Mel Gibson has angered critics by making another comment deemed offensive to Jews.
His jokey remark about how a Jewish producer didn't "look Jewish" came a week after a screenwriter accused him of antisemitism in a nine-page letter to the actor.
The Braveheart star made the comment during a question and answer panel discussion for a new film. He noted that the director was wearing a star of David necklace and expressed surprise when producer Stacy Perskie revealed he too was Jewish.
Last week Joe Eszterhas, who had been commissioned to write a script for a Gibson-helmed film about Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee, accused the actor of believing in the blood libel and questioning the facts of the Holocaust.
