Mel Gibson – a man who’s way too into himself
Mel Gibson Police Mug Shot
The only film I’ve ever liked Mel Gibson in was “Mad Max” (the original). Not only did the film capture my attention, but I thought he was wicked cute. “Braveheart” was also good, especially the end (heartbreaking & riveting), but by then he’d done so many of those awful “Lethal Weapon” movies, I frankly couldn’t stand him.
I rarely give actors a second thought but Mel, I must say, is the exception.
When he left his wife of almost thirty years for a younger woman, I thought: typical.
When he allegedly socked the new girlfriend or wife (I can’t recall if he married her) in the jaw while she was holding their baby, I thought: creep.
And now, with what the internet is reporting about how he views Jews, women and African-Americans, I’m thinking: time to get a reality check, Mel.
1. You’re not wicked cute anymore. You’re a middle-aged man and you sure as hell haven’t aged as well as Sean Connery or George Clooney.
2. You’re not the world’s best actor. Face it, you’ve been lucky to have garnered so many fans.
3. You’re not worthy of any woman’s time. There are a lot of guys out there, Mel. Younger guys. Better looking guys. Nicer guys. Richer guys. Far more intelligent guys. Guys who know when to shut up. Something you seem to have an enormous problem with.
Get over yourself, Mel. If not for your fans then for your many, many children that you brought into this mess you call your life. They deserve a better father. Unlike your fans, they can’t just walk away from you.
