The world might not look rosy for Hollywood actor Mel Gibson these days, considering the various bits of negative news he is facing lately.

But Gibson still has plenty of reasons to be happy, and one reason is some close friends who remain by his side during these trying moments in his personal life and career. Gibson was recently seen enjoying a leisurely stroll with his friend and former We Were Soldiers co-star, Madeleine Stowe, 52.

Despite the bad press about Gibson, Stowe proved to be a good friend to the A-list actor as she joined him for a walk and a little bonding. The actor and actress became friends while filming We Were Soldiers, a film from 2002 in which they portrayed a married couple.

The two celebrities looked very happy as they enjoyed a stroll around a Los Angeles neighborhood. It is really a treasure to have friends who will stick with you during both happy and sad moments in your life.
