Humble, real, hyper-intelligent, sensitive, erudite. I mean, the man remembers John Clothier, a camera operator who shot the flying sword in "Braveheart" way back when. But then he never fails to give credit to his crew. Great interview.Thanks.

Hacksaw Ridge was incredible, and I hope that this gives Mel the comeback he deserves.

My goodness, Mel Gibson is so humble and remembering peoples names who are not famous, but recognizes and appreciated their loyalty, or having had a good times together. His very good looks I believe got him into this industry, and his intelligence and daringness, and of course, his talent makes him an exceptional rare individual. Loved the interview!

Also really glad the way he portrayed John MacLean as a MacLean; fun fact John Maclean's names comes from the translation (MacLean- son of the servant of saint John)

Mel reached the lost in this world for Christ which is why the Lord has blessed him. He also never allowed himself to get into the evil side of Hollywood!! God bless this dear man and keep him away from those who try to hurt him .. He is one of a kind indeed.

That may be one of the best interviews I've ever seen. I don't think I've seen any "big name" put so much thought into every question. So much respect for Mel, warts and all.

The interviewer did a great job. Quick, informed and relevant questions that kept the convo going easily. You rarely hear Mel get this indepth with his career.

This interview was an absolute pleasure to view. Mel makes movies with a glorious gumption that I find so astonishingly rare. It isn't about shock value for the sake of it. It doesn't go to lurid places or show us the underside of people like most movies lazily do while pretending to be profound without being minutely useful. It shows you the daring of people who make worthwhile stands that cost. I always leave his movies feeling more enlightened, processing the material for years, and find them utterly unforgettable. I have to say, Hollywood excoriating him after an anti-Semitic rant while plastered-- with the skeletons in their closets that must keep them on drugs to manage the anxiety of being found out...well, that's a level of hypocrisy hard to stomach. I'm so glad he's risen above it all and continues bravely forward. He has too much in his vast arsenal of talent to bury it.

This is the best interview ive seen in a long long time. You really made him feel comfortable in an industry kinda way. You really know your stuff. I am not a fan of celebville, but feel that Mel and only a handful of others (Robin Williams for example) are a real blessing to all of us. He is the perfect balance of an artist who has not been corrupted, and still directs his own soul, yet is entrenched just enough to understand how to stay just inside the industry.........just.........with his talent being the adhesive. He his a genius of sorts, and we are very lucky to have him. Well done.

Tremendous interview, its an art to get the hell out of the way and bring them to the table.

This is a wonderful interview. Thank you!

What a fantastic interview, Mel is great to listen to, one of your more interesting interviews, I can see why you extended for an hour. I love Mel!

Great interview! Loved every minute of it. I will remember the three "E"'s.

I probably could've watched at least another hour of this. That man ought to be showered with money and work.

I met Mr Doss in 1995. This movie only scratched the surface of his life, but MrG did a great job in telling it. Two thumbs up MrG!

Great interview! Mel Gibson is remarkable. The man is a genius as both an actor and a director, truly the best of his generation in my opinion. I really love and respect his honesty and courage to speak his mind. His films will continue to speak to how good he is, timeless.

What an inspiring and talented guy! Glad to see him making a comeback.

I was surprised at how many actors known and unknown really did hang around the set and ask questions about what we were doing and how it worked. We loved it.

Mel has always been one of my favorites. His courage to produce outside the studios is impressive, both in Passion and Hacksaw Ridge. His inspirational movies are awesome.
