Biography
|
Mel Gibson (born January 3, 1956) is an American-born Australian-reared actor, director and producer best known for acting in the Mad Max movie series, the Lethal Weapon series, Braveheart and directing The Passion of the Christ.
Overview Gibson was born Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson in Peekskill, New York, the sixth child of eleven born to Hutton and Ann Gibson.
Gibson was born with a physical anomaly called "Horseshoe kidney". His two kidneys are fused at the base into a U shape. This fusion anomaly occurs in about one of every 400 people.
Although he maintained his United States citizenship, he was raised in Australia from the age of twelve. Following a victory on the TV game show Jeopardy!, Gibson's father, Hutton, moved his family to Australia in 1968 in protest of the Vietnam War and because he believed that changes in American society were immoral.
Some people have attacked his father Hutton Gibson for religious views that he says are based on Catholic Traditionalism, and on his political opinions. A member of a Roman Catholic group that chooses not to accept as valid current Church teachings deriving from Vatican II, Mel Gibson has donated money to finance the construction of a traditional Catholic chapel in Malibu, California, called Holy Family. It has been alleged that Mel Gibson and his father are members of a sect called "the Holy Family sect", but many question whether the congregation would actually qualify as a sect considering its size (only about 70 members) and single place of worship. The congregation has procured the services of an Independent (Sedevacantist) priest, Fr. Louis Campbell.
Gibson, 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) married Robyn Moore on June 7 1980 with whom he Has 7 children: daughter, Hannah (born 1980); twin sons, Edward and Christian (born 1982); son, Willie (born 1985); son, Louis (born 1988); son, Milo (born 1990); son, Tommy (born 1999).
In early 2005, Mago Island was purchased by Gibson. Natives to the island plan to protest Gibson's plans to turn the island into a private getaway. Gibson purchased the island from Japan's Tokyu corporation for $15 million.
