Bambu, my favorite person from Australia here in Malibu is Mel Gibson, he is a great actor, like Marlon Brando. He lived in Malibu at the same time that I did, at that time James Garner also lived there and Mel Gibson was friends with James Garner. As an actor after I finished acting school I called Mel Gibson's production company to send him a headshot and resume to try to get some acting work, and the lady asked me if I wanted to talk with Mel, and I was afraid to talk to him, I got scared and I just asked for the address to mail my picture and resume. Mel is one of the best, and I was scared to talk with him. It was silly, I should have talked with him and maybe he would have helped my career.
Mel Gibson had some problems with the Gays because of an interview that he did with Playboy Magazine where he stated that he did not like the Gays to look at his naked butt in his movies, he said it was for the women and not for the Gays. So, the Gays all took offense, and the whole Gay community rose up to attack Mel Gibson. Mel even got ran off of the road by a Gay over the incident. But, it is all cool now, the Gays stopped attacking Mel.
Then, Mel had a problem with getting drunk and attacking a police officer in Malibu, and saying bad things about the Jews. That was a foolish thing for Mel to do. The Jews help to run Hollywood, and if you want to work in Hollywood then you are going to be working with Jews. At Broadway in New York City, and in Hollywood, there are many powerful Jews, and you need to get along with the Jews because you will be working with Jews in the Entertainment Industry. So Mel apologized to the Jews.
Some more problems with the Jews arose when Mel made "The Passion of the Christ" because some bad Jews at the time of Jesus had Jesus executed, but it was all part of Jesus' plan, and we cannot blame the Jews, and Jesus himself was a Jew. Jesus was a Jew and if you love Jesus then you need to love Israel and the Jews. The Jews are God's chosen people, and Israel is the Holy Land.
Then, Mel got in a fight with his girlfriend from Russia and she recorded Mel screaming at her, and she make his rant public, which damaged Mel's career and made him look like a lunatic. She was a bad woman, and she tricked him and she made him look bad. He should have never dated her. And when you are a star you have to have self control and you never know if your calls are being recorded. So, Mel went to a Psychiatrist and to therapy for his anger issues.
Mel is doing good now, he is still acting. I think he still lives in Malibu at Cross Creek Road, and Mel has a big family.
As an actor and filmmaker I would love to work with Mel Gibson, and he is one of the greats like Brando, and DeNiro.
Mel Gibson is one of the best in the Entertainment Industry.
Salute,
Tony V.
