Mel Gibson owns his own production company and could make movies whenever he wants. If it's a movie that will sell then a distribution company would push it. Hes big enough to hide his involvement in a movie that has been made by his production. If he didn't have his own production studio and just a regular actor, his career would've been over

@@daddyleogamingchannel5356 it took him years before he could put forward a film with him in the starring role and when he has gone on talk shows to promote some of his films it has been met with a backlash in a number of instances.

As a black man, I have learned to look at entertainers as just that. They aren’t my friends or acquaintances. So when they say some racist shit it’s just “oh, ok”. I expect it.
Yep. Folks invest and project *way* too much. My relationship with celebs are purely transactional: U release some work I find interesting, I consume it. Thats all it needs to be.
MJW is being polite. Mel makes excellent movies are they are no longer being promoted by the big studios. He was a big, big star, more bigger than Kurt Russell and and NIck Cage. He directing alone is suberb. He only gets money for small movies . He was turned down to directing big action movies due to his blacklisting . If MJW was a big star he would be advised to not work with him. MJW is a smooth guy who does not want to offend anyone.
Yeah and he was trying to be nice cuz he didn't want to get blacklisted for saying that Mel Gibson shouldn't be allowed to make no more money because if somebody black would have said what he said about a white person we will be off TV
Apocalypto is a masterpiece. The scene where mc's dad gets killed and he gives his son this look of it's alright. Wow. Sick af, better acting than Hollywood bs fest.
100%, i'd say that is one of the few scenes in any film that still literally makes me cry like a bitch, MASTERPIECE. Dude got drunk and said some stupid shit, so what? He's still incredible at what he does.
I remember meeting Mel Gibson as a kid. He was casually sitting in the smoking section at the top of Staples Center halftime of a lakers game. Cool dude
@Perverted Alchemist I loved his 2 other movies and really didn't like that one. Yes that scene was amazing horror, but it was also his first big movie and I don't think he hit his stride until he linked up with Vince Vaughn.
@@charliem.5813 that's not being shifty That's being open to discussion and new evidence AND respecting that MJW has behind the scenes / insider knowledge to learn from. I think its a great thing.
@@charliem.5813 no, most humans do that if they are cross cultural and he has Ukrainian/Russian + Jewish heritage and grew up in America, he is used to changing cultural practices and ways of speech to put people at ease.

Tom Hanks is a major character actor, Mel Gibson was an action star. Mel Gibson is the most relevant action star from all the 80's and 90's stars still working. You could argue the richest as well. Vlad do your homework dude.
I Say Stallone is ahead of everyone in the 80s action star still relevant making movies. From Rocky to Rambo to Expendables and Escape Plan. TC was more of a ROM Dram star who occasionally did some thrillers and then took to action in the mid to late 90s. Just my opinion
A French philosopher Voltaire said-"To figure out who's in charge, simply figure out who you're NOT allowed to criticize." Well....with that quote in mind, bear in mind that Mel Gibson criticized Jews WHILE WITHIN HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!! Yeah from a career standpoint he committed suicide, but from a moral standpoint that shows real dash.
@@Juswub80 Right! His point was there is no woke racist machine and cancel culture isn't a thing. As long as you're making enough money, the things you do will be overlooked (up to a point, see RKelly). They may put you more behind the scenes... but they don't cancel you.
Mel's comments were definitely antisemitic, and Michael isn't denying that. Vlad, of course, happens to be Jewish. So when someone says some stupid shit about Jews, he has every right to call it out, whether you like it or not.
Usually once you make the jump to successful directing, you don’t care to go back to acting. Directing essentially makes you the “Boss” while acting is still an “employee”.
No. Nobody canceled him whatsoever. Nobody pushed him out the industry, nobody came out and says they were no longer working with him. Fact is, racism is cool, but “homophobic” comments, ie saying “put your lighter up if you didn’t suck dick” is what gets you canceled. Damn shame
He kind of was if you look at the roles he had before and after. But he did take on a more serious role behind the scenes and found success with that. His on screen career definitely took a hit.
He had mad success behind the scenes before his controversies. His production company had numerous major hits before he made headlines. As an actor he was effectively black listed though.
@@cnsmooth I don’t really follow him closely. I didn’t realize he actually had that much to do with production before the controversy. But he used to be a lead man. His acting career may as well be over.
I think Vlad should have done his research on this topic. Some of Mel's best work has come since that incident. He had a moment no doubt but he's never fallen off as an actor
Those Mel tapes were comedy gold. Look up Patrice O'neal on the O and A show talking about it. The thing I find more damning than the racist parts were his wife talking about how abusive he was.
Mel had a lot of frends in high places that defended him . Anyone else would of been completely written off . After a few years he's been operating on the fringes atleast, so to speak .
He also pissed of very powerful magnate who owns the companies that make and distribute films so what an actor has to say would have been neutralised (at least in the industry). People also forget that Mel owns his own very successful movie production company and that is probably what allowed him to continue being in the business more than anything else. He could make his own films and stay out from the spotlight. If you ask the general public and the media I doubt most people have forgiven him or likely ever will
@@cavemanlovesmoke4394 do you even know what Mel Gibson did? Lol if you think people are sheep for not wanting to give him their money there's something wrong with you
He definitely got blacklisted. After his 2006 rant he didn't even act in a single movie until 2010 and the movie got barely any press. Since then he's been in mostly smaller, non Hollywood films aside from The Expendables 3 and Daddy's Home 2. This was a guy who was in multiple mainstream movies a year before this. His most successful venture since 2006 is easily Hacksaw Ridge which he directed, but even then the posters for the film don't even mention him by name lol. It always says something like "From the acclaimed director of Braveheart".
Mel Gibson did the Professor and the Madman with Sean Penn a couple of years ago and he was excellent in it and he greatly improved his Scottish accent from Braveheart too! He can get work when he wants to, he's just getting old now and he's slowing down but he's not actually "blacklisted" as such. People need to remember the dude is crazy! Some director's don't wanna work with him because he's a loose cannon and that's their choice to make. No one is owed a right to be in the movies, they have to earn it
Mel Gibson is not blacklisted. Mel Gibson is a Action movie star, you dont do as many action movies when you get old. Thats the reason why he started directing.
I dont know what world people are on when they say he wasnt black listed. He also wasnt just a action star. Like someone has said elsewhere "the fact he wasnt in mad max fury road is all you need to know"
@@soundwavsonny Well Clint was only directing for a good number of years until some good scripts for old men came along. There's an age when your too old to be strong and sexy but to young to be elderly.
If he was it was due to what he said about Jewish people not what he said about black people. If they insult black people they say sorry, wait a week and put them back on. It’s our own fault. We couldn’t even not watch football for Kaepernick. Nobody takes us seriously…
This was great. There is one thing that tells me he was at least partially blacklisted He was in successful romantic comedies as a slightly aging guy (e.g. what Women Want) and could still have been used in those but the sinister nature of his physical threats in his recorded rants likely removed studios willingness to portray him affectionately and light heartedly
What action movies Tom hanks ever started in? He's more of a serious actor these days. I agree with Jai white I'd compare Mel to Bruce Willis, Van damme, Seagal, Wesley snipes
Exactly. It's mind boggling ppl think he just got old and the work dried up. He was most definitely black listed and probably only has a career due to the fact he has his own production company and can make and direct his own films and is actually quite good at it
@@cryogenixoldskool5803 Source please, because there is nothing on the internet that says that. The kindest thing said is that Mel was too old to play the original character but that still doesn't explain why he didnt at least have a cameo.
Wait a minute. You have to give Nicolas Cage props. He did a whole movie where he didn’t talk. He just cleaners, whooped some demonic toys possessed by child killers with the girl from Mayans MC who plays the daughter of the one dude I can’t think of right now. And he killed that role. He didn’t have one speaking part. He just drank his soda and kept it moving. I want a sequel to that movie. Not all movies on the lower budget side are bad. He’s still working. I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
Quentin Tarantino is a genius he figured out a way he can insult and use racist terms against black people without receiving any backlash ..the man is a genius
@@masonldn8647obviously you're not familiar with movie terms..it means he hasn't been canceled yet..he calls people all type f@g,and n words and the man still go strong ..and you know how the alphabet mafia don't play..that's what I meant
Mel Gibson was definitely black balled...... stop..... the movies he released after the issue were mostly involving close friends in the industry.... that looked out for him
Mel Gibson had the biggest net worth of any actor in the world at one point, and even when losing half to his ex-wife, still has more than most, including Tom Hanks. Very much a renaissance man!
Truth be told, Mel doesnt need the money, he seems to be making what he wants too. Same as Nic Cage, hes done the blockbusters, made his cash and just wants to do what interests him. Like FATman which was awesome.
Like MJW said, dude just wasn't a Hollywood money maker anymore. He had a good run like so many others, but he just wasn't that big draw anymore...It's like Bruce Willis, George Clooney, Nick Cage...They were all at one point big block buster actors, now they are in straight to dvd, Redbox or Netflix actors. Over time you might see them in another block buster because Hollywood knows people will feel nostalgic. But yeah, Mel pretty much suffered the same fate as everybody in his age group.
I don’t know if he was black listed BUT other actors in his era are still booming like he use to “Denzel, Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Ian Murray (Magneto), Harrison Ford. And many others......
i understand the point but it seems like MEL went from hero to zero at lighting speed once that tape of him screaming about his ex giving him a B.J on command came out
Mel Gibson ain't been blacklisted from shit he had his super stardom every actor cools down....He still smashing it behind the camera....Vlad doe's NOT Know his ass from his elbow....Mel Gibson has owned his own production company for 30 years.
Black Panther made a billion because of promotion. Apocalypto should have made a billion, first hollywood movie with non white actors as heroes, in non english. If hollywood cared about representation it should have won best picture. No other director in Hollywood would ever make a movie like that. Avatar does not count.
His first movie back from all the drama was Edge of Darkness, it was good. But yea overall I’m 50/50 with Vlad…. Somehow he has disappeared but also I never thought of him as having the acting skills of a DeNiro/Denzel and others that age wouldn’t matter. Mel’s best acting performance IMO was Braveheart.
MJW dodged that question pretty well. What was the last big film Tom Hanks made? MJW makes a good point, the studios don’t want to cast older white men
Vlad's full of it, White knows the facts better. Braveheart came out 15 years before the Gibson arrest, where he spewed racist comments, and then the phone calls were after that.......Gibson's career slowed down a lot after Braveheart........his career is a bit slower than before his rants, but not extremely so.
Fame seemed to ruin Gibson after he started directing movies. Honestly, he's on nobody's radar anymore, but neither is Nic Cage. These guys get old and weird. That's Hollywood.
The Tom Hanks train is gone and has been gone since that pirate film he starred in. Nobody blackballed Mel Gibson after his racist rant to his wife. He eased off the grid afterwards while still accumulating his wealth to save his reputation. Then transitioned into smaller roles and films. That has been consistent yearly wise since. Like so many actors like him.
Sorry but Mr Jai White is completely wrong here. His rant was in 06. He was arguably the biggest actor in Hollywood at the time coming off What Women Want, Signs, and We Were Soldiers. And scoring a huge hit with Passion. He was given no roles between 06 and 10. He wasn't given another film to direct until 2016. Calling this anything but a blacklist is ignoring the facts.
Vlad ain’t got a clue. He directed hacksaw ridge, nominated for oscars after the controversy and many other things. Why does vlad bring up things, when he doesn’t even have a clue what he’s talking about
Mel Gibson owns his own production company and could make movies whenever he wants. If it's a movie that will sell then a distribution company would push it. Hes big enough to hide his involvement in a movie that has been made by his production.

@@samkellogg2805 yeah you don't watch his movies ? Most of his movies if not all he drops it..the man has figure out how to beat the system 🤣🤣🤣
@@capofodedor7399 lol I just didn’t know he dropped the words, but actors he wrote for, who gives a fuck either way 🤣
When was Mel Gibson and Tom Hanks neck and neck, the 80's?
Vlad a little hating on Mel Gibson huh? Don't worry buddy, we know why. 😉🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
The Jew is powerful.
Tom Hanks is elite🔥🔥💯💯💎💎💎🍁🙏🏼
What did Mel Gibson say though?
Nigga but with the ER👆🏿
He said, "You fuckin' BITCH! Im gonna bury you in the Rose Garden!"
He said get raped by a pack of them lol…he was talking to his girlfriend at the time I believe
@Clyde Smith He probably found out that she wanted to fuck Danny Glover or something lmao
And he said anti-semitic things as well.
Deniro, Liotta, Pacino, Pesci, Denzel, Morgan, Samuel L Jackson just a quick few.
Mike the king of Sparing lmao 😹(mike can’t fight )
You mean yourself???
Mel Gibson was definitely black balled...... stop..... the movies he released after the issue were mostly involving close friends in the industry.... that looked out for him
Clint Eastwood is leading in a new big budget movie and he is 90
Like really how many times are you gonna interview mjw and John salley😂🤣😂🤷🏾
Mel Gibson had the biggest net worth of any actor in the world at one point, and even when losing half to his ex-wife, still has more than most, including Tom Hanks. Very much a renaissance man!
Truth be told, Mel doesnt need the money, he seems to be making what he wants too. Same as Nic Cage, hes done the blockbusters, made his cash and just wants to do what interests him. Like FATman which was awesome.
Like MJW said, dude just wasn't a Hollywood money maker anymore. He had a good run like so many others, but he just wasn't that big draw anymore...It's like Bruce Willis, George Clooney, Nick Cage...They were all at one point big block buster actors, now they are in straight to dvd, Redbox or Netflix actors. Over time you might see them in another block buster because Hollywood knows people will feel nostalgic. But yeah, Mel pretty much suffered the same fate as everybody in his age group.
I don’t know if he was black listed BUT other actors in his era are still booming like he use to “Denzel, Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Ian Murray (Magneto), Harrison Ford. And many others......
...Ian Murray? 😕
It wasn't a racist rant.
Jewish people are white.
At the time he was definitely blacklisted. Now he's just too old. MJW is reaching a bit.
Bone tomahawk is a good movie. He’s a director now.
Apples and Oranges Vlad, stop hating on Mel Gibson.
i understand the point but it seems like MEL went from hero to zero at lighting speed once that tape of him screaming about his ex giving him a B.J on command came out
He starred in payback
those tapes of MeL’s are so ridicuLous it’s not even offensive 🤣
Tom hanks and mel Gibson is opposite to me
Mel Gibson ain't been blacklisted from shit he had his super stardom every actor cools down....He still smashing it behind the camera....Vlad doe's NOT Know his ass from his elbow....Mel Gibson has owned his own production company for 30 years.
Black Panther made a billion because of promotion. Apocalypto should have made a billion, first hollywood movie with non white actors as heroes, in non english. If hollywood cared about representation it should have won best picture. No other director in Hollywood would ever make a movie like that. Avatar does not count.
He's not black listed.... Arnold back doing terminator movies and they ain't putting butts in seats no more🤷🏾♂️
Some actors turn down roles, are you aware of that did you know you could do that? That Is Mad funny!!
His first movie back from all the drama was Edge of Darkness, it was good. But yea overall I’m 50/50 with Vlad…. Somehow he has disappeared but also I never thought of him as having the acting skills of a DeNiro/Denzel and others that age wouldn’t matter. Mel’s best acting performance IMO was Braveheart.
I don't watch movies with Mel Gibson. Nope. I don't fuck with him.
MJW dodged that question pretty well. What was the last big film Tom Hanks made? MJW makes a good point, the studios don’t want to cast older white men
They ain't lying about Bruce Willis. That man will appear in anything for a buck
Vlad's full of it, White knows the facts better. Braveheart came out 15 years before the Gibson arrest, where he spewed racist comments, and then the phone calls were after that.......Gibson's career slowed down a lot after Braveheart........his career is a bit slower than before his rants, but not extremely so.
Fame seemed to ruin Gibson after he started directing movies. Honestly, he's on nobody's radar anymore, but neither is Nic Cage. These guys get old and weird. That's Hollywood.
The Tom Hanks train is gone and has been gone since that pirate film he starred in. Nobody blackballed Mel Gibson after his racist rant to his wife. He eased off the grid afterwards while still accumulating his wealth to save his reputation. Then transitioned into smaller roles and films. That has been consistent yearly wise since. Like so many actors like him.
...pirate film? What pirate film?
@@sharonjo7630 Captain Phillips was his last epic anticipated film.
@@s4mp_founder you forgot Toy Story 4. Came out in 2019.
@MANSQUITO the one based on a true story. I was thinking "pirates of Caribbean" type of film at first. Thought the op confused hanks with depp
@@sharonjo7630 Kids films don't count. Their box office grabs like marvel comic movies
Sorry but Mr Jai White is completely wrong here. His rant was in 06. He was arguably the biggest actor in Hollywood at the time coming off What Women Want, Signs, and We Were Soldiers. And scoring a huge hit with Passion. He was given no roles between 06 and 10. He wasn't given another film to direct until 2016.
Calling this anything but a blacklist is ignoring the facts.
What the hell is Vlad doing talking about? Mel Gibson has starred in over 15 movies since that shit happened.
Vlad stands corrected
Gibson has been in several big films after his racist/anti semitic rants while Isiah Washington hasn't been seen since after using a homosexual slur.
I'm actually surprised that Michael Jai hasn't appeared in a Steven Segal flick yet.😏
Segal is more legit then MJW lmaooo
