Clive James meets Mel Gibson

Extensive interview with one of my favourite actors, at the time when he was making some of my favourite movies. Before some of the later controversies he faced. Cuts off a couple of minutes before the end of the show I'm afraid, but really interesting watch.

[@josephtenney8426]

I love Mel! He’s such an amazing person and beautiful man. And a real man’s man.

[@MJ-fj9yv]

Mel Gibson is an amazingly talented yet a humble human being

[@jamescopen9817]

a man withe irish blood in his veins

[@knownpleasures]

His humility is fake! He was a huge movie star by 1997 and he knew it !

[@MJ-fj9yv]

@@knownpleasures Relax peep squeak, Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein have proven Mel’s rantings 💯 correct.

[@southlondon86]

What the hell does sugar t-s even mean?

[@JasonCanton]

I have this on VHS that I recorded back in the UK in the 90's i believe. Great show! Thanks for s sharing.

[@andymc96]

I remember watching it back then.

[@Stuart3162]

Thanks for posting. I looked hard for this in lockdown. I saw it in the 90s. It was great. Quite a few bits missing though.

[@davebudge4526]

For anyone whose interested Mel is showing Clive a variation of a reverse crunch ab exercise at 30 mins 30 secs and he's doing them flawlessly with great form. Later.

[@Verkelos]

Thank you sir 👌

[@elvisobsessor]

enjoyed every second of this. thanks so much. Mel's one of a kind. so grateful he exists.

[@TumblingDicE8]

Mel is the man. Love this guy man. We all go through life and sometimes we encounter speed bumps. For some of us, sink holes 😂. But its not falling down that makes someone. It's how you get back up and push on that defines one. Great actor, even better person.

[@DaboooogA]

This took place relatively early in his producing career - he went on to make some of the best films of his career in subsequent years.

[@daveb3987]

Wow, how annoying was George Clooney. Great to see Clive, miss him.

[@etme1000]

Ah, but it's not quite the whole thing.. anyway, one of my favorite documentaries...

[@TheRealDarthVader66]

Yes, old VHS recording and lost the very end I'm afraid.

[@THEWOLFE-007]

10:50 I met Rene what a sweet girl she is I met her on the set of IN THE LINE OF FIRE movie set----she treated me so kind and gave me a FULL ON hug in front of my wife and WENDY FOSTER of Santa Barabara FAME who's Husband owned the SANTA BARBARA Winery from 1962 to 2023

[@platogenova9573]

Great upload. Thank you!

[@DC-wp6oj]

Hardly an interview of any kind more of a stroll around with Mel.

[@KyleCorwith]

Amazing tape!

[@thomaswillans4085]

They're cloning Clooney 😂❤

[@THEWOLFE-007]

How cool Hanging out wioth Mel. My Brother ran into him in a private club restaurant in 2005, said he looked Pissed off and smoking a good cigar.

[@platogenova9573]

This is great. Saw this on tv when it came out. You can bet when Mel went through his troubles, smart-@ss Clooney would’ve been nowhere to be seen.

[@sladjanasimic5486]

He is the best!

[@brooksideradio]

Great episode, love Payback, Mel is awesome.

[@user-qm3vm1cw8]

I like the drawing of Tash on glass lol

[@TumblingDicE8]

28:59 love the subtle shot at Clooney 😂

[@knownpleasures]

No mention of Batman and Robin funnily enough, just released that summer!

[@CDubya.82]

Dang, been looking for this for years and the only version I've found is cut short

[@TheRealDarthVader66]

Yes, sorry. An old VHS recording, lost the ending. Just a couple of minutes.

[@nostradamuscat1131]

Please post the rest!!

[@TheRealDarthVader66]

Lost I'm afraid , old VHS recording and cut off the very end. Only a minute or 2.

[@henrilindroos3029]

Looks like fun times 😄

[@dawitdave5504]

Please Upload next video or post mel more videos it's Awesome

[@ProdSangreNueva]

What a character that Mel Gibson is 😂

[@StellaAdler_]

Legend!

[@bokehintheussr5033]

Mel let's his real Australian accent slip out at times in this.

[@martinafehl2093]

Er hat einen tollen Humor 😁 Maverick, ein Trio zum kaputtlachen 👍👍👍

[@user-op8di3ct7r]

Mel,I am Mayan I love you too.

[@doginu]

Payback was great...

[@user-qm3vm1cw8]

I have to be careful when writing . Because of my Darth. I mean my father whom Banksi in wherever they be

[@happyolddude]

Mel still has his Aussie accent in this story. He has lost most of it over the years but very evident here.

[@fatalconceit3362]

Mel spoke with both accents equally well and switched deliberately depending on the circumstance. He was raised and had lived in the USA until the age of 10.

[@TubbsFarquhar]

Really? He sounds full-on American to me?

[@happyolddude]

@@TubbsFarquhar I can strongly recommend a hearing aid place for you

[@TubbsFarquhar]

@@happyolddude I recommend you talk to an Australian or two.

[@happyolddude]

@@TubbsFarquhar I am Australian mate!

[@cameronheidelauf9623]

Mel Gibson is always always always still a Australian actor

[@dawitdave5504]

Upload part we want to see the ending

[@TheRealDarthVader66]

Sorry, old VHS recording and lost the very end I'm afraid. Only a minute or 2.

[@queenslander954]

Mr Vader .. eh , you wouldn’t have part 2 of this Mel Gibson thingo with Clive James would you ?

[@TheRealDarthVader66]

Old VHS recording and lost the very end I'm afraid. Was only a couple of minutes.

[@KyleCorwith]

[@TheRealDarthVader66]
