Friday night Downey, 46, accepted an American Cinematheque Award in Beverly Hills, and the actor used his time on stage to ask Hollywood to forgive Gibson, 55.


"Unless you are without sin -- and if you are, you are in the wrong f**king industry -- you should forgive him and let him work," the Iron Man star said.

Downey, who famously struggled with substance abuse himself in the past, costarred with Gibson in the 1990 film Air America. PHOTOS: Mel's many meltdowns


But Downey, who is proudly clean and sober today, isn't about to judge Gibson. I couldn't get hired and he cast me," Downey said.
