Mel Gibson battled coronavirus in April, coming down with a case severe enough to require the 64-year old actor and director to be hospitalised. The Braveheart star is the latest celebrity to go public with a positive Covid-19 diagnosis, joining a list that includes Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Pink and Daniel Dae Kim.
"He tested positive in April and spent a week in the hospital," a spokesperson for Gibson said in a statement to People magazine. "He was treated with the drug Remdesivir while in the hospital, and has tested negative numerous times since then, as well as positive for the antibodies."
