@JAH is this something that you have done? If so I would hope that you got therapy for whatever caused that outburst of rage. Perhaps helping others to overcome their problems using the negative experiences that you have learned from might help atone for such acts. Without the hope of redemption all you are left with is a world of unrepentant sinners.
@JAH how is it worrying that I don't follow celebrity stories? I made an observation on a specific incident that was recounted in the video, which I stand by btw. However you seem to be heavily invested with looking at other people and judging them ,so I will bow to your superiority. Its complex.

@@JOHN-sk4xq you're right.. its not the same.. its HARDER. when you hav $$ you pretty much get what you want, when you want it.. so it's easier to go off the deep end or over dose or binge or over do whatever you want and not hav to stop like the rest of us.. the limitations of finances, privacy, discretion, influence, and hired help doesnt affect them as much by far.. so dont put people with money down just because they hav something you dont.. they earned it.. but wealth, as well as notoriety, also has its responsibilities, and its down side.. yes really.
@@BEAUTYnIQ Steven Tyler said it best about drugs his words were something like this, when we hit it big the drug use increased all that happened was that we could just afford Better drugs. or something along the lines he said that.

The Bible is full of flawed men who were greatly used by God. Moses murdered an Egyptian and then fled before God called him. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and essentially had her husband murdered by sending him to the heaviest part of fighting, Paul was putting to death followers of Jesus before Jesus came to him on the road of Damascus. He became one of the greatest Christians of all time with unshakable faith. We are all flawed and called through love by God. Both men here are good examples.
I only wish that the social justice warriors would realize this. Bad does not cancel out good. Just because someone can do or say something bad doesn't take away the good that they have done.
You have mad respect for an anti-semite and abuser? Because, that is what Mel Gibson did to bring about his career derailment. I don't care if RDJ chooses to vouch for him or preach forgiveness, but let's not pretend Mel Gibson is a "good person."
I'm proud to be that kind of friend. GOD bless you. Wish you find a friend like that, it tells me that youre true friend too since you look for someone just like you.

I would never expect those words to come out of Mel Gibson, but I'm thankful because I love Robert Downey Jr. And so glad he went the direction he did.
Mel helped Robert, in return Robert helped Mel by telling all indirectly that Mel is a good guy deep down, and several has misunderstood him. And most of all, Mel only asked for Rob to spread love by helping another guy in return. I like them both.
@@patriciaharris7172a man's character is defined by his actions, not his words. Furthermore, one mistake doesn't damn you to an unreasonable degree. Everyone is redeemable
The media won’t give Mel any credit because he believes in Jesus. Any other person can throw out their believes but when it comes to Jesus there’s any issue. Everybody knows that.
Robert Downey’s recovery, comeback and resounding success as an actor is one of the greatest story of courage, perseverance and victory of the Human spirit I’ve ever seen so far
There's so much more, and so many more. Life stories that if you still have a heart will bring you to tears and touch you deeply. Hint- listen to ordinary people. Those who have survived extraordinary circumstances.
Just saying, if this is the greatest story of all those attributes that you ever heard, you need to expand your horizons. No put down to RDJr, just saying.
I watched the story of Robert’s life the other day and his parents were both actors and his dad smoked weed with him starting at age 6. He had to overcome a lifetime of addiction and being raised by addicts. Him being sober is as heroic as what Mel did for him. ❤
These are two spoiled millionaire actors who haven’t done anything “real” yet n their entire lives. They flan around all day with everyone treating them like kings. They receive a payment that is completely disproportionate to their contribution and get comped everywhere. Real men work twenty hour shifts on oil rigs. They dig trenches, the police our cities and drive our ambulances.
Helping another man when he is at his lowest point is a sign of a true man
Pass the message. Man or Woman of course.

That's right folks...reach back down and help the next one up. Humanity is so beautiful. Kudos Mel.
Never look down on anyone, unless you're offering your hand.

Wow

Beautiful quote!! Thanks!! 👏👏🤗
Beautifully put 👍
"Every man dies, but not every man really lives." - Braveheart
So true
The difference between frozen dinner and a movie at home or happy hour.
Copy , paste
Don’t worry about dying; worry about not living.
@@charleswhite1731 touché
The acknowledgement & acceptance are very well said. God bless you sir.
These 2 men are amazing and this story is so dam touching im in tears.😢
"All he asks for return is some day I help a next guy." A true giver.
A leader not a boss
That man was Johnny d
@@kimberlysoto2546so he doubled it and gave it to the next person?
How refreshing to see such vulnerability, humility and gratitude in Hollywood.
So rare...
U would not think he had it in him. ( Mel ). After the ugliness he put his wife and kids through and himself. Then the nice stuff he said and did 4 Robert Downing Jr. All I got to say is ubba urbba the both of them!!
Mel isn't part of Hollywood he's Black balled
LoL you can't be fucking serious. might I suggest doing your homework before presenting yourself to the world as inanely gullible lol JFC
@@blinkybit did that negative vomiting make you feel better?
I like how he progresses through the speech he becomes more comfortable it seems, thats awesome he really wanted to show his gratitude,good on both men
My favorite thing about Robert Downey Jr:
When he takes on a role, he is still RDjr. No matter how good he portrays a role, its Robert Downey Jr.
That is rare.
Thanking Mel for standing with Robert who in turn stood with Johnny. True friendships. True men.
Not the same. Johnny Depp was still filthy rich
@JOHN absolutely the same. Just because you've got money doesn't mean you're not human and deserving of love, faith, and help.
@@JOHN-sk4xq you're right.. its not the same.. its HARDER. when you hav $$ you pretty much get what you want, when you want it.. so it's easier to go off the deep end or over dose or binge or over do whatever you want and not hav to stop like the rest of us.. the limitations of finances, privacy, discretion, influence, and hired help doesnt affect them as much by far.. so dont put people with money down just because they hav something you dont.. they earned it.. but wealth, as well as notoriety, also has its responsibilities, and its down side.. yes really.
@@BEAUTYnIQ Steven Tyler said it best about drugs his words were something like this, when we hit it big the drug use increased all that happened was that we could just afford Better drugs.
or something along the lines he said that.
@@JOHN-sk4xq
What is money when someone is threatening your life? What is money when the beholder is humble yet at his low? What is money without control?
Proof that you can be flawed and great at the same time. Respect to both of these men.
The Bible is full of flawed men who were greatly used by God. Moses murdered an Egyptian and then fled before God called him. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and essentially had her husband murdered by sending him to the heaviest part of fighting, Paul was putting to death followers of Jesus before Jesus came to him on the road of Damascus. He became one of the greatest Christians of all time with unshakable faith. We are all flawed and called through love by God. Both men here are good examples.
Tru dat!
Lol we’re all flawed.
I only wish that the social justice warriors would realize this. Bad does not cancel out good. Just because someone can do or say something bad doesn't take away the good that they have done.
@@NeekazanBy the same token good deeds don't cancel out wicked ones. Only sincere apologies and restitution for harm caused.
You cannot have others forgive you. Until you truly forgive yourself. Hugging the cactus is such a beautiful anaology. And so true.
Thats not a friend...
Thats a brother for life!!!
This is beautiful and only another addict truly understands where Robert was coming from and I got mad respect for them both.
You have mad respect for an anti-semite and abuser?
Because, that is what Mel Gibson did to bring about his career derailment.
I don't care if RDJ chooses to vouch for him or preach forgiveness, but let's not pretend Mel Gibson is a "good person."
@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons “it’s a trick, we always use it.”
That trick doesn’t work forever, sweetums.
@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons rent free
@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons Everything you said is wrong. Mel is none of those things you said and you have no proof.
@@nathantorres8352 rent free? Are you living with a permanent seizure? Is that why you talk in cryptic stupidities?
The kind of friend we all wish we had.
True , and rarely do 😪😊
No, we need to become, that friend.
I'm proud to be that kind of friend. GOD bless you. Wish you find a friend like that, it tells me that youre true friend too since you look for someone just like you.
Love
It's called JESUS
2 beautiful souled men.
I'm really amazed I never new that about you two it shows how strong you two are. I've been fighting it my self for50 years but I keep trying. What he said was true
You don’t hear this too often in Hollywood. Hats off to both men. Downey Jr. showed quite the humility in his gratitude toward Gibson.
Hugging the cactus? 🤔 im assuming it means ‘keep doing the painful thing and soon you’ll be stronger’?
The cure for pain is in the pain - Rumi
@@phantasticmrphasma9874 no, it means exactly what he says it means. Embracing the parts of you that need work, rather than hide them and pretend they don't exist.
Mel is a horrible antisemite. Blocked.
@@margaretschwartz1537 everyone in the world going back 2000 years is antisemitic lol. It's funny, if you were in a room full of 2000 people and they all thought you were annoying and corrupt, would you maybe self reflect or invent a new word and theory as to why everyone was secretly against you 😂.
He's a racist.
So rare in Hollywood for someone to humble himself.
rare in the mankind
@@cristopherarias7176 well stated
Actors acting.
Well. Mel gibson. Has been through his share of self caused problems as well haha
@@Olsenator hahahahahahaha
Well done mel,you have made a truly loving man,i have always loved robert he and yourself are both brillant actors,and you helped him at his lowest time in his life, kindness is the greatest thing in the world, god bless you both❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Humble words "Hugging a Cactus" wow powerful meaning if ur in that level you'll get emotional about it
Everyone needs someone … especially when in a dark place
@@lin6233 all things in this life a spiritual rooted, Jesus proves this.. I am glad he got help.
Mel is a devoted teacher from his own struggles.
Nice opinion
@@dr5290I'm hugging the cactus now. I found my faith and I'm finding my path. It's early days and I've been naughty in my 52 years but I'm on the path.
Thanks Mel. You are a sinner saved by grace…. and you “get it”.
I'm on a dark place and I have no one
That certainly seemed a lot more sincere than most other Hollywood tributes.
I DOESN'T HURT TO HELP SOMEONE, GOOD FOR U MEL GIBSON!
These two men know what it feels like to hit bottom. The definition of a man is not how far they go but how they pick themselves. Never give up.
Joe Lex •I couldn’t have said any better myself. True words to live by.
Ok rocky
@@Zachytmvp there’s always a bottom. Death.
That kind of sincerity is hard to find in Hollywood.
Yes I am surprised there is genuine content. Most of it is meaningless.
Thats why he got kicked out of Hollywood! As he called out all the Yweish pedophiles!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mel Gibson is a homoeopathic racist misogynist...
I'd say nearly impossible to find
@@C783H Not just that but he has picked up a script/movie that studios threw out to make a movie about the rockafellas/Rothschilds. He wants to make the movie and they are furious.
There are still a few "good ones" who refuse to be a total part of that disgusting Hollywood culture. We have to be careful who needs tar with our brush.
I would never expect those words to come out of Mel Gibson, but I'm thankful because I love Robert Downey Jr. And so glad he went the direction he did.
Much respect for them both
Mel helped Robert, in return Robert helped Mel by telling all indirectly that Mel is a good guy deep down, and several has misunderstood him. And most of all, Mel only asked for Rob to spread love by helping another guy in return. I like them both.
That good guy must be way deep down, because he damn sure showed his racist side.
@@patriciaharris7172butthurted woman.
@@patriciaharris7172a man's character is defined by his actions, not his words. Furthermore, one mistake doesn't damn you to an unreasonable degree. Everyone is redeemable
@@patriciaharris7172 None of us is innocent Pat, we have no right to judge others.
@@patriciaharris7172👈 has 💩 for brains.
You can tell that meant a lot to Mel. Bless both of these talented guys
Sounds like the definition of the word "integrity"!
We need a film with RDJ, Keanu Reeves, and Brendan Fraser. Some of the most humble, heart filled actors out there. They deserve it all
RDJ, Woody Harrelson, & Keanu starred in Scanner Darkly. It's here free. Alex Jones was even featured.
Denzel Washington for sure has to be in it as well
Directed by Mel.
But in the movie, they’re all cocky pricks
Yessss ❤
Helping another man to overcome addiction and then guiding the reformant to pay it forward is an unmerited favour.
There's 2 very wise men now...
He remembered his words, he lived by the words.
You are a man as you admit the negative and work the positive. We need more like yourself. God Bless
Mel is a far greater man than media gives him credit for.
The media is made of people. People love nothing more than making mistakes
Don’t trust the media in many occasions
The media won’t give Mel any credit because he believes in Jesus. Any other person can throw out their believes but when it comes to Jesus there’s any issue. Everybody knows that.
@@erock8678 the Hollywood Jews don't like him
Media is a cesspool of corrupt people that try to trick others into being as corrupt as themselves.
Robert Downey’s recovery, comeback and resounding success as an actor is one of the greatest story of courage, perseverance and victory of the Human spirit I’ve ever seen so far
here here !
There's so much more, and so many more. Life stories that if you still have a heart will bring you to tears and touch you deeply. Hint- listen to ordinary people. Those who have survived extraordinary circumstances.
I disliked this guy for so long, but then he came back after his recovery and I now admire the man.
Just saying, if this is the greatest story of all those attributes that you ever heard, you need to expand your horizons. No put down to RDJr, just saying.
@@justjosie8963They could also just be younger. Just saying. ;)
A real man will never turn his back on a man who he can help..
I watched the story of Robert’s life the other day and his parents were both actors and his dad smoked weed with him starting at age 6. He had to overcome a lifetime of addiction and being raised by addicts. Him being sober is as heroic as what Mel did for him. ❤
Mel not only talks the talk, but walks the walk-Humility is amazing💜
was he walking the walk when he punch his gf in the face so hard it broke her teeth while she was holding their baby? whos walk is he walking?
@@MatrixMut😂
We all need friends like Mel Gibson.
i dont think hell like you if youre jewish or black XD
No, we need to be like him
That’s what I called true friends, a lot of fake friends they like you for what you have not for who you are!
hard pass, rather befriend a taliban than a privileged antisemitic piece of shit like gibson...
WE DO♥️OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
👑GOD👑👑👑🌹JESUS 🌹& THE H.S.🕊♥️WHO LIVES IN EVERY HEART ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Life is about redemption folks!!!
" the best thing you can do is be of service to someone " - chris eubank snr
Mel not only gave RDJ food for thought when he was down, he gave him work and a roof. Nice.
He also paid the insurance for RDJ to do Ironman. Without Mel there would be no Ironman.
i see Jesus in Mel Gibson
@@princedarius7224 , funny you say that especially after all the flak Mel took for making Passion of the Christ.
Right. Walking it and talking it is pretty powerful ✨️
..and real food! God bless them both, please!
Two real men. Flawed and unflinchingly loyal to each other.
Unlike the Seth Rogens of the world
@@josecanales2978 Yep, never trust a small hat
Yeah Hollywood doesn't produce men like this anymore. Such a shell of it's former self
These are two spoiled millionaire actors who haven’t done anything “real” yet n their entire lives. They flan around all day with everyone treating them like kings. They receive a payment that is completely disproportionate to their contribution and get comped everywhere. Real men work twenty hour shifts on oil rigs. They dig trenches, the police our cities and drive our ambulances.
@@Josh.C88 , do you literally know what all the men in Hollywood stand for?
It's beautiful to find faith , and to help your fellow man I need !!!❤
The fact that he remembers and cherishes every word spoken to him is such a beautiful blessing ❤
Dude, they are actors.
You always remember the kindness others gave you during the lowest point of your life. One day, you will understand
@@garyhochstetler7082 ummm, seriously? And this is why u are soul less.
This is how you speak life changing truth to a broken soul without breaking him more!!❤
What a beautiful story!! So proud if you. What a great job to both of you.
That is so humble and says so much about Mel.
