Foster tells Extra that Gibson, who's been involved in a bitter public feud with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, is an "incredible and loyal friend" who will hopefully emerge soon from his "rough time."
"He is incredibly loved by everyone that's ever come into contact with him or works with him," Foster says. "He is truly the most loved man in the film business, so, hopefully that stands for something."

Jodie Foster - Directors Guild of America Awards
The 'Silence of the Lambs' star separated from Cydney, her partner of 14 years, in May to start a relationship with writer Cynthia Mort, 51, and reports now suggest she could lose a quarter of her estimated $100 million in alimony payments.
According to the National Enquirer magazine, Cydney could legally ask for the massive sum because half of Jodie's fortune was made when they were together.
Jodie, 45, is reportedly keen to keep Cydney, 54, happy in order to avoid losing the sum, and Cydney is being allowed to live rent free in one of the actress' homes.
The Oscar-winning actress is also allowing Cydney to regularly visit Jodie's sons Charles, nine, and six-year-old Kit, as well as giving her an annual six-figure payment.
A source said: "She wants Cydney and Cynthia to be friends. Jodie realises that if Cydney perceives them to be one big happy family, she'd never sue for half her assets."
Jodie - who has never revealed the identity of her children's father - and Cydney were reportedly seen together in Tokyo earlier this week, where the actress is promoting her new movie 'Nim's Island'.

Jodie Foster split from her long-term lover because the actress was having an affair, it has been reported.
Jodie - who >recently separated from Cydney Bernard after 14 years together - is alleged to have been seeing another woman, who she met on the set of her 2007 movie 'The Brave One'.
Cydney is said to have been left "devastated" after discovering 45-year-old Jodie was romancing producer and screenwriter Cindy Mort, 51.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "The affair heated up last year and the pair have been quietly seeing each other since then."
Despite separating, Jodie - who has two children - and Cydney are still living together, but the 'Silence of the Lambs' star plans to move out in the near future.
The source added: "Although she and Cydney remain under the same roof at the moment, the relationship has been shattered. They'll continue to raise the boys together and try to keep a loving family unit despite their break-up. The love is gone."
Cindy has two children with her ex-partner, actress Melanie Mayron, who she remains close friends with. The pair live a few doors down from one another on the same street in Los Angeles.

Jodie Foster has reportedly split from girlfriend Cydney Bernard.
The couple are believed to have been together for around 14 years and Bernard has adopted Foster's children Charles, nine, and six-year old Kit.
The news comes six months after the actress went public with the romance for the first time by paying tribute to her "beautiful Cydney" during a speech in LA. She had previously resisted pressure from gay rights groups to talk about the relationship.
A source told the National Enquirer: "Jodie breaking up with Cydney is shocking. Right now it's the best kept secret in Hollywood, and it's not just because Jodie is legend and an intensely private person, either.
"She and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together, [so] the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this split could be monumental."
The pair hooked up on the set of Foster’s 1993 film Sommersby, on which Bernard was a production coordinator.

Her hands had bulging veins that suggested she was very thin.
No swimsuit shots? What a waste of a day at the beach.

Read on for interview excerpts in which Jodie reveals what it was like being a child star, why she’s never fallen in love and where it’s all going.
On being a child prodigy:
"Being a child prodigy is inherently lonely. I was one of them. You’re different from other kids. No one else can understand. There’s a longing to connect, a craving to say, ‘Here is the deepest part of me, the part that people don’t see.’"
On her long career:
"I’ve been working for 42 years. Sometimes I think, ‘What the hell are you doing? What’s the value of all this?’ I have fantasies about the things I might have done. I wish I’d been a ski bum or maybe had a job at a Starbucks in a ski place."
On why she hasn’t fallen in love yet:
"Oh, my life is basically from the head up. I’m definitely not proud of that. I’m very analytical."
On her childhood attitude toward acting:
"To me, acting didn't seem like much of a profession. My mom always said, 'By the time you're 16, your career will be over. So what do you want to do then?' She was correct. Most child actors' careers end early. They're lost."
On being a working mom:
"I’m still not sure where I’m going in my life. There are times when I don’t really know what I am here for. When I had my kids, I was burnt out on the film business again and wondering if this new identity as a parent was going to be fulfilling enough. I was forced to ask these really hard questions about myself: Is being a mother everything? Are you supposed to lose yourself in the process of being a mother?"
On her strained relationship with her mother:
"A parent’s love for her children is unconditional. I don’t think the reverse is true. In some ways, my mother’s life was given meaning through me. She didn’t have my opportunities. I had to take care of her, and that pretty much meant I had to wake up and go to work."
On being a child actor:
"People ask me if I missed anything by not having a normal childhood. The truth is, if I’d been an ambassador’s daughter or grown up on a farm in Missouri, I wouldn’t have had a normal childhood either. I had the only childhood I knew."

Michael Smegal, 42, of Holliston, Massachusetts, was charged in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts with mailing a threatening letter to Van Nuys Airport in early December.
The letter was one of more than 100 nearly identical letters with references to Foster mailed to celebrities, business executives, airports and other locations around Los Angeles from September 2007 to January 2008, an affidavit said.
Foster, a two-time Oscar winner who won her first Academy Award playing a rape victim in 1988’s “The Accused,” received anonymous letters from Massachusetts beginning in 2004. In 2005, Smegal admitted to police he had sent the letters and promised to stop, the affidavit said.
If convicted, Smegal faces up to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

According to the Associated Press, Reese earns any where between between $15 million to $20 million a movie, awarding her first place on The Hollywood Reporter’s list of the highest-paid actresses.
Here’s the Complete List Of Hollywood’s Highest Paid Leading Ladies From The Hollywood Reporter:
1. Reese Witherspoon — $15 million-$20 million
America’s sweetheart is returning to her romantic comedy — and boxoffice green — roots with the slated Christmas 2008 release of New Line’s “Four Christmases,” which Witherspoon is also producing. Her upcoming schedule remains active with the horror flick “Our Family Trouble,” produced by her own Type A Films, but the hardworking actress and producer recently took a hit with the flop of New Line’s “Rendition,” which received more action from its behind-the-scenes romance rumors than at the boxoffice.
2. Angelina Jolie — $15 million-$20 million
While 2005’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” was a boxoffice smash and payday success for Jolie, her reteaming with partner Brad Pitt proved not so prosperous at the boxoffice this year with the Pitt-produced “A Mighty Heart,” from Paramount Vantage. But her pull was reconfirmed as she lent her voice to Paramount’s 3-D take on the epic poem “Beowulf,” which netted Jolie around $8 million for five weeks of work and opened No. 1 at the boxoffice on its opening weekend. On deck, Jolie will return to animation with DreamWorks’ “Kung Fu Panda,” which pairs Jolie with an all-star cast on her first family-oriented film since 2004’s “Shark Tale.” Jolie will also appear in Universal’s upcoming “Wanted,” based on Mark Miller’s graphic novel with Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, and Universal’s mystery “The Changeling,” with John Malkovich.
3. Cameron Diaz — $15+ million
Cameron Diaz might have cashed in on her biggest payday to date this year courtesy of franchise cash cow “Shrek the Third,” which brought her more than $30 million. And while a paycheck like that could weigh down any girl’s handbag, it probably didn’t break the bank for the studio, which has taken in almost $800 million in worldwide boxoffice grosses from the third “Shrek” installment. Diaz will join the franchise for a fourth outing in 2010. In the near future, she will continue to tickle audiences’ funny bones with Fox’s “What Happens in Vegas … ,” co-starring Ashton Kutcher, and she will take a stab at the horror genre in the Weinstein Co.’s “The Box.”
4. Nicole Kidman — $10 million-$15 million
Oscar’s golden girl hit a rough patch this year with Warner Bros.’ “Invasion” — Kidman’s largest check ever, cashing in at $15 million-$16 million — underperforming at the boxoffice, while Noah Baumbach’s “Margot at the Wedding,” from Paramount Vantage, failed to awe audiences. Kidman will look to put an end to the downward spiral with the Dec. 7 release of New Line’s “The Golden Compass,” which reteams her with Daniel Craig. Looking ahead, Kidman could return to Oscar’s podium sooner than she thought when she joins director Baz Luhrmann again for Bazmark Films’ pre-World War II drama “Australia” and later stars opposite Ralph Fiennes in MGM’s postwar romantic drama “The Reader.”
5. Renee Zellweger — $10 million-$15 million
With paydays of $15 million apiece for 2004’s “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” and 2005’s “Cinderella Man,” the buzz surrounding Zellweger was helped this year with the success of Paramount/DreamWorks Animation’s “Bee Movie.” Next, she will appear alongside George Clooney in Universal’s football-centric romantic comedy “Leatherheads” (the sports movie thing worked before for Zellweger), followed by Paramount’s thriller “Case 39.”
6. Sandra Bullock — $10 million-$15 million
Sandra Bullock proved her boxoffice pull with the “Speed” and “Miss Congeniality” franchises, allowing her to tackle juicier roles like the reclusive Harper Lee in last year’s “Infamous.” While she carried this year’s moderately well-received thriller “Premonition,” from MGM, she hasn’t forgotten why audiences love her: She’s taking her humor and fun-loving snort back to the big screen in Fox’s “All About Steve,” pairing her with Thomas Haden Church.
7. Julia Roberts — $10 million-$15 million
A couple of years back, Roberts’ bankability was unarguable, but then she took some time away from the spotlight to be a mom. This Christmas she’s back to reclaim her throne as one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses with Universal’s “Charlie Wilson’s War,” reuniting Roberts with director Mike Nichols. Later, Roberts hooks back up with Clive Owen in Tony Gilroy’s provocative thriller “Duplicity,” from Universal, and tackles the family drama “Fireflies in the Garden.”
8. Drew Barrymore — $10 million-$12 million
Drew Barrymore returned to the romantic-comedy genre this year with two Warner Bros. outings after audiences failed to catch “Fever Pitch” in 2005: She flexed her vocal cords alongside Hugh Grant in Warner Bros.’ “Music and Lyrics,” but failed to get lucky with audiences in Warners’ “Lucky You.” Dynasties will collide when the Barrymore progeny takes on the Kennedy’s Camelot in HBO Films’ “Grey Gardens,” following the lives of Jackie O.’s aunt and cousin. Later, Barrymore will return to comedy in Disney’s animated “South of the Border.” But don’t let that giggle fool you, the girl also commands the big bucks with her smart producing choices, including New Line’s upcoming “He’s Just Not That Into You,” based on the best-selling book.
9. Jodie Foster — $10 million-$12 million
Jodie Foster is swinging back into the top moneymakers category with Warner Bros.’ surprise hit “The Brave One,” which performed better than expected at the boxoffice and brought the actress home around $10 million-$12 million for both her acting and executive producing duties. A look at Foster’s call sheet reveals she’s been taking on projects at a rate of just one per year, though that’s not a reflection of her fans being silenced — they’ve packed the theaters for recent hits like 2006’s “Inside Man” and 2005’s “Flightplan.” Future plans include Fox-Walden’s adventure “Nim’s Island.”
10. Halle Berry — $10 million
While many didn’t turn out to see it, Berry reminded a small audience why she has an Oscar on her mantel with her performance in Paramount’s “Things We Lost in the Fire.” Though her earlier 2007 outing for Sony’s “Perfect Stranger” also stalled at the boxoffice, her onscreen sultry presence reminded audiences why Berry gets the big bucks. She’s set to reteam with Billy Bob Thorton, as well as put back on her producing hat for Lionsgate’s crime drama “Tulia.” The hat will stay on for DreamWorks’ “Class Act,” the biopic of Nevada congresswoman Tierney Cahill, in which Berry will also star.
