80s Mel Gibson is more charismatic than any male leading actor today.

The average charisma of 2020's actors, both male and female, is that of a dead fish.

[@JoeyXSmith]

I miss his aussie accent. I wish he went back to Australia and made more Australian films again. He much loved over there. I wonder why he doesn't do that? America pretty much spat him out and wants nothing to do with him again.

[@pnut3844able]

I completely forgot he was an aussie until I saw this. I guess he lost his accent over the years. It wasn't a real strong one to begin with.

[@sk8trboi935]

I think Mel was born in America , and went back to Australia when he was a bit older , and then moved back to America.

[@redadamearth]

@@pnut3844able He's not an Aussie. He's American. Born in New York and grew up in New York. His family moved to Australia when he was 12, so he went to High School and drama school in Aus - but he's always been an American. He just picked up some of the accent in Australia.

[@ravens_tale]

@@redadamearthWhy are you Americans so hellbent on this? He lived his childhood in America. He lived his formative teenage years, and many years after that, in Australia. It helped form him. His grandmother was also Australian. Then he went back to America. He is both in a way, and I think he feels that way too. It doesn’t have to be either/or. Jeez

[@nenabunena]

​@redadamearth ĺol I think he is both, born in the US u til 12 but was raised in Australia until adulthood. He is very much an aussie culturally

[@vsboy2577]

His is a master director like Clint Eastwood.

[@nenabunena]

Apocalypto is an amazing film

[@DanAdlingtonOnline]

Mel Gibson has the charismatic glow. What makes no sense is the camera technology and editing technology is far superior today to anything back in the 1980s. But you watch the old movies and they have life. Their just so much better. What's happening to us?

[@maggierosell796]

[@scottknode898]

He was born in New York in 1956 but moved with his family to Australia in late 1960s and his paternal grandmother was born there. Mel Gibson attended school in Australia and college as well and began his acting career as films like Mad Max and Tim in 1979 and Gallipoli were made in Australia before moved to United States by 1984 when made his American debut in film with The Bounty and went to star in Lethal Weapon in 1987.

[@davidmargetts78]

Mel should have stayed in Australia. We treat him better than Hollywood.

No we (you) didn't. He did.

[@jamesdurkin3129]

I'll never understand how you lose the Australian accent

[@karenseery5064]

He had to learn it when he migrated to Australia, so it will have been easier to regress.

[@scottknode898]

He learned it or gained the accent when moved to Australia when he was a young kid as was born in New York and could hear the accent at times in Lethal Weapon and earlier films like Mad Max in 1979 and films that came after that that were filmed and released in Australia before he moved to United States in 1984.

[@Gregatseasonalsteins]

Back in those days...Mel was the bomb. And aside from his physical limitations and limited looks, he was a good guy.

[@scottknode898]

He wasn’t made to be a carbon copy of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger same with Bruce Willis as Willis and Gibsons characters were more human and not so stoic and muscular but they made their characters Riggs in Lethal Weapon and John McClane in Die Hard iconic when films came out in 1987 and 1988.

Too hard making four movies in a year, then take a year off. Tell that to the average Joe who has to work his entire life.

[@keithcanatsey9823]

I imagine it's more taxing than you realize to put it all out there and try to convincingly BECOME those characters. It takes long hours learning new skills, language dialects, etc.

[@karenseery5064]

​@@keithcanatsey9823absolutely. Not your average job.

[@greater-runner]

A film (like his) takes at least half the year... not to mention that he already had a large family to manage.
