Nov 10, 2020 by apost team

Mel Gibson har været i rampelyset i flere årtier nu, dog er det først for nylig, at hans voksne søn Milo Gibson også er ankommet i rampelyset. Det skyldes, at Milo havde en helt normal barndom og endda begyndte sin voksenalder med et helt almindeligt job, før han vendte sig til at skuespille. Nu hvor han er voksen og følger i sin fars fodspor, er det blevet svært at skelne dem fra hinanden!

Mel Gibson er den mandlige hovedrolle allerede siden 1980'erne og er ikke kun en berømt skuespiller ud fra de mange film , herunder Mad Max, Braveheart, The Patriot og What Women Want, men også er han en dygtig instruktør, der har instrueret Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ og Apocalypto.

Han er også en familiemand med ni børn ud fra tre forhold. En af hans børn, en søn ved navn Milo Gibson, har endda fulgt sin fars fodspor og tager nu Hollywood! Milo, som er 30 år i dag, er søn af Mel og hans første kone Robyn Moore. Han blev født den 16. november 1990 i Australien, men opvokset i USA - det modsatte af hans berømte far, der blev født den 3. januar 1956 i USA, men opvokset i Down Under!

But before we meet Milo Gibson, let's go back to the beginning. Born in the U.S., specifically Peekskill, New York, Mel Gibson was the sixth of 11 children to parents Hutton Gibson and Anne Patricia. His father was a writer and would go on to be a "Jeopardy!" grand champion in 1968. After Hutton Gibson was awarded a large payout in a work-related injury lawsuit in 1968, the family relocated to Sydney, Australia. The move wasn't completely random — Mel Gibson's paternal grandmother was opera singer Eva Mylott, who had been born there, although her family background was Irish.

It was in Australia that Mel Gibson got his acting start, studying at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). Training mostly in the British theater-tradition, he acted in many plays, but upon graduating in 1977, Mel Gibson was immediately cast in the film "Mad Max." While the movie would go on to incredible fame later on, in the meantime Mel Gibson eschewed further movie work in order to work as an actor in the theater in Adelaide for a season.

It was while living there that he met his first wife Robyn Moore Gibson. The couple would go on to be together for decades, marrying in 1980 and having their first child together that year. They had seven children in total but their relationship ended in divorce in 2011, with Robyn Moore Gibson entitled to half of her former husband's $850 million fortune.

Meanwhile, back in the early '80s after Mel Gibson had begun to work in the Australian film and theater industry, he continued shooting movies and his career only continued to grow after he appeared in films such as "Gallipoli," "The Year of Living Dangerously" and two "Mad Max" sequels — "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome." It was around this point in the mid-'80s that he and his wife packed up their belongings and moved to Hollywood. But unlike other hopefuls who are often unlucky in a new land, Mel Gibson's career only continued to climb. It was around this time that critics began to draw comparisons between Mel Gibson and other famous actors of the past including Steve McQueen, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Robert Redford and even "a combination of Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart." Needless to say, he had piqued the interest of film reviewers and audiences alike.

After a few movies in Hollywood, he landed the role of Martin Riggs in "Lethal Weapon," which only cemented his leading man status in Hollywood. A sequel, "Lethal Weapon 2," followed, as well as many other movies. By the 1990s, Mel Gibson was one of Hollywood's leading men and it was around this time that he began to focus on directing as well as acting.

But while Mel Gibson was on top of the world in his career, his personal life was flourishing too. He and Robyn Moore Gibson had already had a number of children including their eldest child Hannah Gibson, who was born in 1980, Christian Gibson, born in 1982, twins Edward and William Gibson in 1985, Louie Gibson in 1988, and Milo Gibson in 1990. The couple would go on to have one more child together, a son named Thomas Gibson, who was born a number of years after Milo Gibson. 

Interestingly, Mel Gibson's passion for the entertainment industry has been passed on to more than just his son Milo Gibson. Although Hannah Gibson didn't choose to pursue a career in acting like her famous father, she did follow him into show business, working as a makeup artist on his film "What Women Want." Like his older sister, Christian Gibson also chose to work in the industry, however not in front of the lens but behind it. He works as a camera operator and has even worked on his dad's movies "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Daddy's Home 2."

Twins Edward and William Gibson have bucked the family trend, however, choosing to live their lives outside of the spotlight. Louis Gibson is another one of Mel and Robyn Moore Gibson's kids who have followed their famous father into his line of work. He also prefers to stay behind the camera and has co-written and co-directed the 2017 movie "Happy Hunting." Then there's Milo Gibson, who's perhaps the most famous of his siblings. He starred with his dad in "Hacksaw Ridge" and is set to appear in "Manifest West" — which is co-directed by none other than his brother Louie Gibson! Lastly, there's Thomas Gibson, who just graduated from college in 2017, but his career aspirations — whether he'll follow his family's lineage into Hollywood or choose a more private life — are not yet known.

But the new millennium also brought a lot of change to Mel Gibson's life, both professionally and personally. After dominating the '90s and early '00s in Hollywood, Mel Gibson's work naturally slowed down, but a series of controversial incidents got him dropped by his talent agency and his projects were put on hold. It was also around this time that he and his wife divorced, leading to what is considered the most expensive divorce in Hollywood history.

While his first marriage was undergoing divorce proceedings, Mel Gibson began dating Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva, with whom he had his eighth child, Lucia Gibson, who was born in 2009. However, the relationship was not meant to be and didn't last long, while it was mired in messy allegations that only brought about more controversy to Mel Gibson's life.

Then in 2014, Mel Gibson's luck began to turn around as he met his current partner and former equestrian, Rosalind Ross. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2017 named Lars Gibson, the actor's ninth child, and the couple is still going strong. It was also around this time that his career began to get back on track, as he appeared in "The Expendables 3" opposite Sylvester Stallone and in 2016 released "Hacksaw Ridge" to great acclaim.

Finally appearing settled after years of turbulence in his personal and professional life, Mel Gibson was asked about his relationship with Rosalind Ross and their 34-year age gap. Speaking to The Mirror, he said:

“Regarding age and relationships, it’s just a number. We dig each other. She is an adult and we dig each other. It might cause a problem and one has a trepidation about these things, but it’s working out great. She is a really special person. I dig her. So there you go. That’s it. What more can one ask?”

The proud dad of nine children has even found time to make jokes about how many offspring he's had. Upon welcoming his ninth kid into the world, he joked to Entertainment Tonight about having more kids than Clint Eastwood, who's equally known for his large family. He said:

“I was talking to Clint the other day. I said, ‘How many kids you got?’ He said, ‘Eight.’ So I’m beating him.”

Milo tager sig af sin fars flotte udseende og deres lighed er lidt uhyggelig. Han debuterede først i filmen Hacksaw Ridge, der tilfældigvis blev instrueret af hans far Mel. I en interview fortalte han Entertainment Tonight:

”Det var virkelig sjovt at arbejde med ham. Det var et stærkt skuespiller-instruktørforhold. ”

Siden har han haft roller i Gangster Land og endda spillet mafiachefen Al Capone, All the Devil's Men og havde en stor rolle i filmen Hurricane

.Selvom han nu arbejder i familievirksomheden, ville Milo faktisk ikke være skuespiller i starten og valgte et par ret usædvanlige karriereveje på sin rejse til at blive en førende mand i Hollywood.

I det samme interview med Entertainment Tonight forklarede Milo, at han efter at have afsluttet gymnasiet blev massageterapeut i to år, hvilket ikke er det mest fremførende erhverv, men uden tvivl meget nyttigt. Men så skiftede han karriere til noget endnu mere uventet - Milo blev elektriker i hele fem år! Han sagde, at det var rigtig sjovt, men dog ikke noget, han ønskede at gøre resten af sit liv. Derfor overgangen med at skuespille i sidste ende

.I et interview med The Hollywood Reporter, talte Milo om hans spring fra elektriker jobbet til at være skuespiller, og om han ville fortsætte med skuespiller karrieren:

"Jeg tror, da min bror Louis og jeg var børn - han er instruktør nu - ville vi hele tiden lave hjemmevideoer, hvor jeg helst ville være skuespilleren og han ville være instruktøren. Så det var dér, hvor noget lignende startede. Men så flyttede jeg væk fra den tanke - det var nemlig ikke noget, der altid har været i mine tanker. Jeg tror, jeg mere ville prøve andre ting og der virkelig interesserede mig. Skuespiller karrieren blev bestemt aldrig skubbet af min far eller noget lignende. "

Milo fortsatte med, hvordan det med at ønske at leve uden beklagelse endda påvirkede hans beslutning:

" Men det var bestemt noget helt ombag i mit sind, som om det måske alligevel er noget, jeg gerne vil gøre [en dag]. Og så en dag var jeg lidt ligeglad, du ved, jeg vil ikke fylde 60 år og netop så fortryde ikke at have prøvet det - jeg tror, at mange mennesker fortryder mange ting senere i livet - og jeg ønskede ikke være en af disse mennesker."

Hvilket imponerende CV - han kan filme actionscener, derefter komme hjem, rette lysene til og endda give en massage. Sikke en drøm!

Hvis det er tilfældet, så vil det faktum, at Milo kommer ind i skuespiller branchen som en moden voksen, uden tvivl være til hans fordel. Vi vil sandsynligvis se en skuespilarv i denne familie - og nu ser Milo ud til nøjagtig at vide, hvad han virkelig vil gøre i sit liv, og det er at skuespille. Vi kan ikke vente med at se ham i flere film, og hvem ved, måske en dag så følger han længere i sin fars fodspor og ender med at instruere. Måske vil vi endda være heldige nok til at se omvendte roller og Milo instruere Mel!

Uanset hvad Milo beslutter sig for at gøre, så skal vi være tålmodige med at se, hvad den 30-årige skuespiller vil gøre i fremtiden. For alt hvad vi ved, så går han måske tilbage til at være massageterapeut eller elektriker. Eller måske begynder han at film instruere ligesom sin far. Uanset hvad, så er det helt klart, at han er en talentfuld ung mand, der er værd at se på i fremtiden, selvom han måske ikke bliver en Hollywood-superstjerne.
