He looks like that weird neighborhood guy who leers at young teen girls and always has a brew in his hand. How creepy he is now compared to that first Mad Max movie. Booze kills……Your looks and your brain cells.

I watched the video. Mel Gibson is not a “stand up comic” and all celebrities don’t interview well. He was trying his best to be amusing without offending anyone because he knows that anything he says could possibly be taken “out of context”. Professionally and personally, he’s caught between “a rock and a hard place” which would make anyone very uncomfortable, period. Perhaps, a year from now, when he’s worked through his most pressing issues, he’ll feel much more comfortable doing interviews. It’s best not to read too much into what’s going on at this point.

@Kathie…Yes, Mel was once “the handsomest(?) man on the planet, but I think to a lot of people, myself included, the whole “sexiest man alive” appeal wasn’t just about his looks. In the early stage of his career he didn’t seem to take himself too seriously and wasn’t very interested in playing the Hollywood games. When that changed — because of fame, money, alcohol or whatever — the downward spiral began, slowly at first, but as it gained momentum…wow! As a fan I tried to focus on his work and overlook his boorish behavior: misogynistic and anti-gay comments, stories about infidelities and drunken sprees, and even the 2006 DUI/anti-Semetic rant (which I found deplorable). But at some point — perhaps when I realized how he’d hurt his children with his actions –I said “enough!” Unfortunately for Mel I think a lot of people agree with me.

@ For Sooth?

Jay called Mel(in one of the past interviews) “a goofball”, so Mel has to live up to that title, Mel always comes across as trying too hard to be funny. When he speaks about movies he actually speaks quite inteligently.

I agree, he looks so sad, and Oksana is not the cure. I just hope he wakes up in time to see it.

I agree with princess pea, that Mel was trying to be funny, and some of what Jay did blocked it.

Mari – Very astute.
I’m not a fan of Jay’s and this just gives me another reason to not like him. He could have eased Mel’s painful show of trying too damn hard but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just another A-hole milking the whole “Mel is crazy” thing for his own benefit. What a jackass Leno is. And he is a letch(personal opinion of course).

I hope Mel finds his mellow. He does look very, very sad and I don’t think Oksana is the cure. In fact, I suspect she will excelerate the speed of the crazy train.

I loved Mel so much that my cat is named…you guessed it, Mel Gibson, I was deciding on a name while watching a re-run of Gallipoli. He was so handsome and so was my cat that I decided to do a homage to Gibson by naming my cat after him. As for not doing a very good interview, he NEVER does a good interview and I cannot imagine why he would start now. Poor Mel has fallen on tough times and doesn’t have that beautiful face and body to cause people to ignore what he has become. He was at one point (Tim) and for a couple decades (Max, Lethal) simply the handsomest man on the planet. That is a tough role to play while fading.

@MizzExpert,

I think he still looked good in “What Women Want” and “The Patriot”(1999).
His looks went downhill with “The Passion”, and yes, age (and drinking)helped,too…

@Uzi,
My favs too…I LOVE “Gallipoli” – it was such a powerfull/heartbraking movie! And the “The Road Warior” was great too!
The glory days, when Mel was
building his carreer (Mrs. Soffer, The Year of Living Dangerously, The Bounty)…
What the hell happened!

Mel needs to be saved from himself…
I wish Jody could POUND some sense into him!
