I really like him a lot
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) - Mel Gibson has met with the president of Costa Rica to discuss making a financial donation to help the country's native Indians.
``He wants to help the indigenous population here and wants to know how to channel the funds,'' President Oscar Arias told reporters outside his home, where he met with the 51-year-old actor-director for about an hour Monday.
Arias said Gibson, who directed last year's Mayan epic ``Apocalypto,'' would return to Costa Rica next month to arrange details of his donation.
Gibson has avoided the press in prior trips to Costa Rica, but spent a few minutes answering questions from reporters.
He acknowledged buying a house in Guanacaste on the Central American nation's Pacific coast and jokingly asked reporters if they wanted the address.
