wife Robyn Moore: Hannah, 36, twins Christian and Edward, 34, William, 31, Louis, 28, Milo, 26, and Thomas, 17.

Gibson and Ross were in Australia last year, while Hacksaw Ridge was filmed on location at Sydney's Fox Studios and across the city's semi-rural outer suburbs.

The film had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month. While Gibson walked the red carpet, Ross did not attend.
