Hollywood actor Mel Gibson recently found himself in controversy after appearing to mimic a sign language interpreter's gestures at a fan expo event in Toronto, Canada. Gibson expressed his regret, calling it a "thoughtless stupid act." In a statement on the 31st, he sincerely apologized to everyone who felt offended.
He clarified that there was "no malicious intent" behind his actions, explaining that distractions can occur on stage. However, the incident quickly spread on social media, with many netizens criticizing his behavior as rude and insensitive. Conversely, some argued that it is difficult to definitively conclude mocking intent based solely on the video.
Gibson has been involved in several controversies in the past. In 2006, he was arrested for drunk driving and made anti-Semitic remarks. In 2010, recordings of him making racist comments during a violent incident with his girlfriend were released, causing a significant uproar. He is currently directing the sequel to the film "The Passion of the Christ," titled "Resurrection of Christ," with the first installment set to be released in 2027.
