Hi Karin,
Could you please translate the following article for me?

Mel Gibsons skäggchock
HOLLYWOOD.
Mel Gibson har både nytt jobb och ny look.
49-åringen med helskägg har de senaste dagarna jobbat som flyttgubbe.
Åt sin dotter.
Den 20 augusti fångades han på bild när han hjälpte 25-åriga Hanna flytta från hennes lägenhet i Santa Monica.
Av bilden att döma har regissören bakom "The passion of the Christ" lagt undan rakhyveln under semestern.
Kanske dammar han av den snart.
I oktober påbörjar Gibson inspelningen av sin nya äventyrsfilm "Apocalypto" i Mexiko."
Answer -
Hi Mel!
The first line says: "UNSHAVEN. No, it's not a taliban. It's movie star Mel Gibson who has grown a beard."
Actually, it's just a "funny" remark about Mel Gibson's beard. They're saying that he's been helping his daughter Hanna move, and that he apparently has forgotten to shave during his vacations. And finally they say that Gibson will start working on his new film in October.
Do you need a more word-by-word translation? Just let me know!
Regards,
Karin
Answer OK, here goes: :-) I'll take it sentence by sentence, as word by word as possible.
"Mel Gibsons skäggchock"
The beard-shock of Mel Gibson.
"Mel Gibson har både nytt jobb och ny look."
Mel Gibson has got a new job as well as a new look.
"49-åringen med helskägg har de senaste dagarna jobbat som flyttgubbe."
The 49-year-old with a full beard has during the last few days been working as a mover.
"Åt sin dotter."
For his daughter.
"Den 20 augusti fångades han på bild när han hjälpte 25-åriga Hanna flytta från hennes lägenhet i Santa Monica."
August 20th he was caught on photo when helping 25-year-old Hanna move from her apartment in Santa Monica.
"Av bilden att döma har regissören bakom "The passion of the Christ" lagt undan rakhyveln under semestern."
Judging by the picture, the director behind "The passion of the Christ" has put his razor away during his vacation.
"Kanske dammar han av den snart."
Perhaps he will dust it soon.
"I oktober påbörjar Gibson inspelningen av sin nya äventyrsfilm "Apocalypto" i Mexiko."
In October, Gibson will start filming his new adventure movie "Apocalypto" in Mexico.
That's it. Here in Sweden, as soon as anybody does anything unusual, it becomes a "shock" in the papers. When a singer shows a bit more skin than usual, it's a "naked-shock" etc. Hence the "beard-shock" thing.
