Hollywood loves to trash & mock those they love to hate, always Christians & conservatives. For a while it's cool, but soon it's just pathetic. Mel is 100% authentic.
This is one man who has had his dirty laundry very well aired out in public, was shunned by Hollywood after the Oxsana debacle, but then came back stronger than ever. I've always been a fan of Gibson because he is so raw, honest & surprisingly conservative politically.
This gentleman was excellent at conducting the interview. He gave an actor a chance to showcase the pieces of himself in the body of work that made him famous.
Hollywood showed what they were made of when they ostracised Mel for being human. He was going through a personally rough time and they took it personally and made a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm not religious but the words "let he who casts the first stone......etc." He's a lovely man and a genius he deserved so much better than he got.
Yes, he's so great when he's honest like the time he told the Mom of his kids "I hope you get ra*ed by a pack of n*&^%$s. That was classic Mel. He's so much more honest when he's drunk. Will someone get Mel a drink already? We miss him.
A brilliant director and actor, versatile and charismatic. Yes, he's said some stupid things, just like everyone, especially if you're going through alcoholism. He's better now than he ever has been, Godspeed Mel ❤️
great actor, love his films , but he is far from a nice guy. There are very very very few people, male or female, that get the wealth fame and recognition such as his, by being nice.
Whenever I hear people talk about how awful Mel Gibson is, I can't really relate to that. I can see he has flaws and made mistakes, but I still see this Mel Gibson. Funny, unguarded and interesting. I hope he makes many more films. Such a huge fan of his.
Alcoholics and people addicted to drugs are like that. My ex wife was wonderful until she became addicted to opioids. Mel Gibson's anti-Jew rant, which he denies but is one tape, very similar to Trump btw....but it took Gibson getting drunk to say what Marlon Brando said sober "Jews control Hollywood." And they have ever since Chaplin. And might I add, maybe that's why Hollywood is as successful as it is. It's an international entertainment machine and quite a few Jewish people work in the industry. At least one less now that Havey Winstead is locked up.
He's alcoholic. It's sad. It's an addiction. His father is an anti-Jew, right wing Catholic that is mean and full of hate. I'm sure Gibson has a hard time reconciling his father's views(who greatly influenced him) and what he sees around him, in a much more diversive world, than where his father and he came from. Perhaps Mel will find some freedom now that his hateful, backward-looking father is gone.

Amongst the greatest actors of all time. Acting skills were so brilliantly played, seemed like his natural way of his real self . His talking so naturally and honestly throughout the interview. Hollywood politics is nasty and disgraceful to have schemed his downfall. Unforgivable

I’ve always liked Gibson, he’s been demonised somewhat by Hollywood, but he’s someone who knows his history, and he’s a very intelligent guy. He’s made some mistakes in life as a lot of us have. But he still seems like a good guy. Also such a famous successful handsome guy who’s never succumbed to plastic surgery etc, like some you his other contemporaries, I relate to his life very much.
I had 11 kids in our family. My mom is 89 and we have only lost one. Strict family Godly parents. Hardworking full of music And love. Great experience. My parents never fought.They were always in 😍love. Learned to love learned to share. I REALLY SEE THIS MA.N AS BEAUTIFUL. HOLLYWOOD IS FULL OF BAD PEOPLE. HE IS A BRAVE MAN.Braveheart
@@johnedington6083, I guess you are a brit, your drunk comment is because he is part Irish! The Irish drink no less than the British, America or anybody else! Its a derogatory British thing the Irish drink more than everyone else! It's a Irish thing if visit an Irish home, to give the best you have, a drink of whisky in by gone days, because they had nothing else, penal laws, hedge schools, and Famine , all caused by the British! No wonder Mel played in Braveheart and Patriot, all portraying his hate of the British /and their injuntices!
I was a very attractive green eyed young man , I had lots of girlfriends and had lots of fun , I still love life but am older now … I’m attractive for different reasons now , a dad , I own my two homes and have enough money to enable me not to work …. 🦧
As Robert Downey Jnr explained, they made Mel hug the cactus for too long. He's a Legend and worth much more than a lot of his pathetic detractors. Bravo Mel Gibson.
Robert standing up for Mel was quite impressive. Mel paid his dues, Hollywood can do better at forgiving a penitent soul, and the holier-than-thous of Tinseltown are truly pathetic.
@@mrdeliberate5175 it failed the book at every level. Too many deviations to cover. The book is about the amazing creation of the OED, an epic undertaking, and the story of its most interesting contributor, an American doctor serving life for murder in a home for the criminally insane. He went off on a tangent in the movie which was a failure such that it never had general release. Bad movie through and through.
I love Mel's passion and intensity. In every role he performs, it comes out somewhere! Brave Heart was a masterpiece. Hope he will soon be showing us more of his work!
@@melgibsonmelgibson9433we love you Mel! Your courage and faith have come thru your films and actually changed people's lives for the better. God bless you!
@MsMissy Tell that to the Scots and the Irish! You don't have to like Mel. Millions love him. I love the Brits except for their snobbery. Besides winning Best Picture isn't that impressive! And being one of the best looking men on the planet: who cares? And making a movie that caused people to repent of their sins and turn back to God and literally made them see good and evil for what it is. That's no big deal. That's genius. That's all.
What a great interview.I'm sure being brought up in Australia,from 12 to adulthood, made Mel a more down to earth individual and shaped him into the level headed bloke he is today.Certainly an interesting fella.
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime Yes. By long shot. Aussies are known around the world for being down to Earth and straight talking. Americans are known around the world as being barely-literate, obnoxious, agressive, terrible at history and geography, and for being very thin skinned.
Episode aired Mar 2, 2002 Michael Parkinson (b 28 Mar 1935 -) was 66. He is now 88. Mel Gibson (b Jan 3 1956 -) was 46. He is now 67. Both are around 5’10.
A real Star ⭐️ from Old days ! Not like today’s one days fly 🪰 . Hope he make more movies with him in the Leading role, like Mad Max, Braveheart, Letal Weapon. He is definitely one of the greatest and coolest Movie Star of all time.
Mel Gibson is authentic and as down to earth as they come, I have enormous respect for him. Love the focus he’s placed in film on the biblical side, just amazing!! RIP Michael Parkinson.
Wht I like about Mel is is he knows he is lucky. He's not arrogant about his looks/money/fame. He realises he was lucky and ran with it, staying humble. Some say he didn't age well. He aged naturally. Without the botoxx, chemicals peels, plastics that is how we age. I like he has come off the booze and seems to live a better life for it.
I like Mel and don't give a damn for those that don't. He's clearly nervous early in the interview with Parky, but he relaxes and you hear how funny he is. I kinda wish Mel still had an Aussie accent - he was one of us, very laconic and honest.
Michael must have researched for ages but his delivery isn't rushed, he takes his time and listens and extracts the stories. Craftsman at work. Mel has never looked or sounded more likable.
I remember watching this back when it came out..and I didn't like it. I thought it was just too clichéd...but, I recently caught it in cable..i thought it was actually pretty good.
Yes because the newest talk shows do not talk about anything at all. They show pure crap. Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel are idiots promoting the left and hating our president. That is all they are. Who pays them? And why?
Mel is the most handsome nd most honest actor. How others have the audacity to judge him, with their endless marriages and drugs nd God knows what all.
Love this guy .Fell in love after seeing Tim! Cant wait till i see him in Glasgows Hilton Hotel in an Experience with Mel Gibson .Its been cancelled 3 times .So excited ! Just love him 😍 well i loved Hamlet but Air America was amazing and Braveheart well it held its own !
A, Eloquent & intelligent with a rawness in his personality have always admired Mel, like Mel I ended up coming to Australia 🇦🇺 in my early twenty & have made Australia my home. Interesting part about his father. Signed Kiwi 🇳🇿🐑
I will never forget watching his father, here in Aus, win two game shows back in the day. He was brilliant! I think they actually created the second game show so that Mel’s father could be on the first show. Hilton I feel his name was or maybe Hinton. The best I had ever seen and I watched them all.
@@conniecarroll747 Funny, I've never gone on racist and antisemitic tirades, no matter how plastered I've been. I think There's a limit how far you can get away with the "...But I was drunk!" -card. You're free to disagree, of course.
Best acting I have ever seen in my life came from Mel in the movie Mutiny on the bounty. The scene where he initially takes over the ship is absolutely riveting.
Mel gibson is a legend both as a actor and director and a really nice guy too he has had made mistakes in his life thankfully all is forgotten and he got a second chance in Hollywood
First film I saw you was Tim come along way since knew you was special legend stay strong stay safe everyone stay strong stay safe sending love from UK takecare xxx

Mel is brilliant. Reason those who dislike him is because he doesn’t buy their b.s.
He always does great interviews he's one of only a few actors that shows humility in such a graceful way.
I didn't know Mr Mel Gibson was such a likable and intelligent guy. An old school guy with a great sense of humor.
That's the Parkinson factor.
Hollywood loves to trash & mock those they love to hate, always Christians & conservatives. For a while it's cool, but soon it's just pathetic. Mel is 100% authentic.
Still is
There's a little clip on some dirty business going on with China elsewhere on TH-cam . He's very into international politics and business .
He's not a nice man
He is not only a very talented actor and director, he is also a great honest human being who talks without filter. And that is why I love him.

When drunk he speaks his mind

This interview was in 2001, notice how he referred to hollywood as hoolyweird and said he felt they wanted to sacrifice him???
yeah,....he knows.
Always liked Mel Gibson, a few of his movies in my top 20, brilliant
What a humble and honest guy. We are all Mel Gibson. Thank God its official for me now.
I like Mel and don't give a damn for those that don't. He's clearly nervous early in the interview with Parky, but he relaxes and you hear how funny he is. I kinda wish Mel still had an Aussie accent - he was one of us, very laconic and honest.
Yeah me too.
Gorgeous and blessed Man
I don’t care what anybody says about Mel. He is an inspiration, a good man and definitely a bad ass! God Bless Mel
Is Zeus you're personal God belief
Michael must have researched for ages but his delivery isn't rushed, he takes his time and listens and extracts the stories. Craftsman at work. Mel has never looked or sounded more likable.
Priceless interview. Thank you for posting!
That's fine
Dont change for anyone Mel and keep telling the truth if u can x
Say what you will about the man but his craft and work is amazing.
You really don't get celebrity interviews like this anymore. I doubt anyone got into Mel Gibson like this again
Beautiful smile ! A very kind man ! ❤️🗽🗼
A real guy. In a unreal job. Totally respect to the MAN.
A true genius.
much for believing in me
He made some mistakes but he still one of my favorite actors of all time.
He was amazing in Gallipoli , braveheart, lethal weapon. My favourites
I remember watching this the night it was broadcast and going to the cinema to see We Were Soldiers
I remember watching this back when it came out..and I didn't like it. I thought it was just too clichéd...but, I recently caught it in cable..i thought it was actually pretty good.
Yes because the newest talk shows do not talk about anything at all. They show pure crap.
Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel are idiots promoting the left and hating our president. That is all they are. Who pays them? And why?
He looks and sounds fantastic ♥️♥️♥️
By far my favorite actor. I've seen every single one of his movies. He just seems like a straight up good man. Luv ya Mel.
God Bless Mel Gibson !!!
HE has!
Is Zeus you're personal God belief that you spread
Diplomatic intelligent creative shrewd honest talented humble man ... That's the impression I get...
He's an actor
Love Mel Gibson! Great actor and diector. I'll never forget his powerful portrayal in Hamlet. Unforgettable
Another "Hamlet" fan? I've been wondering if anyone else liked that.
Great actor and even a better Director..
I Love this man
Wonderful! I love Mel Gibson… Thank you very much, Mr. Parkinson!
One of My fav actors . Long side Eastwood, and Harrison Ford.
But. No. Did you not hear ? *Wayne* and Ford ! :)
Mel is the most handsome nd most honest actor. How others have the audacity to judge him, with their endless marriages and drugs nd God knows what all.
God is evil
A straight talking man. I understand him in that he doesn't know where he's from. A man of the world.
mel is honest in the most Australian way..he was raised in Australia at his most impressionable age
Love this guy .Fell in love after seeing Tim! Cant wait till i see him in Glasgows Hilton Hotel in an Experience with Mel Gibson .Its been cancelled 3 times .So excited ! Just love him 😍 well i loved Hamlet but Air America was amazing and Braveheart well it held its own !
Yuk
I absolutely loved Hamlet done by him.
I’ll 2nd that mate 👍👍
There needs to be more men like Mel Gibson
What has happened to men these days ? 💕💕
A, Eloquent & intelligent with a rawness in his personality have always admired Mel, like Mel I ended up coming to Australia 🇦🇺 in my early twenty & have made Australia my home.
Interesting part about his father.
Signed Kiwi 🇳🇿🐑
I will never forget watching his father, here in Aus, win two game shows back in the day. He was brilliant! I think they actually created the second game show so that Mel’s father could be on the first show. Hilton I feel his name was or maybe Hinton. The best I had ever seen and I watched them all.
Never knew that Mel had such finite, vaste and rich vocabulary, and a very dauntiw presence. Just wow
It's a pitty this man is being judged by what he said while drunk. No one should be judged on that basis.
It's a pity, that his actual character shows.
@@laalki80 Your character when your drunk is NOT your actual character! Everyone says stupid things they regret when they're drunk.
@@conniecarroll747 Funny, I've never gone on racist and antisemitic tirades, no matter how plastered I've been. I think There's a limit how far you can get away with the "...But I was drunk!" -card. You're free to disagree, of course.
such a genuine HUMAN!!!!!
Best acting I have ever seen in my life came from Mel in the movie
Mutiny on the bounty. The scene where he initially takes over the ship is absolutely riveting.
One of my fave films..eventually I was in Tahiti / Moreea and was wowed by beauty of the region. No wonder mem jumped ship there.
Love him ❤️
Thanks so much for believing in me
Strange comment
A fantastic human being. Sure he’s an alchy that’s made mistakes, but haven’t we all. Mel is a good man.
He's a Primate
