Mel Gibson reportedly spent a week in the hospital battling the coronavirus after a spring diagnosis.
The troubled actor and Oscar-winning director tested positive for COVID-19 in April and recovered after a private fight against the virus, the Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
“He tested positive in April and spent a week in the hospital,” Gibson’s representative confirmed to the British tabloid.
The 64-year-old was treated with the drug Remdesivir while hospitalized in the US and has since tested negative for the virus several times, the outlet reported.
He’s also tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, according to his rep.
Gibson has again been the focus of controversy recently for anti-Semitic remarks.
Actress Winona Ryder in a June interview recalled a 1995 party during which Gibson had allegedly asked her if she was an “oven-dodger” as a way to question whether she was Jewish.
Gibson has denied the incident ever happened.
“This is 100% untrue,” Gibson’s reps told The Post in an statement.
