Gibson’s story is filled with dramatic and scandalous details. He has gone from being a beloved actor to a persona non grata in Hollywood due to various controversies. Born in New York to a mother with Irish roots, his father was a writer who moved the family to Australia to protect Mel from potentially being drafted into the Vietnam War.

Gibson gained fame through iconic roles in films like “Mad Max” and “Lethal Weapon,” earning critical acclaim and comparisons to greats like Steve Martin and Sean Connery. He famously turned down the lead role in the James Bond film series and enjoyed a diverse range of roles, including in “What Women Want.”

After his acting career, he turned to directing, winning an Oscar for “Braveheart.” His directorial projects include “Apocalypto,” “The Passion of the Christ,” and other works that garnered both praise and controversy for their sensitive subject matter.

However, his career faced significant setbacks due to struggles with alcoholism and anti-Semitic remarks, leading to a decade of being largely ignored by Hollywood. His personal life has also been tumultuous, with a divorce from Robin Moore after 31 years of marriage and allegations of domestic violence from Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he shares a daughter.

Despite the scandals, Gibson has found a new relationship with Rosalind Ross, who is 34 years younger, and has sparked discussions about their age difference, overshadowed by his past controversies.
