Incredible Dad Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson is an "incredible" and "hands-on" father to his new baby daughter.
The actor - whose girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to Lucia Anne on October 30 - has been praised for his excellent parenting skills despite only spending three days with his newborn because of work commitments.
Oksana revealed: "Mel's very hands-on. He was amazing while he was here for a short visit. He has been very doting and nurturing. He is incredible with children, very kind.
"He's an amazing person and he treats everybody equally. That's what I know. I know him as a very kind and generous person, embracing his friends and family. He's tremendous as a dad, unbelievable.

"He's ecstatic. He is very much in love with her already. She just wins people's hearts, she's so beautiful and tiny."
The 53-year-old actor was forced to take a break from his upcoming film 'The Beaver' as he rushed to Los Angeles to be at Oksana's hospital side when she went into labour a month early.
Although he missed the birth, he arrived a few hours later and spent three days with his new family before returning to the film set last Monday (02.11.09).
Oksana explained to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I was at home then I got rushed into hospital and, eight hours later, I could look at her beautiful face. Mel came just a few hours later because he had to fly from New York."
Russian singer Oksana also admitted their new arrival hadn't affected their romantic relationship.
She added: "We've always been very spiritually connected and emotionally, too. We've always been very close.
"Having children is an overwhelming feeling, beautiful."
The 'Braveheart' star already has six sons and a daughter with former wife Robyn - who filed for divorce in April this year after 28 years of marriage - while Oskana has a 12-year-old son Alexander with actor Timothy Dalton.
