“Could Mel Gibson be the biological father of Jodie Foster’s two sons?” asks the New York Post, which goes on to claim, “that’s what some in Hollywood were wondering as Foster thanked Gibson — ‘You know, you save me, too’ — in her heartfelt speech Sunday” at the Golden Globes.

The paper, which notes that Gibson sat at the event with Foster and her sons Charles, 14, and Kit, 12, quotes an “amateur genealogist” as saying, “The kids look like him [Gibson] but blonder.”

Adds the Post, “If Gibson, a father of eight, donated his sperm to Foster, it would explain her fierce loyalty to the troubled star while the rest of Hollywood shunned him over his anti-Semitic remarks and abusive treatment of Oksana Grigorieva, the Russian girlfriend who bore his last child, Lucia, 3.”

Could Gibson really be Foster’s secret baby daddy?

Gossip Cop checked with a mutual pal of ours and Gibson’s, who literally laughed at the suggestion.

We’re told that any speculation that Gibson is the father of Foster’s sons is “so stupid” and totally false.

    Jodi shouldn’t have shown herself at the damn Globes and said all of the wonderful things she did. All it accomplished was to open the door to the very bullshit she pointed out in her speech. Annoying.

  • DF

    Yep but she maintained our admiration.

  • OHk

    True.

    Foster’s boys are gingers. I don’t know a lot about genetics, but Gibson as the father? Huh?

  • Martina

    Well someone has to be a father, as far as I know, man is important even to a lesbian if she desires children.

  • Amy

    Having red hair is a recessive trait. If Gibson (or Foster for that matter) has parents or grandparents, great grand parents, etc. with red hair, it would be possible. Heck, my sister was born a red head and neither of my parents have red hair. My great grandmother is the closest relative with red hair. It’s a recessive trait, so either of them can have the red hair gene, but not have the actual trait. They would pass it on to the kids though. Not saying he’s the father lol, just that it’s possible for someone who’s not a ginger to have a ginger kid.

    I have thought about that because they’ve always been close. However, upon looking at her ultra fair red haired sons who bear NO resemblence whatsoever to Mel, I don’t think so. They both look very much like brothers and I can see Jodie in there, and the features of someone else they favor…but it’s not Mel. :)

    Could really see MG do adore her … the way he looked at her when she gave the speech was like pure adoration. Like a puppy

  • thecutest

    I’ve LONG suspected her was the father of her kids. The way she was prancing around him when they made that stupid Western together back in the ’90s. The only thing that changed my mind is when talk of her lesbianism and his over-wrought Catholicism started. I thought, “No way could any self-respecting lesbian sell out other females with THAT guy.” But now, I think the rumor is seeing the light.
