I've been a fan of Mel
Gibson longer than I care to remember and was saddened by his dalliance and love child with a Russian woman who had had a child earlier with former Bond, Timothy Dalton. Had Mel gone off his head? Mel, the action star, the practical joker on the sets, who had a large brood from his happy marriage to the same woman - his childhood sweetheart- for decades. A rarity in Hollywood, OK, make that showbiz.
I'm sorry Mel knocked up the woman, but I'm glad he's left her. I would like him to make reparation ( support his new child) and go back to his (ex) wife. That would make me really happy.
For now, it's good to know he's returned to acting for the first time in eight years in a feature
adaptation of the BAFTA award winning 80s BBC drama EDGE OF DARKNESS, directed by Martin
Campbell.
The Braveheart star has not topped the bill in front of the camera
since Signs
and We
Were Soldiers in 2002, having concentrated on directing with The
Passion of the Christ
in 2004 and Apocalypto in 2006. Now, I'm looking forward to his new film.
