He's an eager Beaver! Mel Gibson grins with glee as he jets out of LA with pregnant girlfriend Rosalind Ross

He had just had an extremely successful weekend that saw him scoop yet another prestigious paperweight.

So no wonder Mel Gibson looked in such a good mood as he got ready to jet out of Los Angeles with his pregnant girlfriend Rosalind Ross on Monday.

The Hacksaw Ridge director and his much younger lover looked full of beans as they got ready to head off after his appearance at the Hollywood Film Awards.

 The 60-year-old looked in rude health as he pranced through the departure lounge in a black jacket, white shirt, jeans and boots.

Lethal Weapon favourite Mel completed his Hollywood-cool look by donning a pair of sunglasses, despite the fact it was dark outside.

The Beaver star's 26-year-old girlfriend looked more like his daughter as they padded along together, and she had dressed for comfort in a hooded top, jogging trousers and Ugg-style boots.

They were jetting out after the Australian beefcake added another expensive paperweight to his mantelpiece at the Hollywood Film Awards, where the Academy Award-winning filmmaker was given the Hollywood director award.

It  an honor previously bestowed upon iconic filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, David O. Russell and Ron Howard, Variety reported.

The New York born star wore a conservative navy blue suit with a striped red tie and black dress shoes, sporting a thick beard with a large grey patch around his chin.

Rosalind, an ex-equestrian vaulter, wore an elegant black gown with a white shoulder-less top, carrying a white purse.

Ross - who looks to be the first love interest Gibson's emerged publicly with since his infamous 2010 split with baby mama Oksana Grigorieva - beamed with her long black locks worn down, red lipstick and ornate earrings.

The honors at Sunday's event coincided with this weekend's release of Hacksaw Ridge, a World War II film Gibson directed that stars Andrew Garfield and Vince Vaughn.

The critically-acclaimed period piece, which looks to be Gibson's re-entry into show business in the wake of the multiple scandals, had a modest box office in its opening weekend.

It ended up making $14.75 million as it finished in third place finish, well behind Doctor Strangem, which made $85 million and Trolls, which earned $45.6 million.
