The Braveheart actor was arrested in California in July on the suspicion of drunken-driving and is said to have made racist comments to the officers who arrested him.

Gibson, in an interview with talk show host Jay Leno, claimed he was coping with the fallout from the scandal, reported contactmusic.com.

He said: "I've been overwhelmed by the understanding. It just tells you how you get things wrong sometimes. It's a work in progress. I did the right thing - walk on, keep your side of the street clean and move on."

Gibson added that he had been sober for four-and-a-half months.
