Robert Downey, Jr. defended his friend Mel Gibson over his problematic personal life, asserting he will always “love” Gibson for hiring him “no one else would”.

The star of Iron Man, who had drug and alcohol addiction problems in his career, has known Gibson from the 1980s, and they first starred together on screen in Air America in the 1990s.

Downey, Jr. faced personal problems in the late 1990s and even spent years in and out of jail and rehabilitation centers until he defeated his addictions in 2001.

As a result, he experienced serious difficulties in finding work and will be thankful forever to Gibson for hiring him for The Singing Detective in 2003.

Downey, Jr. claims he will always support his friend as he tries to overcome his own troubles. Gibson made the deadlines earlier this year, when his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva accused him of assault during a violent domestic dispute.

Downey, Jr. declares Access Hollywood, “I’ve known the guy for 25 years and he hired me when no one else would. So I think that’s enough said on my position. I love the guy.”

Mel Gibson cheated on her long-time girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva with porn star Violet Kowal.

Kowal claims he had an affair with Mel while Oksana was pregnant with their child.

Kowal, 26, is a porn filmmaker from Poland and the affair secretly lasted for three month. She said to The Enquirer, “Mel’s breakup with Oksana doesn’t surprise me at all. Clearly, Mel can’t commit to just one woman. “Mel’s great in bed! It was the best sex I’ve ever had!”

According to Kowal, Mel gave her money, “Mel always carried around a large duffel bag filled with cash. Each time we were together, he’d reach into the bag and give me an envelope with $700 to $800 before I left. Mel’s a nice guy who’s really into sex. But when we were seeing each other, he was driving himself crazy sneaking around trying not to get caught.”

She also says they had sex eight times in Malibu and Santa Monica in 2009.

However, Mel’s attorney denies the affair, calling the porn star’s story “an absurd fabrication.”

Mel is reportedly trying to reunite with his estranged wife as he regrets leaving Robyn four years ago for another woman.

According to an insider for the National Enquirer, “He’s still in love with Robyn, he realises he made a huge mistake leaving her. Robyn is not only the mother of his seven children, she’s been a major source of strength for Mel throughout his life. Without her around we’re worried he’ll fall to pieces.”
