Mel Gibson denim brentwood beard goatee

That bushy beard isn't the only thing Mel Gibson has been growing lately -- check out the 58-year-old actor's guns!

Mel recently shot the The Expendables 3 opposite Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, so we figured he was bulking up for that film, but it looks like he plans on maintaining his buffer build!

Maybe it has to do the fact that he's going to be kicking butt in his next big screen gig? It was recently announced that Gibson will be starring in the thriller Blood Father, which follows the story of an ex-con who "reunites with his estranged wayward 16-year old daughter to protect her from drug dealers who are trying to kill her," according to Variety. Sounds interesting!
