After finishing an interview promoting his new film Edge of Darkness, via satellite on Chicago’s WGN-TV,  Mel Gibson (apparently thinking his microphone was turned off ) muttered the word “‘asshole” after sipping his coffee, an insult presumably directed at reporter Dean Richards.

The actor insists the insult was aimed at his publicist, who was apparently making faces at the actor off-camera.  Watch the video.
