Mel Gibson Gives First interview Since Abuse Allegations

News

Mel Gibson has been silent ever since allegations of abuse surfaced against his girlfriend, and the tapes that shocked the world were release. Mel has been silent ever since …. until now. Deadline Hollywood has an exclusive interview with the man here.

Amongst the highlights:

— He doesn’t care if he acts anymore, as he has other projects on the horizon that could occupy his time
— He’s not overtly offended by being replaced in The Hangover 2 (“It seemed like a good idea at the time and it went south.”)
— Jodie Foster is a huge reason why he took on the lead role in The Beaver
— Discussion of his personal life is rather limited, especially the incidents in question

The Beaver opens in a limited release May 6, 2011
