Am I forgiven?
When the movie’s director, Jodie Foster, leaned across to adjust his bow-tie, Gibson smiled, right on cue. But while the two of them chatted and laughed for the cameras, the actor’s brow remained furrowed. The next day’s photographs would all show the three deep wrinkles cut horizontally across his tanned forehead, giving him the air of someone who expects disappointment and – more often than not – is rewarded with it.
He was understandably worried, perhaps, about how the film would be received. The Beaver , in which the 55-year-old Gibson plays a depressed chief executive who communicates with his family through a glove puppet, is the first movie he has made since his inglorious public meltdown. Last July, Gibson became involved in a toxic public battle with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his youngest child. Audiotapes leaked to a gossip website purportedly recorded Gibson directing a series of foul-mouthed rants at Grigorieva, slinging racist and misogynist abuse at her. “You look like a f..king bitch in heat,” he shouted, his words slurred and imprecise. “And if you get raped by a pack of niggers, it will be your fault.”
It was not the first time that Gibson’s temper and unreconstructed world view had been unpleasantly aired in public. In 2006, he was stopped for speeding by a police officer in Malibu. Gibson, who has a history of alcoholism, was driving with an open bottle of tequila in his car. His blood-alcohol level exceeded the legal limit. As Gibson was handcuffed and put in the back of the police car, he launched into an unprovoked, anti-Semitic tirade in which he claimed that “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world”. A subsequent mugshot, released to the media, showed Gibson peering up at the camera with untidily gelled hair, unfocused eyes and an inane smile on his face, as though, even in police custody, the only role he knew how to play was that of the famous heart-throb who could get away with it.
As it turned out, he couldn’t. Hollywood retribution to these two incidents was swift. After the first outburst, one studio boss suggested an industry boycott, comedian Rob Schneider took out a full-page ad in Variety stating he would “never work with Mel Gibson, actor-director-producer and anti-Semite”, while a mini-series on the Holocaust that Gibson had been developing with the ABC network was dropped.
