Actor photographed having intimate dinner with stuntwoman Ashley Cusate.
Oct. 18, 2012— -- intro: Hollywood bad boy Mel Gibson seems to have no shortage of female admirers.
The Oscar-winning actor and director was recently photographed having an intimate dinner with Hollywood stuntwoman Ashley Cusato.
Gibson's rep declined to comment on the status of their relationship, and Cusato did not respond immediately to ABCNews.com's requests for comment.
At 56, the "What Women Want" star is apparently having no difficulties with the ladies following 2010's nasty custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, when recordings of racist and sexist rants allegedly by Gibson were made public.
Gibson, a father of eight, including a daughter with Grigorieva, was caught canoodling with Cusato over sushi last Sunday at Nobu in Malibu, Calif. Laughing and with their arms around each other, they appeared to be having a good time before leaving the restaurant together.
Cusato, 38, has doubled for several A-list actresses, including Jennifer Aniston in "Rumor Has It," as well as Penelope Cruz, Denise Richards, and Anne Hathaway. Her stunt screen credits include "Baywatch," "Cop Land" and "Alias."
According to her IMDb biography, she graduated with an honors degree in finance from University of California, Santa Barbara, was a Division I swimmer, is training for her black belt in Yoshukai Karate and was voted "best body" in high school.
Like Gibson's past ladies, Cusato is a well-built brunette. Click through to see a list of the others.
