Despite being one of the most decorated figures in Hollywood, Mel Gibson’s scandalous acts have often stirred up controversies in the past, which eventually led to his fall from grace. However, recent years have witnessed the director making a swift comeback to his roots, garnering an Oscar for best director for 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge, and has a promising slate of projects ahead.
Although the actor has come a long way since his past meltdowns, which involved an anti-Semitic rant under the possession of alcohol, a few years back, the scandal-scarred actor once again left his fans infuriated.
Mel Gibson charged fans $1300 for a personal experience with the Braveheart star
Following his appearance in London, Glasgow, Birmingham, and Leeds back in 2021, labeled as An Experience With Mel Gibson, it cost a staggering amount for fans who wanted to get close to the actor. The intimate Black Tie Dinner event involved Mel Gibson sharing some untold stories of his life and tumultuous career, as he reflected on his classics, including Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, and Hamlet. However, for fans who wanted to meet their icon in person and click some photos with Gibson and share a personal dinner, it’d cost them $1,300.
Considering the actor already have an extreme fortune of $425M, the price for taking a selfie with the Braveheart star came out as outrageous to a major fraction of his fans.
Mel Gibson’s future in Hollywood appears promising
Despite a few setbacks on his climb back to the top, things are looking pretty promising for Mel Gibson‘s future in Hollywood. With several scintillating movies on the horizon for the actor, including sequels to Lethal Weapon 4 and The Passion of the Christ, Gibson is also set to return to the director’s chair for Flight Risk.
Even though he garnered an Oscar win under his belt for his last stint as a director, the Braveheart star has been out of the spotlight for a while now. But after a 7-year hiatus from directing movies, Gibson is set to team up with Mark Wahlberg to mark his return as a director. Reflecting on the upcoming film Flight Risk, Lionsgate chairman Joe Drake stated,
“We love the undeniable electric pairing of Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg. These world-class talents combining for this dynamic, character-driven film will make Flight Risk one of the most suspense-filled, must-see events of the year.”
Although some of his recent acts haven’t sat well with the Braveheart star’s fans, at least it appears Gibson’s career might be finally heading in the right direction.
