His new film, Hacksaw Ridge - about the first conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor in World War II - is the latest in a long line of hopeful comebacks. Gibson’s knack for anti-semitic hate speech eventually turned him into a pariah, and ten years after he hit bottom, he’s still somewhat lost in the wilderness. At that moment Gibson was the biggest name in Hollywood … and then came the fall. He hit his creative apex with the 1995 historical epic Braveheart, which won him a Best Picture at the Oscars. He was introduced as the ruggedly charming Australian newcomer in George Miller’s original Mad Max film and then hit superstardom as the memorably insane expat in 1980s hits like Lethal Weapon and its sequels. Mel Gibson was once a cinematic force to be reckoned with.
