Just two weeks after his wife filed for divorce, Mel Gibson made a rare public appearance with his new girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva last night at the L.A. industry screening for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

“Mel has been single for almost three years and it’s nice to see him getting out and enjoying himself,” his rep told People.

The couple held hands and walked the red carpet before taking a seat inside the screening at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

“They came in quietly and as under the radar as they could and they were pretty low-key,” says a source. “Mel seemed very comfortable.”

Fox Chairman James Gianopoulos and Wolverine producers Richard and Lauren Donner and Hugh Jackman extended the invitation to Gibson.

Jackman even told the audience that he got inspiration for his character from Gibson’s role as Mad Max.
