« Gibson has a deep bench of Hollywood supporters, though, like close friends Jodie Foster, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robert Downey Jr., who urged the industry to give Gibson a second chance when he accepted the American Cinematheque award in 2011. Gibson has patched up his relationship with Hollywood power players like Emanuel and former Sony boss Amy Pascal. “Hacksaw Ridge” producer David Permut has attributed Gibson’s anti-Semitic Malibu rant to alcoholism, and said he’s not the person he’s been made out to be in the headlines. (In a 2016 interview with Variety, Gibson addressed the DUI incident, saying he is now sober and finds it “annoying” that people bring up the incident 10 years later.)

Those close to Gibson believe he has paid the price, and has shown that he’s a changed man with no new controversies arising.»

My least favourite kind of anti-semitism. Mel can fuck right off.

Born in Peekskill, New York, Gibson moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia when he was 12 years old.

Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York, of Irish descent, the sixth of 11 children, and the second son of Hutton Gibson, a writer, and Irish-born Anne Patricia (née Reilly, died 1990). Gibson's paternal grandmother was opera contralto Eva Mylott (1875–1920), who was born in Australia to Irish parents, while his paternal grandfather, John Hutton Gibson, was a millionaire tobacco businessman from the Southern United States

So he's of Irish descent and raised in Australia - definitely an alcoholic then.

Lethal Weapon and Mad Max are pretty great too. I'm also a big fan of his delivery of the line "Give me back my Son!"

How is Anders able to rattle off these factoids so effortlessly?

But perhaps surprisingly, he was not only born in the USA, he has lived there a long time both as a kid and as an adult, and he also has deep family roots from the US. An American alcoholic.

Okay yeah, all forms of anti-semitism are bad.

Is Lethal Weapon really any good? I haven't watched those movies in ages and I doubt they hold up. But they were huge back in the day.

Its a little weird for a whole family to barge in on a grown man taking a bath. Actually it's a lot weird.
