WTF Happened To This Celebrity? – The JoBlo series that examines the careers of stars and filmmakers who may have fallen out of the spotlight, and tells where they are now!

For over two decades Mel Gibson was the king of Hollywood, from his launch to stardom in the MAD MAX movies and the LETHAL WEAPON franchise, to his acclaimed and successful shift behind the camera with BRAVEHEART and THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. But his battles with booze and inner demons eventually got the best of him, and his shining star was all but extinguished after publicized drunken tirades in 2006 and 2010. Although he has since returned as both actor and director, he retains only a fraction of his former A-list power. Gas up the V8 and find out “WTF Happened to MEL GIBSON!”

He may have a smaller career today but I'll always love his movies. I wouldn't want to work much in current woketard Hollywood and he doesn't exactly need the money so I'd say he's doing just fine.

what happened? he was born, that's waht happened. this guy has always been a coked up looney

Mel is one of the last of the truly talented in Hollywood. He's a phenomenal actor who can excel in any genre. And, he's an amazing director. What's more.....he actually has a personality. Fun, smart, self-deprecating.....Mel is just COOL.

i hope to be as drunk, racist, and the anti-semistic as mel gibson

[–] Ripkens25 (2014) 3 years ago

You must be perfect, flawless, without sins, demons or regret. How lonely it must be on that island of one, and standing in judgement of others.

Mel is indeed an alcoholic, and most likely bi-polar. He has admitted his sins, asked for forgiveness and made amends. If you’re unable to forgive, that says more about your character than his.

What’s more, I’m quite certain he has done more for charitable causes than you’d ever do in several lifetimes.

All of that being said, he also happens to be a great actor and great director. Good luck finding many people who’d disagree with that.

i just murdered someone, but i asked for forgiveness. i guess i am no longer a murderer.

also, yes i am flawed. does that mean i cannot criticize hitler? stalin? pol pot? anybody else who has made mistakes?

[–] Ripkens25 (2014) 3 years ago

It doesn't mean you're no longer a murderer. It means you're not beyond redemption.
And yes, by your own statement...Mel is a man who has made....mistakes. Haven't we all.

Haven't...................we all.

Here endeth the lesson.

Well you need to prove what you say is true. I get so tired of hearing cunts like you yapping about how someone is racist or an anti semite yet have zero evidence to prove it. Does he appear to dislike Jews? Yes... but to be an anti semite you need to be hostile at Jews for no reason beyond their being Jewish..well he stated the reason he hated them so he had reasons beyond their being Jewish... As for being a racist where is the proof of that? Or are you one of those ignorant cunts that thinks Jews are a race and not simply a group of religious nutters.

[–] Ripkens25 (2014) 3 years ago

Not sure who you're responding to....and I'm with you in taking up for Mel in general. But seriously........using the word "cunt"....and twice?? What a douchebag.

[–] e3e34ifj (1912) 3 years ago

wow no need to talk to ripkens25 that way. that is incredibly rude and offensive. how do you feel, thomas?

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

So don't read what offends you. Most every man or woman walking the planet today owns their life to being squeezed out a cunt, is childbirth offensive too?

[–] e3e34ifj (1912) 3 years ago

ooh so edgy. i bet you listen to green day while combing your hair over your eyes too? wow you are such a cool kid thomas. i bet your mom loves you alot.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

If you think that's edgy then you are more retarded than I thought, best put away any sharp object boy.

[–] e3e34ifj (1912) 3 years ago

ooh, typical edgelord neckbeard fedora tough guy talk, calling someone "boy". oh thomas. thomas, thomas, thomas. tommy tim tommaroo. isn't time for your weekly shower? put down the anime and apply the deodorant...

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

Well BOY it looks I struck a nerve why not go eat some watermelon and then hop on the back of the bus, boy.

[–] Hummusboy1 (473) 3 years ago

You are pathetic.

[–] msegmx (444) 3 years ago

Well said.

[–] Wint3rFir3 (7146) 3 years ago

Alcohol happened, which is a short way of saying he's probably got some deep unresolved issues he's been trying to avoid for a long time and it seems like they've caught up with him.

[–] TearofLys (2641) 3 years ago

He is still making movies on a regular basis and some of them are quite good. Even though it didn't turn a profit, I liked the Professor and the Madman. As far as not being "A-list", what does that even mean anymore? Tentpoles are losing big money, Scarjo is suing her studio, even a Duane Johnson film (Jungle Cruise) lost a shit ton of money.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

A-list used to have a different meaning, today it seems A-list just means the actor/actress has hired an aggressive PR team to pay random media outlets to run pointless stories on how they live and appears to have no connection to their ability to draw an actual audience to a film.

[–] Popcorngal (4779) 3 years ago

I use to respect him, but not anymore.

[–] TearofLys (2641) 3 years ago

Please, explain in detail why you have lost respect for him, and I will respond with the reason why my respect for him has only grown.

[–] LookMaAFag (145) 3 years ago

He stopped pandering to the Jew run Hollywood crowd and I’m proud of him for that.
