Mel Gibson is a hero to us Australians 🇦🇺. Retire to Australia and, for all you've done and been through, you are a great Aussie Legend.

[@s.e.wagger3888]

Did you see how Hollywood turned on him when he started "outing" them for their peadophilia? And the Hollywood sycophant Press took a chunk out of him as well. Unfortunately, Mel Gibson is not the only star to be character-assassinated by the Hollywood mob for not "towing the line".

[@narnorfyabizness5470]

Too bad he's a yank.

[@JoelDavies-cl6nr]

I wouldn't call him a hero, he wasn't even born here.

[@M1cha3lP]

Still one of my favourite actors, despite all he's been through.

[@user-ry6uh6sh6s]

He is the most beautiful person ever, and have a very soft beautiful heart ❤

[@russellkellett9535]

So proud to call him an Australian actor

[@sexobscura]

who was actually born in the States

[@mackash]

But he isn't Australian. He is American. He just lived here for a bit.

[@russellkellett9535]

@@mackash he is American born yes but he started his acting career in Australia so that makes him an Australian actor

[@michaelmartin8964]

​@@mackash Mel Gibson is of Australian descent. For context, his paternal grandmother (his father’s mother) was born in Australia. So Mel is Australian by descent, not by birth

[@josiequintela7238]

Mel will always be an Aussie!!! 🥰🥂🇦🇺

Wonderful! A great guy! 😊

We think so too!

Mel Gibson is a original Australian actor way way before he went to Hollywood because Mel Gibson mum and dad was Americans citizens but his parents decided to move to Australia 🇦🇺 when Mel Gibson was a little boy and he grew up doing acting school in Australia 🇦🇺 he did a Australian Anzac movie and he was the original mad max in 1 and 2

[@markwegner6821]

What a great background you've provided, for Mel's early years, Cameron. All the best to you.

[@rogvortex58]

One of NIDA’s many successes.

[@sexobscura]

and he was also a 'dogs body' actor long before Mad Max set his career going, too

[@user-ry6uh6sh6s]

Sure we all love him so dearly ❤️

[@Electricshrock]

At about 7:00 when he's talking to the young girl, his Aussie accent comes back.

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

And Hollywood banned him unbelievable

[@jackko21]

Cause he spoke the truth about what goes on down there

[@davidcarrol110]

The Golden Globes run in with Ricky Gervais finished him🍺🍺

[@ThisZombieBitesEverything]

You do realise your comment is only two days old and he has done lots of movies since the moment he was so called “ban” 😂 that fact alone is proof that your comment means nothing 😂

[@sexobscura]

forget being banned - he should be imprisoned

[@marcs8096]

[@originalotto7126]

The gerbil.

[@MichaelKingsfordGray]

A pity that he went mad.

[@rogvortex58]

From Mad Max to Mad Mel.

[@mariorodriguezperez9580]

Agreed. He was cool in the beginning

[@crikey6981]

I think he's had his up and downs in a work environment hedonism and egoism....you're gonna get burned when you work in that field. That said, he's done alright. In the same circumstances I bet you would have been as solid of a Tibetan monk in the Himalayas

[@PAlex-us4ov]

Allegedly. Imagine working in a conglomeration full of narcissists and pedos. Easy to label you as mad if you separate yourself from it.

[@user-ry6uh6sh6s]

Why did he went mad???

[@richardleslie82]

Whatever happened to that nice young man? Nothing controversial I assume

[@grazstarr]

Did someone say drugs?

[@davemustaki134]

He was never Aussie no wonder he turned his back on us

[@sexobscura]

*I guess this appearance was fine. Gibson mustn't've been aware that Ossie is in fact Jewish*

[@josiequintela7238]

Give it up & get off your high horse. He’s a good man now, he knows he did wrong. He’s made up for it.
