Mel Gibson : Whats Wrong With Him?

Whats Wrong With Him?

I am a big fan of him both as an actor and even more so as a director. He is the only one IMO who makes what I like to consider the modern equivalent of Peckinpah films. Consistent high quality and auteurship in his films.

But there is something wrong with him. I watched the interview of him recently and he is constan 5b4 tly twitching and pulling at his face and cracking his neck. Is it possible he is schizophrenic disorder? I watched some interviews of him in the 80s and 90s and he was nothing like that. Is this what happens to some of us when we hit 60s?

Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

He's definitely not schizophrenic. Mel Gibson has always had nervous tics, like rubbing his face and tugging on his arm hair. He's also always been a bundle of energy and pulled faces. Back at the time when Maverick was released, Jodie Foster called him something like "the tic-y-est person alive."

An interview from 1985 shows him doing the same stuff he does today: rubbing his face, wiggling his eyebrows, licking his lips,and making jerky head movements.

As an actor, he's actually gotten better at removing them from his performances as he's gotten older.

Are they worsening in real life? I'm not sure. He is much more nervous now when giving interviews than in the 80s and 90s, for good reason. If you're talking about Greg Laurie's interview at the SoCal Harvest, that was Mel at his most nervous because he's in front of a religious audience of tens of thousands.

When he's relaxed, the tics aren't so prominent.

Take a look at these very recent interviews in Australia where Mel is energetic without being nervous.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

Yeah. The SoCal interview was the one that I was looking at recently. He looked and behaved very strange. He actually resembles a family member of mine who is a schizophrenic and on meds. The meds allow him to function as a human and he is intelligent and able to communicate, but he can't really hold a job or have a relationship.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

Yeah, that SoCal interview. Mel has stage fright, plus he must have felt especially self-conscious in front of an Evangelical audience, given his screw-ups over the last 10 years.

It's sad. His problems only got worse after the controversy. I imagine going up on stage like at GG might feel like you have a red dot on your forehead when you're so despised by the industry.

Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

Maybe he's indeed on some sort of meds for something related to his anger

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

I have stage fright as well and get nervous in public or during interviews, you'd probably think I was schizo too, lol.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

I may be wrong, but I think 60 years of hard drinking and Hollywood lifestyle do that to you. And yes, his bearing is not normal.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him? Religious sickness.

Well... I am religious. I also think being atheist is a bit of a current hipster fad. Kind of like growing a big lumberjack beard, just for the heck of it, but never really going out in the wilderness because you're afraid of mosquitoes and not having a real toilet with running water.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him? Religious sickness.

So, not believing in a fictionalized deity is a fad? God, the bible and every other religion in modern and ancient history are all fictionalized. They were created by man and women.

That's not the definition of a fad if you don't believe in something that isn't real.

It's called reality. i don't believe in Santa Clause either.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him? Religious sickness.

The act of trivializing, disrespecting, and dispelling other peoples' deepest beliefs... which can bring them a lot of comfort and strength in their most desperate situations should be a fad.

You're such an extremist, people like you are scary, lol.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

By his own admission, he has untreated bipolar disorder and substance abuse problems. He's also incredibly racist and sexist. When Mad Mel gets drunk and manic, he loves going on delightful tirades about jews and women.

The guy is a great actor and director, but a horrible human being. If he would stop drinking and get help for his mental illness, he might be tolerable. The things he's said are unforgivable though. I don't see him ever getting back into the good graces of the folks in Hollywood.

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

I am sorry you are and remain so hurt by something someone said. Can I suggest treatment for your condition?

Re: Whats Wrong With Him?

Big fan of Mel, hope he doesn't have any real medical concerns and hope he isn't using any juice. He seems pretty buffed out these days, so it made me worried a little bit how he was getting into that kind of shape. Love watching him in films and his work as a director is amazing as well. Hope he sticks around many years bringing wonderful stories to the film world. Hang in there, Mel and thank you for what you bring.
