Mel Gibson

Action hero constant Mel Gibson first studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. Here, he got a taste of theater work, starring with Judy Davis in Romeo and Juliet. The 1980s continually saw him rise to fame. His work involves a mix of acting, directing and producing, but he is perhaps best known for his work as a director of The Passion of the Christ, which was released in 2004. It was a highly controversial film, much like Gibson himself.

Some are wondering what has happened to the actor-producer. For some time, he was forced out of Hollywood after being arrested for driving under the influence. He then made a comeback with Hacksaw Ridge, which saw him being nominated for six Academy Awards. More recently, he had to deal with his health insurance company as he was brought to a healthcare facility for a pandemic-related sickness, which thankfully, he recovered from.
