2:02 indeed 😎

[@alpheratz9]

I would love to see this whole interview! 😊

[@erickjason9092]

That black dude is total cringe.

[@Local1Laborer]

Bobby Rivers is unbearable as an interviewer

[@garyspence2128]

Bobby Rivers must have been higher than a kite. At least I hope he is. Not sure who's acting stranger, but Mel is Mel...

[@PontiacS.]

Mel is Completely Nuts.Still has a Little of that Aussie accent.

[@Extrikit]

Mel still has a little of his Australian accent here.

[@redadamearth]

Gibson was born in America and spent his entire childhood in the states. He just moved to Australia with his family when he was around 12 years old. He faked his accent in the Mad Max films. He's never really had an Australian accent. He may have picked it up a little in High School and Drama School in Australia, but it was never as strong as you hear it in the Max films - that was a put on.

[@marguskiis7711]

Gibson mocks crippled people here.

[@keithcanatsey9823]

Yeah, it was a different time when people weren't going around looking for things to be offended about.

[@6610stix]

@@keithcanatsey9823 Yeah The funny thing is they were cripples and lepers then and they're cripples and lepers now. Do the math zippy.

[@ExtremeBeatlesArchive]

At least he shows respect for Monkees.

[@aliceborealis]

Imaginary crippled people.

[@redadamearth]

@@keithcanatsey9823 Uh. Making fun of crippled and handicapped people is a shit thing to do. It's not like it's something that was ever okay, dude. Are you clamoring to make fun of crippled people or something? FFS.

[@TheAuteurist23]

Wow he REALLY likes these crap jokes from Mel Gibson

[@ARichardP]

Looks like phony, TV laughter to me. Like they have on the morning TV programs.

[@kait.5437]

Wtf 😂😂

[@evdallas123]

He has a strange accent

[@Rollin_L]

Gibson is American born, but grew up in Australia. His early films like Gallipoli and the Mad Max series display his Australian upbringing. So his accent was a bit of a hybrid at that time.

[@redadamearth]

@@Rollin_L Actually, he grew up in America. He didn't move to Australia until he was 12 years old, so he spent his entire childhood in the states. He only spent his High School and Drama School years in Australia. His accent has always been "American"; George Miller told him to "do an Australian accent" for the Max films.

[@Rollin_L]

@@redadamearth Thanks for the clarification. Also, before the Mad Max films, there was Gallipoli.
