About (Profile/Biography):

An actor, film director, and producer, Mel Gibson has become a well-known figure in America. Although he was born in New York, his family had to move to Sydney, Australia when he was 12 due to safety concerns and domestic disputes. Character interpretations that he’s played throughout his career in films include the Mad Max series and the Lethal Weapon series. His impressive performances have earned him an Academy Award. After high school, Gibson went on to pursue theater in Australia where he discovered himself and passion for acting.

Career:
• Gibson's transition from actor to filmmaker, which was successful, led to comparisons to Clint Eastwood. Outside of his professional life, however, his reputation has been tarnished by controversies, including his drinking, drunk driving, domestic abuse, drug abuse, and claims that he is homophobic, anti-Semitic, racist, and misogynist.
• Gibson's directing abilities were just as impressive as his playing abilities, as the movie Braveheart demonstrated to the audience.
• After leaving the theatre, Gibson quickly delivered his first successful film, Mad Max, in Australia before captivating audiences in the US with its sequels and other films.

Achievements and Awards:

In 1991, 1997, 2001, 2003, and 2004, he took home the prize for Favorite Motion Picture Actor at the People's Choice Awards.

Gibson started dating Grigorieva in 2009, and they eventually had Lucia. A year later, they parted ways.

Unknown facts:

Gibson’s father was worried that both of his sons might be enlisted into the Vietnam War if he remained in the country.
