I’ve been curious since the story broke as to why Mel Gibson had taken a seemingly sudden interest in Britney Spears. I was hoping maybe he was just being a nice guy and trying to help another one of La La Land’s lost souls. Turns out he may have actually been trying to play matchmaker.

Seems Mel has twin sons, 26, who have been in rehab themselves. Mel decided, according to the Enquirer, that one of his twins would be a good influence on the Britster and decided to arrange for them to meet. Mel and his son, Edward, visited Brit Brit’s home but she didn’t want anything to do with the two and hid out in her room all night.

Obviously this meeting didn’t scare Britney away too much since she ended up going on vacation with Mel and his wife, but at least it answers the burning question of just why Mel took an interest in Britney in the first place. Let’s hope he’s moved on from wannabe father-in-law to just plain friend.
