Aww, Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix are uber-tight friends. The two met while shooting "Signs" in 2002, and their bromance has grown even steamier. Both men have fought alcohol problems, and they have the same "twisted sense of humor." According to the tabloids, Joaquin spent a couple weeks at Mel's Malibu estate before he made his announcement that he was embarking on his hoax of a rap career. And when Mel's wife filed for divorce, Joaq (can I call you Joaq, Joaq?) was the first person he called. It's nice that they've found a support system in each other -- weird, but kind of heartwarming.[PopCrunch]
