Gibson has also been accused of anti-Semitism with his portrayal of the Jews in his film The Passion Of The Christ. And he refused to criticise his father, who has claimed the Holocaust was mostly "fiction".
The star was stopped by police early on Friday for speeding near his Malibu home. A part-empty bottle of tequila was found in his car.
