Mel Gibson: Partly a victim as a result of his own anti-semitic remarks?

kiwi_2005 · 10-16-06, 04:28 PM

Mel has been a big drinker even before his early days of his career he once claimed he was pissed as a hen when filming his Mad Max movies - their is no doubt the guy is a alcoholic yet is hiding behind it with his fame and fortune. Hes a aussie, a binge drinker ( sorry aussie mates) we kiwis aren't far behind anyways

. So all Mel has shown is the typical alcoholic that gets rotten drunk and then goes on a verbal abuse rant about other nationalities or what not. Then wakes up the next day and wishes he fell in a bottemless hole:rotfl:

If he had said im very sorry for what ive done i have a alcohol problem and i was wrong in saying what i said then the guy should be treated like a king but all ive read is the typical alcoholic rant - making alot of excuses. Its common in alcoholics.

They said Mel Gibson couldn't pull off a Scotsman when he made Braveheart, and it turns out that he's both an alchoholic, and a racist.

Mel is American. He came to Australia when he was young after his father died (his mother is Australian). It's a bit like Russell Crow is a New Zealander, but he says he Australian.

If NEw Zealand want him, you can have him back, just give us Keisha Castle-Hughes back.... No, changed my mind, you can have them both.

Huh? Care to explain?

He wasn't very convincing after all the true Scotsman has no long johns under his kilt.

Did anyone spot the errors in that film? What a joke.

I was surprised that Scotland did not declare war on Mel Gibson, may have something to do with he was there number customer for scotch whiskey at the time.

May be. :hmm:

I wouldn't worry too much about Mel...with the bank he made on The Passion, he'll be back. There's already some prominent Jewish producers who said they'd work with him in the future. The lure of the almighty $$ is pretty strong.

The bottom line is that, for a while longer, the U.S. is still a free country. Mel is free to be a drunken bigot, and the rest of us are free to decide whether or not to see his movies. Why this whole episode was news past the first 24 hours of the story is beyond me, personally.
