Mel Gibson: Man on a Mission - Softcover
From cult stardom in the Mad Max movies, through the enormous box-office success of the Lethal Weapon films, to Braveheart, which earned him Oscars for Best Director and Best Film, Mel Gibson has firmly secured his place as a major Hollywood player. His most recent directorial project, The Passion of the Christ as enormously controversial as it was profitable has kept him in the spotlight. In Mel Gibson Man on a Mission, Wensley Clarkson takes a look at Gibson’s life and career in films, including his views on the furor surrounding The Passion of the Christ; the early years of women, drinking and gambling; his Hollywood business deals; his addiction to alcohol and how he overcame it; as well as his life with wife Robyn and their six children.
