Interesting how this is characterised as a "rant" - sounds like a friend defending another friend. Good on you Robert Downey Jr...you're a true friend.
Right back at you.
Exactly why is this a rant? It’s thoughtful and meaningful
@@NAMITASHARMA19 because the media is biased and prone to leaving that bias on anything they touch, journalists are a bunch of scum bags.
That's bc Mel Gibson is/has been anti Satanic Hollywood.
So basically your either with Mel, or your not...
Love the Mel
We could all wish to be so lucky as to have a friend like that.
I was blown away by that speech.
@Clear Adventure
You read my mind.
Tru bros.
Clear Adventure in both scenarios!!!! Restoration of hope for common courtesy strengthened. !
Rare to find a friend like that in Hollywood, that's anti Satanic Hollywood..
That's quality. RDJ is a class act !
yeah i love aphex twin
This is why everyone wants to be friends with Downey Jr.
Everyone wants to be friends with you when you are raised back up
True friends are with you when you're down the pit
AND MEL!!
I'd be friends with Mel
He also supports Johnny Depp
My respect and adoration for Robert Downey Jr. just hit an all time high. Let him who is without sin throw the first stone. At 46 I am still amazed at how many people want to throw stones as soon as they have an excuse. What a disgusting side of humanity is displayed when a man greater than many of us, with greater contributions to culture and entertainment than many of us, is the target of mindless rants and allegations of his wrong-doing. Are we so perfect? Are we so self-righteous? WOW!
Lieutenant Sewell very well said
That's right! You are perfecty right!
Indeed sir. Mel is among the finest that Hollywood circus has ever seen.
No man is greater than other. We are all equal.
@@Wilsson02 that's one of the cruelest, most specious lies ever spread.
That was really sweet and honest - yeah, I can't say it enough, give a man a break, and when he has fallen, pick him up.
Mel Gibson is a good, decent man. What this woman did to him, used him. People when they have been drinking say outrageous things. God love you both Mel and Robert. That brought tears to my ears.
Chloe wilson Bless you for saying that.
Chloe wilson lol no he is a psycho wo threatened his own wife. He is to not be respected, but he should be forgiven, his crazy i really dont understand people i dont.
abdinoorful Who are you to say that Gibson is no to be respected? Who are you to say that he should be forgiven? What are you, Jesus? Who are you to say that Gibson is a psycho? Are you a psychiatrist? You draw your conclusions from a phone conversation between two people, one of them being obviously emotionally involved, and the other so cold and calculated, so that she had the presence of mind to record that conversation, in order to use this to her benefit? This is a woman who was obviously only after Gibson's money, and moreover, she invested in this relationship, in order to gain the side-effects of fame. This woman was after fame and money, but didn't have a single creative atom in her body, and the only way she knew how to get what she wanted, was NOT through actual WORK, but by lying flat on her back, like any ordinary prostitute.
Mel Gibson is an incredible artist and his whole life is a testimony to his art - he is also human - well what a surprise !!!
Where is your artistic contribution? I really like know, but while you haven't produced anything of artistic value, pull your head in, and learn to have some respect for people who have produced valuable art - you arrogant little shithead. !!!!
abdinoorful Idle threats my dear, idle threats. Don't worry he has been penalized the jews saw to that.
You can see John Landis in the audience Downey is addressing at 1:18. If anyone deserves to be onstage begging for forgiveness it's that negligent fuck who got children killed because he didn't want to take the proper precautions when making a movie.
Hollywood can forgive people like Landis who killed children, Matthew Broderick who killed two people in a driving accident and never apologized to their family, and Roman Polanski who drugged and raped a little girl, but forgiving Mel Gibson for saying bad things about the Jews while drunk is just too much, huh?
Can you enlighten me on the John Landis comment, Don't know anything about this one. Am with you on Gibson.
John Landis used two kids in a movie stunt when he really used have been using professional extras, and he didn't take the legal safety precautions, and there was an accident and the kids were killed. Btw what happened with Broderick was clearly an accident and we don't know he never talked to the family.
Thank you, Knew about Broderick,
The one for me is the headmaster in Ferris Bueller been charged a few times with children and the media seem to cover less important stories regarding Gibson.
Ugh, yeah Jeffrey Jones. At least that guy's career seems to be largely over.
Well said sir
Mel is a fucking amazing actor, maybe he is slightly crazy but who the hell isn't? t gives his acting that spirit that you just don't get from others. Throwing him under the bus indefinitely would be the worst thing the industry can do. He is one of the few actors from the old days that still has it.

He's not crazy.
Best , biggest , amazing export from Australia !! He paved the path for current Aussie actors trying their luck in USA. Love all his movies !!!
@@blastfromthepast7119 He fucked up who hasn't like Downy Jr said we all have sinned and fucked up, Gibson has been punished, not let it the f*** go
Robert Downey Jr. is a class act. He is a bright light with his candor and his generosity and his humanity. I love this guy, coming to the aid of Mel Gibson with this public display gave me goose bumps and got me choked up. Its rare to see loyalty and bravery displayed in this manner and I am glad to have seen it.It shows you that even when you may stray from the course in the river of bad choices and mistakes, your good deeds that you do for others serves as a beacon which can help bring you back on course.So always remember to help others because you never know when the storm is coming.......
Exactly.
That's just beautiful. I'm really moved.
An honest friendship ...
OMG, that actually brought tears to my eyes. A stand up guy vouching for another stand up guy. Very noble, especially because it appeared very sincere. God bless them both.
thanks dear for your love and support you have been giving me all this years,this is my own little way of saying thank you.️ drop a message on my Gmail handle melgibson0869@gmail.com And hopefully get a response back
It's wonderful to see this. Two guys who's been through really tough times looking after each other.
THEY ARE HUGGING EACH OTHER; THEY ARE HUGGING THE CACTUS.
Think this is a beautiful display of humanity. It's been a well-known thing now that Mel Gibson is bipolar, so I think some of his crazy rants are almost not a surprise (that doesn't mean he wasn't wrong in saying those things). However, what Robert Downey Jr. said that Mel did was absolutely inspiring, and just proves to the rest of us that we can't judge people by what they do on their worst days...
Truly touching...
Indeed.. much live and respect for Mel Gibson being anti Satanic pedophilic Hollywood, and standing his ground while in the belly of the pedophilic enslavement of Humanity NWO Beast.. aka Agenda21-30 (climate change) 'open border 1 Global Gov't'/World Order'
(by definition and Globalist policies)
Mel Gibson is the definition of integrity.
I'm a little bit in the dark here, what did Mel Say?
@elitesam7789 mel got drunk and said a certain group of afluent people( can't say who), have a big influence on political/social power.
@@user-hc4ls5of3g Wow! People can get in trouble for saying that much?
@@elitesam7789 the issue is that Mel wanted to get Passion of the Christ made but no studio wanted to give him money for it. For obvious reasons given their origin. So he decided to basically finance it from his own pockets. Mel had problems before making it, during making it and after making it. Cops were randomly called on him constantly at his house in the middle of the night cause some people thought his movie would cause rampant ant-semitism. Then one day cops arrested him for drunk driving and the cop said Mel went on an anti-semitist rant linking o Hollywood. At that point if you think they were unfair with him before, now the full might of Jewish Hollywood went at him. He was basically black listed for a decade. Just for a drunken rant. Hell just the fact that the cop reported the rant seems fishy to me. And them punishing him for it sort of proved him right.
true friendship. love both these guys
Now THAT, loves, is what you call a TRUE best mate (friend). Respect.
Helping another man when he is at his lowest is the mark of a true man.
He is absolutely right. Considering what so many others have done...and been forgiven for..even honored, the now 8 year shunning of Gibson is pretty ridiculous. Racist rants are bad. But are they worse than pedophilia? Roman Polanski continues to get Oscars. People still flock to appear in a Woody Allen movie not only in spite of his transgressions, but the fact htat his movies are stuck in the 70s and haven't been relevant in decades..
+FuckYouGooglePlus - Yeah, but even when Mel was drunk he was telling the truth. Not all rants are evil, or wrong.
Roman won a award again. In France the other week.
Mel Gibson being anti Satanic Hollywood, hasnt exactly gone over well with Satanic Hollywood, as you can imagine..I'm sure it's quite difficult to be anti NWO, in the belly of the pedophilic NWO Beast..
Woody's films aren't exactly irrelevant.
@@achumurali8183 Woody diddled his daughter. I'd rather take my chances with Mel.
Hug the cactus... Love it!
Exactly! You will need forgiveness one day!
How is this a rant? Good on the man.
I hope everyone realizes that Robert Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson are true examples of how we should live as CHRIST!It is not your mistakes,it is what you do and how you do it after!I LOVE YOU GUYS!
These two are the best and oh so talented and I know God is proud of them!They are AWESOMENESS!
Shannon Nase Jesus is Latin for EarthPig
@@moodist1er What a dick.
This shows great strength of character and loyalty by RDJ. He is completely spot-on and very apt.
This is what real friendship is.
Thank you Robert Downey Jr for taking a stand for Forgiveness. I worked with Mel for 12 hours.. a nice shy man with his own demons. The world saw a movie star, handsome, rich and successful. I saw a sad man who was also very nice to me and others.
In 12 hours you came to several conclusions about a human being. The guy was very nice to you and others, you also said he was shy, then you called him a sad man with his own demons. It seems to me that is very hard to find out what a shy man is about even if you had a lot more than 12 hours with hi. Simply because shy people do not share what they are about. If what you saw was a shy man that was very nice to you and others then stop there and keep the stuff you concluded in just 12 hours with nothing to back up your conclusions to yourself specially when the guy as you said was very nice to you and others.
This is the very reason I love Robert Downey jr..way to go!
Same! So honest, so moving, I really loved this.
Brilliant, RD Jr is right. I remember those days. People learn from their stupid mistakes and become better for it. Mel is an awesome director, actor, and producer, always.
loyalty, friendship, true friendship at its finest.
THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!
Robert Downey Jr is the best. I remember them in Air America together in 1990. They became best friends straight away. Mel Gibson stood by Robert when no one would give Robert another chance since Robert had blew so many chances in Hollywood. Mel is a true friend as well. And a great actor. Robert never forgot. This here is what true friendship is all about! We all make mistakes! May God Bless all of us with a friendships like this.
Can you possibly help crying on hearing such a great speech?
That defines genuine friendship, the power of love!
If you look at the stuff that's going on the world these days, Mel Gibson looks like Jesus. The media Destroyed arguably one of the best actors/directors in Hollywood. You will always be Oscar gold to me Mr. Gibson
I can't disagree with you on that one, though.
Right! Meanwhile, pedophiles like Woody Allen and Roman Polanski get standing ovations and awards. What an ass backwards industry is this?
Smith A
I can't deny your words. They strike as hard as bullets!
hes back
Good for you Robert!! Make a stance against those who so called never do wrong
Thank God someone actualy had the balls to stand by him, everyone deserves a 2nd chance well done jdj
thanks dear for your love and support you have been giving me all this years,this is my own little way of saying thank you.️ drop a message on my Gmail handle melgibson0869@gmail.com And hopefully get a response back
"He has hugged a cactus long enough!" Great line RDJ
He got that line from Mel.
Who hasn't said something they later regretted ?
Exactly. When RDJ got busted way back 10 years ago Mel defended him and RDJ pointed it out that he is Jewish and he, Whoopi Goldberg and Jackie Mason all Jews jumped to defend Mel. Not apologize for him just to point out that we are all human.
I don't think Whoopi is Jewish, but she cleverly adopted the name "Goldberg" as a stage name. I could be wrong, but I'm quite sure she's not Jewish. RDJ isn't Jewish unless he converted, as his mom isn't Jewish, nor was his dad's mom, but RDJ's stepdad was Jewish. Apparently RDJ attended Catholic services while in prison, he's delved into Buddhism, & has described himself as a "Jew-Bu". Whatever. Artists of faith came through for another artist of faith. That's what counts. G-d bless us all.
Beautiful, just beautiful moment. Love it!
Awesome two guys showing what it should be about on the planet...Love and forgiveness....Legends.....people forget the amazing talent and hard work that is done to bring us creative entertainment....otherwise hey become a star if it is that easy...they brighten up a world that needs it...The Creative Arts
It is a heartwarming friendship - and wonderfully spoken speech of gratitude.
how can u not love RDJ? i wish him more success! As for Mel i am sure he learned a lot, he's hugged the cactus long enough
Anyone who dislikes Robert Downey Jr has something wrong with them. He has never been mean to anyone. Through all his hard times he only hurt himself. He has the biggest heart and is so grateful. Thank God he got clean in 2003. So many praying for years for him. He is an amazing person and extremely talented in many ways.
RDJ is class
Awesome to see 2 of the greatest actors true friends. Always helping each other through their troubled times and staying strong for their future..
Brilliant well RDJ and well done Mel we are in awe of you and will always support you - you are an amazing man and like the many unique great men before there are those who do not understand - forgive them for they know not what they say or do! Once you pick the lantern up you cannot put it down and the many things though our lives we see in the light try to hurt and destroy us through ignorance. You are on a higher level and yes there are those of us that know this and follow you. Bravo.
God this is so moving! My respect for Robert Downey Jr. just keeps on increasing and I completely love Mel Gibson!
Way to go Downey! I'm very proud of him for doing that. Mel Gibson really is one of the true greats!
Class Act. Well done.
A surprisingly unselfish move of Downey. Very classy and well said.
very nice. A real iron man of flesh and bone
Never get tired of watching this. Thank you for helping back! Mr. Downey.
#TrueFriendship
well said RDJ!
Mel’s a good guy, he’s helped big Hollywood colleagues through their own hard times....
i love them both, they're both brilliant actors
that's a awesome friend, what an admirable gratitude.
yes, it is not easy to let go of the past.shedding this can be a lifetime process.thank you for your compassionate heart
That was so touching I almost cried. I love Mel and I'm a Black African. I grow up watching his movies with the lovely Danny Glover. He made a mistake and has apologised for it. For goodness sake give him a break. Let it rest.
It's good to know they're both friends.
One of the GREATS, I still love this multi-talented Man, MEL GIBSON 💯❣️
dammit that was a great rant
Paying it forward. Magnificent!!!!!
thanks dear for your love and support you have been giving me all this years,this is my own little way of saying thank you.️ drop a message on my Gmail handle melgibson0869@gmail.com And hopefully get a response back
Mel is not a failure ... I fact it may be the next phase of many great movies I hope . Thank goodness for humor and forgiveness .. humility Is our best trait in life .
An incredible act of kindness.
RDJ is an amazing human being. Such compassion and loyalty to someone who it probably isn't too popular to stand by. Brilliant person, brilliant friend... We all need to do some cactus-hugging.
Way to go Mr. Downey, that was very classy of you.
Robert Downey and Mell Gibson is the best actor ever
dont forget stallone
and Gary Oldman
And how to speak English properly
Steve H minable, et en français tu sai comment parler en françai?????
Steve H and spell
A great speech from a charismatic guy
Who among you is without sin, cast the first stone!
RDJr is a class act, Mel G. is a gent and humble man. Full of flaws but striving to overcome them, like we all should. You're both tops in my book!
That was truly a great display of friendship and love...,I wish I had friends like the bond I see here between these two. The very guy's that were also in this picture with me have proved themselves to be the latter..,but I did learn a valuable lesson about..,not to trust, or better yet..Who to trust...
I want to have, and be a friend like RDJ!
Hats off to Robert. What class and grace for both of these great artists!
how the fuck is this a rant ?
***** the meaning of rant is to talk nonsense there for its not a rant
+TheWillog Whatever it was, it was the best thing to come out of Hollywood in a decade. Most beautiful rant I've ever seen in my life.
False. A rant is when you unload your feelings, you vent. What planet are you from?? Sounds like you are having a rant of your own right now.
nope Mossad did
That "hug" says it all.👏👏👏👏👍👍
Now that's class.
where is the full video of this gala?
This is Beautiful 🙏
I have something in my eye.
Like both of these actors
There is no man without sin
We all sin
That True friendship
Makes me cry every single time.
you can tell that RDJ has a sense that he may not be alive (or what's considered living) without the help of Gibson....
I like Mel,but he should of stood his ground.He spoke the truth,and everybody knows it.
James Avery i feel the same exact way
He is truly the definition of integrity..
You have to admire someone who is anti pedophilic satanic Hollywood (NWO) who is actually in the belly of that Beast
I think it is understandable why he did not stand his ground: he cares about his children, he did not want a long legal battle and a mud war.
Long time friends
True friendship and both great souls, love these guys!! We are all far from perfect and have no right to pick up stones to throw...FORGIVE AND LOVE EACH OTHER!!...Amen!!
Textbook definition of a loyal friend right here! Too bad this is considered taboo in our society
For anybody needing a lesson in friendship and loyalty, example above.
I always loved both of these guys!
I think the role he references is the lead in "The Singing Detective" but I'm not sure.
I get chocked up watching this. This was amazing.
Wonderful. Two gifted men.
"He's hugged the cactus long enough" 🥰
And that is why you have to pick good friends for who they are not for what they have.. Two men helped each other through hard time. I love this kind of videos😍
Awesome.The higher you are the longer the fall down, Humility is as difficult as forgiveness.Forgiving someone does not excuse their actions.
So heartfelt!
Thanks friend
We all make mistakes and should be allowed forgiveness
I love them BOTH and dont care what anybody says..celebrities are real people too, fall off and get back up as well as the rest of us. 2 beautiful souls here!!
0:25 does anybody know what movie downey was talking about ?
Nicely done Rob. The title of this video is misleading. Nothing to do wih PRO-RANT
That is a real hug from a genuine person.
