Actor-filmmaker Mel Gibson paid an unofficial visit to the "Mad Max: Fury Road" premiere in Hollywood to excite the film's cast and producers.
The 59-year-old, who played Max Rockatansky in the 1979 Australian action film and two sequels, posed for photographs on the red carpet with new "Mad Max" Tom Hardy and other cast members on Thursday, reports variety.com.
All four films in the "Mad Max" series (including the 1981 "Mad Max 2: Road Warrior" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome") were directed by George Miller, who chatted with Gibson at the premiere.
"Mad Max: Fury Road", which will release on May 15, is poised for an opening weekend of over $40 million.
The $150 million-plus tentpole, co-starring Charlize Theron, will play at the Cannes International Film Festival next weekend.
