EXCLUSIVE: Video of Mel at Moonshadows

TMZ has obtained exclusive video shot on a cell phone by a patron who was at Moonshadows Malibu the night of Mel Gibson's arrest for DUI. The video was shot in the patio-bar area of the restaurant just after midnight, approximately two hours before Gibson was arrested.



The video shows a jovial Mel talking and laughing with patrons. He is holding what appears to be a bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water.

We want to hear from you - LITERALLY! Call TMZ's toll-free number 866-895-8877 and sound off (but not for more than 30 seconds)! Start with your name and tell us where you live.

46. Like the majority of your responces, I feel the same, give the guy a break, you're making much more out of it than what's really there. As far as his remark about the Jews, every other country in the world feel the same way. Well at least Tom Cruise is getting a break from you people, he also should be left alone

47. Hey Bob... yes, Harvey is a Jew, said so on this morning's Fox news... he's playin it off good. I used to think he was a nice guy, now I know he's an asshole. I guess he's found his tiny niche in the gutter just like Tom Leykis... feeding off the misery of others.

Tell it like it is Mel!... yeah! You don't drink no cheap tequilla either.

48. I feel that a lot is being made of this. However I do beleive that when one becomes such aleading world personality he has responsabilities. And those are that his behaviour and public displays are better mannered.
I am no particular fan of his but I as an Aussie feel that he has behaved badly and represented us in a bad light.
I have a brother who has been an AA for 20 years plus I know how hard it is.
I also believe that the true thoughts of a person are spoken when drunk.
Forget the fact that he was antisemetic for a moment was it right to speak to a cop the way he did some example tha was.
I'm sure if some one attacked him he would be the first one to call for help from the same cops he abused.

52. I am not a fan of Mel but give it a reat. Who cares? Nobody cares about Mel and nobody cares about Suri!!!
we all say stuff when we drink. If he meant what he said who cares. he is entitled to his own opinion! but if he haid it about another religious group nobody say anything about it! Typical!
i think the greedy gas prices are more important that Mel!!!

53. Ditto all the comments. Leave Mel alone! I am turning against you, Harvey Levin. I believe you are mad at the Sheriff's and have a vendetta against both Mel and them.

54. The one things that Jews do best, other than stealing your money, is bitch-bitch-bitch and Complain!!!!! They can't stand hearing someone speak out against them and then all you will hear is "OY, 5000 years of bondage" or "OY-vie, the holucaust was horrific", or "Oy, the arabs are ruining our lives"!!!! They are the perfect race that cannot do any wrong and if someone speaks out against them, since they own the media, they will run their name into the ground!!!!

Mel is probably pissed over the middle east problems which the Jews are right smack dab in the middle of and in a drunken stuiper he spoke his mind. For this the Jews call him Anti Semetic! How dare anyone challenge the Jews!!!! They can screw the rest of the world but don't you dare say anything bad about them because the will berate you and do what they do best, BITCH-BITCH-BITCH!!!!!

OY-VIE!!!!!!!

Good for you MEL!!!! I going to see your next movie a dozen times!!!!!!!!!! U DA MAN!!!!!!!

55. Hey! Mel Gibson is really, really short, too! Shorter than even Tom Cruise!
And he's a shanda for the Catholics who's been sighted in strip clubs on location shoots for years.

56. what the heck is going on? What did Mel do now?

I take it he was drunk driving?

57. Mel Gibson is a bigot,racist,who hides behind the guise of veing a devout Catholic.The man needs help.However,he won't go to a treatment facility for alcoholism.He'll do it himself.Egocentricity with plenty of doe.Too bad.Must be tough to live with an illness that only a spiritual remedy can arrest and the maker of the big passion movie isn't listen to HIS spiritual advisor,Jesus Christ.He'sMel G.bigger than JESUS CHRIST> He is pathetic.Aracist drunk is a racist sober.Only thing that improves slightly for some alcoholics with abstinence is beavoir modification.A JERK loaded is a JERK straight!!!!!!!!

58. The only people that truly care and are offended by Mel Gibson's comments, against the Jewish, are the intelligent people. As you can see by the response of most of your readers there isn't too many intellingent people in this world. I am sure that this incident and his comments will make Mr. Gibson even more popular and more powerful. That is what always happens, i.e. Kate Moss.

59. I think the Police Department needs to keep their mouths shut. Mel needs to file a lawsuit for invasion of privacy. He was singled out because he is famous. I totally respect the Jewish Community but they didn't need the hurt. This compares to a spouse feeling guilty for cheating and telling their partner. Keep your mouth shut and stop the pain. Mel was drunk and arrested for that. People who get drunk get stupid. I have done my share of being silly. I'm a giggler after 1/2 of a cosmopolitan. The Jewish community is at the top of the chart in the accomplishments. They are a group to be admired with the pain and hearbreak of the holocost. The officers that arrested Mel wanted notariety. They knew he would suffer embarrassment and they would be in thelimelight for gossiping.We pay them to serve and protect not gossip. Our protectors have become crookedand get paid to play God. I want the officers to be suspended and written up for there actions. I bet if you checked into their backgrounds they are drunks, abusers, womaizers and just plain smut. Mel was drunk and he shows our children that we pay for our actions. They act as though drinking was a small part of his actions. He will pay just like anyone else. Get out of their business. We do not own them!!! I'm sick of people trying to ruin their lives because of envy. They are commiting the same sin as HITLER. He was envious that the Jewish Community was up above all others. His envy turned to hate and look what happened. Jews don't need anyone to protect them. We need all others to learn from their hard work, determination and love for family and life. When they love you it's for life. Mel will pay because he's a good man. He made a mistake and he has apologized. He's not God so let him make a mistake and learn. Are you all going to fill Hitler' shoes and ruin him for the sake of being envious? Last time I checked alcoholism was a disease. He was arrested for being drunk. If he was sober then I would say its bad. Being drunk makes you unable to think or move properly. Leave it up to the judge! I think a lot of people are calling the kettle black.

60. Part of the responsibilty of Mr. Gibson being allowed to leave an establishment completely intoxicated and then drive in his this state must be placed on the establishment ~ Moonshadow's. There is a responsibility that goes along with obtaining a liquor license and its not just taking the customer's money! Cutting a customer off that is obviously intoxicated is part of the job of bartending. The manager, bartender, waitress, valet, fans, and other patrons, (etc.) all could have displayed a moral obligation based on safety, compassion, responsibility, and common sense and offered Mr. Gibson a cup of coffee and called him a taxi and insisted that he not drive for his own safety and the safety of others. It doesn't take a rocket scientist!
