Mel Gibson biography
Born in Peekskill, New York, on January 3, 1956, Mel Gibson moved to Australia during his youth and went on to pursue a film career. After appearing in the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon film series, Gibson directed and starred in the Academy Award-winning Braveheart and directed the biblical drama The Passion of the Christ, the historical action film Apocalypto and the World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge, which earned him an Oscar nomination for directing.
Gibson's American film debut in 1984's The River was considered a success. The film earned four Academy Award nominations, including a best actress nod for Sissy Spacek. In 1985, Gibson returned to Australia to complete the Mad Max trilogy in the less-impressive Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, which also starred singer Tina Turner. Later that year, the actor's popularity was confirmed when he was featured on the cover of People as the magazine's first-ever "Sexiest Man Alive."
After a brief hiatus, Gibson returned to the screen with the blockbuster hit Lethal Weapon (1987), playing volatile cop Martin Riggs opposite Danny Glover, who portrayed by-the-book character Roger Murtaugh. The success of Lethal Weapon inspired three sequels—Lethal Weapon 2(1989), Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) and Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)—all featuring Glover and Gibson in their respective roles as "good cop" and "bad cop."
Hollywood A-List
In Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet (1990), Gibson gave a notable performance as the tormented prince. Hamlet also marked the first film produced by Gibson's newly formed production company, Icon Productions. (Other productions by Icon include the Beethoven biopic Immortal Beloved(1994) and the 1997 remake of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenia.)
Gibson appeared in a few poorly received films in the early 1990s, including Air America (1990) and the sappy Forever Young (1992). He made his feature directorial debut with the 1993 tearjerker The Man Without a Face, in which he also starred as a severely disfigured burn victim.
Gibson released his most passionate project to date in 1995, directing and starring as 13th century Scottish nobleman Sir William Wallace in the medieval epic Braveheart. The film went on to triumph at the Oscars, winning top honors in five categories, including best picture and best director. Also in '95, Gibson diversified his range of characters by providing the voice of John Smith in Disney's Pocahontas.
In the late '90s, Gibson starred in a handful of crime thrillers, including 1996's Ransom (with Renee Russo and Gary Sinise), 1997's Conspiracy Theory (with Julia Roberts) and the independent film Payback (1999). In 2000, the actor headlined the highly anticipated war saga The Patriot, in which he played a reluctant hero during the American Revolution. That same year, he starred in the romantic comedy What Women Wantalongside Helen Hunt, Lauren Holly and Bette Midler.
Personal Life
In 1980, Gibson married Robyn Moore. The couple had seven children together before filing for divorce in 2009. Shortly after his divorce proceedings began, Gibson began dating singer Oksana Grigorieva. The couple had their first child shortly before splitting in 2010.
Gibson came under investigation for domestic abuse soon after their separation, with taped phone conversations of the actor spouting racial slurs and admitting to hitting Grigorieva surfacing on the internet. Gibson admitted to slapping Grigorieva once with an open palm, but refuted her claim that he'd punched her numerous times. During the 2011 trial, Gibson peaded "no contest" to a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence. He was sentenced to three years' probation, one year of domestic-violence counseling and community service, in addition to several fines. As a result, Gibson was denounced by Hollywood colleagues and dropped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
In September 2016, Gibson's rep confirmed that the actor and his girlfriend of two years, Rosalind Ross, were expecting his ninth child.
