Mel Gibson talks with Jimmy Carter 1997

The raw unedited conversation...we talk about fame and paranoia...from 1997...In 1995, Gibson produced, directed, and starred in Braveheart, a historical epic, for which he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, the Academy Award for Best Director, and the Academy Award for Best Picture. He later directed and produced The Passion of the Christ, a biblical drama that was both financially successful and highly controversial. He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century.
After several legal issues and controversial statements leaked to the public, Gibson's public image plummeted significantly, affecting his careers in acting and directing.[4] His career began seeing resurgence with his performance in Jodie Foster's The Beaver (2011), and his directorial comeback after an absence of 10 years, Hacksaw Ridge (2016), which won two Academy Awards[5][6] and was nominated for another four, including Best Picture and Best Director for Gibson, his second nomination in the category.

At that point in his life, he started to really reaquire sounding American considering he's born in the United States, moved to Australia as a kid, but moved back to work in Hollywood. He sounds American in this interview but with a very subtle Australian accent. Very very subtle. In the 80s, half Aussie half American, 90s and onward mostly American. Great actor and seems like a great guy!

The creator of Lethal Weapon, Shane Black wanted the series to end at number two with Rigg's death on the ship. Donner and the studio wanted to continue making money so there were two more. Neither three or four came close to the original two. Mel, of all people, probably realized that.

He is the king! And the most sexy man in the world. And as an actor, he is simply the best!
