Mel Gibson biography

Gibson was born on January 3, 1956, in Peekskill, New York, the sixth of eleven children and the second son of writer Hutton Gibson and Irish-born Anne Patricia.

Gibson’s paternal grandmother, opera contralto Eva Mylott (1875–1920), was born in Australia to Irish parents, while his paternal grandfather, tobacco tycoon John Hutton Gibson, was a billionaire from the American South.

Donal Gibson, one of Gibson’s younger brothers, is also an actor.

Gibson claims that his first name comes from St Mel’s Cathedral, the fifth-century Irish saint who founded Gibson’s mother’s native diocese, Ardagh.

Gibson’s middle name, Colmcille, is both the name of an Irish saint and the village in County Longford where Gibson’s mother was born and reared.

Gibson has both Irish and American citizenship because to his mother.

Gibson is a permanent resident of Australia.

On February 14, 1968, Gibson’s father was granted US$145,000 in a work-related-injury case against the New York Central Railroad, and his family moved to West Pymble, Sydney, Australia.

At the time, Gibson was 12 years old.

Education

Gibson was educated at St Leo’s Catholic College in Wahroonga, New South Wales, by members of the Congregation of Christian Brothers throughout his high school years.

Career

When Gibson initially entered the film industry, he received glowing reviews from reviewers and was compared to a number of legendary movie actors.

Later in his career, Gibson took on a range of parts, including human tragedies like the Franco Zeffirelli film adaptation of Hamlet (1990) and humorous roles like those in Maverick (1994) and What Women Want (2000).

Stage

Gibson immediately began filming Mad Max after graduating in 1977, although he continued to work as a theatrical actor and joined the State Theatre Company of South Australia in Adelaide.

Hollywood

Mark Rydell’s drama The River (1984), in which Gibson and Sissy Spacek played impoverished Tennessee farmers, was Gibson’s debut American feature.

Gibson split his time between commercial and personal ventures throughout the 1990s.

Gibson received a record-breaking $25 million for his role in The Patriot (2002).

Gibson was dismissed from William Morris Endeavor’s talent agency in 2010, following a public outburst directed at his ex-girlfriend.

Director

Gibson has credited his filmmakers with teaching him the craft of filmmaking and inspiring him as a director, notably George Miller, Peter Weir, and Richard Donner. Studio officials, according to Robert Downey Jr., pushed Gibson to try directing in 1989, which he rejected at the time.

Gibson said in September 2002 that he would direct The Passion in Aramaic and Latin with no subtitles in order to “transcend linguistic barriers via filmic narrative.”

He co-wrote, co-produced, and directed the controversial picture The Passion of the Christ, which he co-wrote, co-produced, and directed in 2004.

In the 2005 teaser trailer for Apocalypto, Gibson incorporated a single frame of himself smoking a cigarette.
