<p dir="auto">In the public eye, do you think Mel can make it back big to how he was at the start of his career?<br />
Robert Downey Jr. had a moment but be cam back strong and he's now loved all around thw world.<br />
I hate to say it but the same applies to Justin Bieber (yes he's a lot younger and probably more atupid but) he said and done things where the people turned him down. Now he's back and probably bigger that ever.<br />
I would just love to see Mel Gibson in a lot more movies. I don't know if it's because he's cut back on the films he makes or whether it's because a lot doesn't want to work with him.<br />

<p dir="auto">No.  He's too old.  He's also too prideful and unapologetic.  And good for him.  Ain't nothing worth spending the rest of your career groveling and pretending to be humble.  It just sucks we got robbed of the last ten years of Mel's youthful years before he becomes an old man.  Lost a batch of great movies there.<br />

<p dir="auto">Where's the fruit of the Spirit?  How many women has he been living with since he supposedly was "redeemed"?  How many children has he fathered out of wedlock?  I honestly don't know, because I can't take the man's "Christianity" seriously since there's no difference in the way he lives and the way a godless unbeliever lives.  He might play church, but that's it.<br />
But he seems to have gotten his career back, and that's the main thing, isn't it?</p>

Exactly.  Jesus said, "Those without sin cast the first stone" Mel said Jesus was the only true hero on earth. I believe his relationship with him is the most personal and the only one that truly counts in this world. He is forgiven by the only one that mattersJesus.<br />
But the hatersthey need to stop hating anyone, it's just wrong and hypocritical to call Mel out and be one yourself.<br />
Mel stopped drinking and smoking years ago; he said he's trying to better himself. Good, that is what Jesus would want him to do. Again, the only one that truly matters.<br />

<p dir="auto">If Gibson wants a career like RDJ, he needs to land himself a similar role. It's not like he hasn't gotten roles either. Also, Bieber is far younger and appeals to a much different demographic than Gibson does. Hacksaw Ridge could be good for him as a director if it turns out great.</p>

<p dir="auto">And forget about all the well respected, high profile types like George Miller, Peter Weir, Sigourney Weaver, Jodie Foster, Ron Howard. etc who actually know him and have actually worked with him and come out and defended him.<br />
Not to mention his wife of nearly 30 years who's said he never laid a finger on her at any point.<br />
Ignore all that it just gets in the way of the witch hunt and agenda of painting him as one of the most despicable people who's ever lived.</p>

<p dir="auto">No because we live in a hypocritical society.<br />
We live in a society where the cast of Hangover wouldn't work with Mel but would work with convicted rapist Mike Tyson, where Bill Murray's wife accused him of beating her but no one was bothered, and Marlon Brando insulted the Jewish community in Hollywood and it's never mentioned.<br />
Why was it different with Mel?<br />
I can only assume it's because he insulted the Jewish community while in a drunken state and being arrested at a time when he'd already pissed many off with his Christ movie, and then came the recorded phone calls that were everywhere on the internet for people to hear.<br />
On top of that, some people like to paint him with the same brush as his dad.<br />
Mel will NEVER be redeemed or escape from the controversy but I'm still a fan.<br />

<hr />
<p dir="auto">Whalberg has been a very fortunate man and if he had savagely beaten two innocent women, I wonder if he would have served ONLY a month in prison. The justice system can be biased and sexist when it comes to male victims, as opposed to female. He did have some serious anger issues to deal with at the time and he was also younger than Gibson. Things happen and people get lost and caught along the way. I don't judge Whalberg or Gibson for whatever they did; it can't be undone and even if people are punished for their crimes, people still want to go on punishing them. Some things do need to be let go of, and we also don't know what other amends Whalberg has made to his victims from his past.<br />
Don't eat the whole ones! Those are for the guests.</p>

<p dir="auto">I forgot about Marky Mark! It's a shame that you can do what he did and still be forgiven. Everyone is saying that it was actually the phone calls to his ex that caused all of this and that it was an example of his true personality, but Alec Balwin did the same and to his own daughter, yet, he is as popular as ever, even winning major awards for his work on TV.<br />
So I believe it was the anti-semitic remarks that got him banned from Hollywood.</p>

<p dir="auto">Also what Mark Wahlberg did was far worse and the press and Hollywood have certainly let that go. When he was younger, Wahlberg chased after school kids-when their teacher was present-threatening to kill them, using slurs against them and throwing rocks at them (one of them still has a scar). Then he savagely beat two innocent men and was charged with attempted murder-yet he only served a little over a month in prison. He claimed that changed him (he never wanted to go back there), yet he then got into a fight with his neighbor and broke the guy's jaw. On top of that, Wahlberg admitted that he never even apologized to his victims (the opposite of Mel, who made amends to anyone he might have offended when it became public what he had said while drunk and angry)-and yet Wahlberg said his conscience didn't bother him at all. Wahlberg is clearly an awful human being-and the press is still reminding us about<br />
remarks<br />
Mel made years ago in his personal life? Mel just pissed off the wrong individuals.<br />
