Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson is a famous Australian and American actor, director, screenwriter and producer. As director, Mel Gibson was nominated for prestigious film awards for the Academy Award and Golden Globe for the drama "Braveheart" and the war film "Conscience." In addition to film awards, he was also awarded the status of honorary officer of the Order of Australia.

Mel Gibson (full name Mel Colm-Kille Gerard Gibson) was born in January 1956 in A City of New York - Pixkill. He was the sixth child of the Irish, Hutton and Anne Gibson. After him, five more children were born. The future actor got his name in honor of St. Mel. Gibson's parents were zealous Catholics.

When Mel was 10 years old, the family moved to Australia. There the guy graduated from school and went to Sydney, where he entered the theater school. Gibson's cinematic biography began in his youth, at a time when the actor was still in his higher education. He made his successful debut in the film "Summer City".

After graduating from the theater school Mel actively makes films. In 1979, two films - "Tim" and "Mad Max" - appeared on the big screens. Both films have considerable success. Critics favor Gibson's work, and the actor receives the first awards in different categories.

World fame came to him three years later. The second part of the action film "Mad Max" was released on the screens. After this film, Gibson becomes his own in Hollywood. In 1984, a new picture "Bounty" was published, shot at the "Dream Factory". Mel appears in one of the main roles.

In the early 1990s, the artist opened his own film company, calling it Icon Productions. In these years he tries his hand at the role of a director. Mel Gibson's debut film , the director is the picture "Man without a face." This project was not particularly successful, but it cannot be called a failure.

But Gibson's second film was extremely successful. The epic drama about the struggle of Scots for independence, called "Braveheart", brought Mel real fame. The project received 10 Academy Award nominations at once, and half of them were awarded.

In parallel with the director's career, Gibson continues to star in box office films. In 1994, the actor played Brat Maverick in the comedy western Maverick. In 1999 he appeared in the title role in the crime drama "Reckoning", which was based on the novel "The Huntsman" by Richard Stark.

In 2000, Gibson starred in films that increased his popularity. Mel appeared in the comedy "What's Women," where he played Lobelas Nick, who suddenly got a chance to read women's thoughts. In the same year, the actor plays the title role in the film "Patriot" dedicated to the events during the War of Independence of the United States.

Gibson's next directorial project, The Passion of The Christ, was released in 2004 and shocked audiences and critics. The film showed the last 12 hours of Jesus Christ's life, his memories before the crucifixion and the events of people's lives, one way or another related to the crucifixion. The main role of Jesus Christ was played by James Caviezel, and the role of Mary Magdalene was played by Monica Bellucci.

The painting faithfully recreated the life of Palestine at the beginning of our era. Aramaic and Hebrew languages were used. Details of everyday life were extremely accurate. But the scenes of cruelty the director displayed so authentically that not all of them can watch them. Critics then accepted the tape sharply-negative reviews. But the audience and Pope John Paul II praised the film. The project successfully passed at the box office and brought the creators a lot of money.

The actor publicly supports the views of Traditionalist Catholics. After the film was released on the screen at a meeting with Catholic fans, the director stated that the author of the film is the Holy Spirit, and Gibson himself was only a conductor of ideas going from above. Also in an interview for the New Yorker magazine, the director admitted that he has signs that, according to the star of the screen, understand any Catholic.

One of Mel's most successful films as a director was released in 2006 - Apocalypse. Despite the title, apocalypse is not a disaster film. This film is a historical epic about the life of the Mayan tribe, about the period of extinction of a mysterious civilization. Events take place at the end of the Colombian era, in the 15th century, in Yucatan. All the characters of the film speak, respectively, in yucatan.

In 2010, Gibson again drew attention to his acting work. He starred as an investigator in the thriller The Revenant. The film became a remake of the popular television series of the same name, shot by the BBC channel in 1985. The same people - Martin Campbell and Michael Weering - worked on the remake and the series as a director and producer.

In 2012, Gibson began working on "Seven Nights," though he has previously stated that Apocalypse is his last directorial work. At the same time, the actor played in the crime thriller "Fun Vacation", where he introduced a criminal who stole $4 million.

In 2013, the artist appeared in Robert Rodriguez's thrash-fighter "Machete Kills", and in 2014 joined the cast of the action movie "The Expendables-3", which was gradually joined by most of the stars of militants of yesteryear.

2016 was the fifth directorial work of Mel Gibson, a biographical military drama "Conscience" based on real events. The film tells the story of Corporal Desmond Doss, a participant of the Second World War. The corporal became the first conscientious objector to receive the highest U.S. military award, the Medal of Honor.

According to religious views, Desmond refused to take the course of shooting and generally take up arms, but the soldier escaped the tribunal and became a military nurse. Doss volunteered for the position. He saved his colleagues under bullets without fear of death. The role of the corporal in the film was played by Andrew Garfield. Mel Milo's son was involved in the shooting. This is his first job in the frame. The young man followed in his father's footsteps and also decided to conquer Hollywood.

In 2017, Mel Gibson was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for his work. "Conscience" won two Oscars for light and sound and entered the top 250 according to the imDb film website.

In scandalous situations Mel Gibson gets quite often. It is known that his father is a Catholic traditionalist, whose views are marked by extreme conservatism. For example, he called the Second Vatican Cathedral a consequence of the conspiracy of Freemasons with Jews, and the Holocaust - a fabrication of the zionists.

Gibson responded harshly to journalists' criticism of his father's views. It must be said that the actor and director never had much ceremony with journalists. For example, a New York Times reporter said the star was "ready to kill him like a dog." In even worse terms, he referred to his biographer.

In 1984, Gibson was stripped of his driver's license because of his alcohol intoxication. As Mel admitted, his addiction to alcohol once almost pushed him to commit suicide. But a few years later, in 2006, the star was again arrested for driving under the influence.

Mel Gibson was heavily criticised for anti-Semitic remarks and homophobia. And he categorically refused to apologize to sex minorities. The artist also confessed his sympathies to traditionalist Catholics who reject stem cell research.

Mel Gibson's first wife was Robin Moore. He met her in 1979. The girl worked as a dentist's assistant and lived next door to an aspiring actor. A year later, the couple decided to get married. It happened after a street fight, during which Mel suffered a concussion. At the time of treatment, only Robin was next to him. The couple lived together until 2009. Seven children were born in this marriage.

In the spring of 2009, the tabloids reported on changes in the personal life of the screen star. It becomes known that Mel and his wife have not been together for 3 years. The reason for the break-up of the family was russian actress and pianist Oksana Grigorieva. In May of the same year, at one of the shows, Gibson announced that grigorieva would soon give birth to his 8th child.

And so it happened. In the autumn Grigorieva gave birth to a daughter Lucia. For a new family, the artist purchased a mansion in Malibu for $11.5 million from his colleague David Duchovny. The house is located in a hilly area, the whole area is buried in greenery, and from the side of the pool offers a beautiful view of the ocean. Eleven years later, the artist decided to sell the estate for $14.5 million.

The relationship with the new passion did not immediately develop. In the spring of 2010, the couple officially divorced. The divorce proceedings were accompanied by high-profile scandals. Oksana accused her ex-husband of domestic violence and demanded substantial alimony. The actress made public a recording of the home scandal on the internet, which thoroughly damaged the star's screen reputation.

In the fall of 2012, the tabloids wrote about Gibson's affair with Ashley Cusato, an athlete and stuntwoman. This relationship quickly dried up.

In 2016, it was announced that Mel Gibson would become a father for the 9th time. The 59-year-old artist was preparing to give birth to 24-year-old Rosalind Ross. Previously, she worked as an acrobat-rider. The couple had a son, Lars Gerard, in early 2017.

Mel Gibson shows indifference to social networks, preferring live communication with friends and fans, but Instagram has a lot of fan pages dedicated to his work. The actor often surprises the audience with eccentric actions.

For example, by the age of 60, he had a voluminous beard that made him look like Santa Claus. The artist assured that he would not part with the hair, which his grandchildren love. But in early 2017, on the eve of the Golden Globe Awards, Gibson changed his mind and got rid of the vegetation on his face. In the photo, which adorned many of the world's tabloids, the screen star appeared rejuvenated.

In the fall of 2018, the Venice Film Festival hosted the premiere of the crime action movie "Sunset in the Asphalt", starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn. The main characters of the story are the police officers, who were suspended from service for using illegal interrogation methods. Needing a livelihood, they begin to pursue a drug dealer, which leads to big problems in their lives. The film received good reviews from film critics. In March 2019 it was presented in Cinemas in Russia.

Recent projects in the artist's filmography include the historical drama "Professor and the Madman", in which Mel appeared as the editor of the "Oxford Dictionary of English" James Murray. Also in the film appeared Sean Penn, Jeremy Irwin, Natalie Dormer. The film is associated with several trials between the project's director Farhad Safinia, Mel Gibson and the film-making company Voltage Pictures. Due to protracted proceedings, the premiere of the drama was postponed until April 2019.

Now the release is preparing a sci-fi film "The Last Level", in which Mel will reappear in the title role. The star also competed in the drama "Black Flies" and the action movie "Pigs of War." As a filmmaker, Gibson is preparing a new project dedicated to the figure of Jesus Christ. The film "The Passion of Christ: Resurrection" is in the process of being prepared for filming.
