“Lethal Weapon”, “Braveheart” and “Mad Max” are just a few productions from his rich artistic achievements that have made him one of the most popular Hollywood actors in the world. He sealed his position in the industry as the director of “Hacksaw Ridge”. However, his private life and career were full of controversies and high-profile scandals.
What did Mel Gibson do? His career began to decline after the premiere of “The Passion of the Christ”
Gibson’s string of failures began in 2004, when “The Passion of the Christ”, a film showing the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus, debuted on the big screens. Although Catholics liked the production, some Jewish circles had a different opinion. The cup of bitterness overflowed after the statement of one of the reviewers in the New York Times, who called it anti-Semitic. Then Gibson couldn’t stand it. – I would like to kill him and hang his insides on a stick – he said when asked about the critic’s words, which caused a huge scandal. It only got worse.
he was immersed in hateful statements, and reports began to appear in the media that he also had problems with alcohol. Although he claimed that these were rumors, but two years later it turned out that this was not true. The actor was arrested by the police while driving under the influence of alcohol. – Fucking Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world! Are you a Jew too? – he shouted to the officer stopping him. Later, he made a public apology, but rebuilding his image did not go well, especially since in one of the interviews he suggested that it was really just a “numbers game”.
His professional problems coincided with those in his private life. His wife Robyn stood by Gibson’s side during the most difficult moments. They married in 1980 and had seven children together, but their relationship, although seemingly successful, was far from idyllic. After he was arrested, she decided to move out of the house. She had hoped that the prospect of divorce for such a devout Catholic would motivate him to seek treatment. However, this did not happen, and three years later their 30-year-long relationship went down in history due to “irreconcilable differences”.
What’s going on with Mel Gibson? His partner, 34 years younger than him, helped him get back on his feet
Gibson relieved himself in the arms of many beautiful and often younger women, but none of them stayed with him for long. Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva first said that the actor had problems with aggression in 2010, when a recording was leaked in which he could be heard speaking vulgar words to her during an argument. – You look like a f***ing s***. If a bunch of niggers rape you, it will be your fault because you provoked it – he shouted to his eighth mother. The case received wide coverage in the media, and he lost not only the eyes of his fans, but also his colleagues from the industry, and after the incident, he disappeared into the shadows for some time.
He was supposed to make a comeback with a bang with 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge,” but a series of previous scandals overshadowed his attempts to rebuild his image. “So if I am who I am, then I can never have a nervous breakdown?” he asked bitterly in an interview. At the time, he claimed that he had completely changed his life and was no longer the man he used to be. He was supposed to have been helped in this by Rosalinda Ross, whom he met two years earlier. He has been a couple with the woman, who is 34 years younger than him, for over a decade. “We are a challenge for each other,” he briefly assessed some time ago.
