"Apocalypto" director Mel Gibson may soon find himself at the doctor's office giving a sample of his DNA, for a 29-year-old woman is claiming that she is his lovechild.

Painter Carmel Sloane is claiming that Mel Gibson got her mother pregnant after a romp on a mattress at the back of his car before he became one of the most recognisable faces in showbiz, Hindustan Times claims.

"I would like him to know he has a grandson who is a great kid. He is very bright and creative. He would be proud of him," she said.

 

Carmel Sloane, 29, insists that she was not looking for a portion of the Gibson's fortune, and that all she wanted was for him to recognize her "as family".

"I'm not doing it for his money. I just want to meet the man I've always known was my dad — and for him to get to know his grandson," the News of the World quoted Carmel Sloane, as saying.

"I'd love it if he recognised us as family. I'm not looking for a meal ticket. I am happy with my life. I would love to meet him but I wouldn't expect to be part of his life. I'm not looking for a piece of the pie or that lifestyle,"

Legal papers will be served to the 50-year-old Mel Gibson this week.
